ELEMENTS TURNED LOOSE,

A Furious Storm a Evening Pre-
coded by N Mnder storm Saturday
Evening.
Saturday evening brought a severe
storm, though it did not prove to be so
serious as ats appearance threatened.
Outside the city the wind and rain was
not SO heavy as in this immediate vicln-
ity. OF q different nature was a storm
which came last evening. This storm
gathered itself aftes 9 day of cool
breezes and delightful atmosphere, and
ss it was n Of the kind which usually
come OF the end of a heated term of
sixty hours or more, il was somewhat
ont OF the usual order. But this fact
did not prevent it being disastrous. From
ell sections OF Yankton county to-day
have come reports OF a devastating blast
and heavy rain and hail in some sections.
West OF the city as far as Tabor, in east
Bon Homme county, the wind blew with
unusual fury end heavy hail stones,
with torrents of rain followed in the
wake of the breezes. North OF the city
the visitation was more severe than west
From Utica to near Violin, over q strip
about q mile in width, a young tornado
swept. unroofing barns, overturning
small buildings and driving people and
animals to shelter in much haste. East
of the CITY wind and rain of less severity
is reported, while south, in Nebraska, a
drenching rain fell.
The damage done cannot be estimated.
The farmers generally are busy in their
fields, and cannot be generally seer
without being called upon ct their
homes. Several, however, have been
found by the reporter and they tell OF
dattened corn and badly damaged OATS.
wheat, rye and barley /,
where the grain had not been cut.
The damage to corr will be light, az
it will straighten up, but the leaves are
badly torn by hail and wind, and had the
storm occurred n week earlier the
damage would be very great. The
fields of small grain will cause much
trouble TO harvesters, and 1t is fortunate
that a greater portion of the grain is al
ready in shocks or stacks. Many fields
will now have to be cut with q mower,
the straw being too ripe to straighten UT
sufficiently to permit binding with 6
self binder or even cutting and binding
in the old fashioned way.
The damage to trees and shrubbery
especially apple trees, will be extensive,
VIM. Box's apple orchard was severely
shattered, several trees being broken off
and apples blown to the ground.
Window glass in the regions where
hail fell was mostly destroyed.
In the city many roots were vel
through and the cutters and streets were
cleaned of every thing loose. a large
barn on Strunk's farm. on Beaver creek
was unroofed.

AotHl Value VI Gil StSfoo,'oo
These figures, the assessor says, repre-
sent about one half the value OF property
ss fixed by she owner of the property.
So it may be recorded that Yankton city
is worth, in round numbers, three mil
lion dollars.
The city assessor differs with the
county assessor in some important par
ticulars. He finds the value OF money
and credits in the city to be $l31,5O5
while the county assessor could find
but 500 800 in the entire county. The
city assessor has given this branch of his
work very close attention and has
brought out considerable that has not
heretofore been visible to an assessor.
In the valuation of Yankton city lots he
is about SIS, 900 below the county asses
sor, though he finds owe $50. 900 worth
of acre property in the city. This the
county assessor probably placed under
the general heading of farming lands"
This is the first year Ysnkton city has
had an assessor independent of the
county assessor. The result comnends
the new departure and it will probably
be made q permanent arrangement.

That was no Fishe-A Fiasco Which
Ended in Nothing.
A large crowd Of men and boys were
roticed in a certain locality in west
Yankton at about 7 O'Clock on Saturday
night and those people who saw them
probably wondered what was mp. The
crowd was attracted by the hope that 8
rooster fight between local game chick.
nj would occur but the crowd was
fooled, for there was no fight. But it
was not because the roosters, steel
spurred and we'll groomed, were not will
ing. 1t was because the hackers of the
chickens could not agree. Money had
been placed and q fight arranged for, but
mi side claimed o foul and the referee
was obliged to decide it a draw before
the fight begun. Among the assembled
crowd there were many people who have
never sect q cock fight and some of them
could not tell whether the chickens ex-
hibited were hens or roosters and this
portion OF the multitude stood around
with it's mouth open and wondered why
in cain the roosters were not turned
loose. But the hackers argued, and
shook fists and used strong expressions,
but no rooster fight resulted. The thing
finally resulted in a long drawn howl of
derision from the crowd and just az q
storm came bowling down from the west
the bamboozled sports started for town.
When they reached shelter their Bars
and eyes were full os dust and their
hearts and minds we're full of disgust.
Thus resulted what promised to be q
great sporting event. The roosters had
sand, but their owners could not agree.

THE KENNEL CLUE.
The Coming bog show,


The entries to the coming bench show to
be held under the auspices Of the New Haven
Kennel club will close Thursday, April 9th.
Already large number of entries have been
received, and prospects are very fattering for
successful show. New Haven has become
quite stdog town" since the first show was
held here. Cocker spaniels have been quite
the rage; they are too well known to need
describing, except that the best cookers
should be solid black in color, not weigh
over % pounds, their coat should be long and
silky, not curly. G. B. Gilbert, of Stoddard,
Kimberly & Co., has the finest pair of Eng
lish Bassett hounds in this country. They
are very rare species of dog here. E. s.
Porter, the secretary of the Kennel club, has
a large number of bull terriers and bull
dogs. The Elm City Kennels has very fine
pair of English greyhounds. This was the
first kennel started in this city; at one time
it contained as many as 10 or 20 dogs, but
they have only very few now.
