During the storm of Sunday night q
fall of hail occurred near Menominee,
on the Nebraska side OF the Missouri
which has not been excelled for disas-
trous results in many years. One far

sides this damage to live stock the fruit
trees within an area of five miles we're
stripped of leaves and blossoms, and the
