WORK OF LIGHTNING AND HAIL,
Tuesdays Storm Results in much
Destruction in this Vicinity.

The storm which passed over this city
early last Tuesday morning was even
more severe in other portions of the
county. In Sigel particularly was the
downfall of rain unusually heavy, and
the water in the lakes and streams rose
over foot as result In some places
water stood on the roads to the HEIGHT
of the hub in wagon wheel. and corn
and shocks of grain were quite gener-
ally laid to the ground. Other town
ships also suffered from the rain, while
here and there were strips affected bv
hail.
The work of the lightning was still
more destructive. Jos. Sittauer of Sieel
lost a horse, John Korbel a stack of
hay, Mrs. Dinner of Hanska two horses,
Ben Marti of Milford two COWS, M,
SUPPER of Cottonwood some cattle, Mr..
Draxler of Lafayette stack of grain,
Ole Bergquist of Lake Hanska two
horses, and Ole Joromo of the same
town some cattle. The Courtland Ele-
vator. owned by the New Ulm Elevator
Co., was also struck by bolt, but for
tunately the fire was extingulshed be-
fore it gained headwav. In the town
OF Riverdale near the line of Brown
county, son of John Leaf was struck
and instantly killed. At the time he

ing near the new barn on their farm
and not far from each other. Mr.. Leaf
was in the doorway Of the house when
the flash came, and saw the two elder
boys fall. One, fourteen years old, was
stunned, but afterwards recovered. Ef-
forts to resuscitate the oldest one bv
pouring cold water on him were of no
avail,
The remarkable heat of Saturday cul-
minated between five and six in the
afternoon in a heavy hail storm which
swept over sections in the western por-
tlon of the county. At New Ulm it on
.ly rained slightly, but from Golden as
far west as Tracy, hail fell, covering the
ground to depth of several inches.
Wherever grain remained uncut, the
storm left it's destructive traces and
fruit suffered terribly. Window lights
in many places were also shattered.

that two men had overtaken him as he
was walking out to his home three miles
southeast of town and had assaulted
him, knocking him down and beating
him with whipnandle. He was still
bleeding quite badly when brought in.

CHAPTER III.

The Larches was a fine old Elizabethan
mansion, surrounded by ample grounds,
laid out in excellent taste, and broad
terrace occupied a consid .rable stretch of
the frontage. As Miss Durnford and her
niece approached tins terrace, female tig-
ure suddenly appeared upon 1t, and, after
gazing Tor moment at the visitors, ran
quickly down the steps and hurried up to
them.
"How good OF you TO come and bring
cousin SO quickly, auntie Rachel" cried
fresh hearty voice, with marked but not
vulgar North Country accent; and the
young lady threw her arms around Miss
Durnford and kissed her; then she turned
TO lima, scanning her from head 10 foot
with round frank eyes that expressed un-
disguised admiration.
81 am so glad 10 see you, cousinv' clasp
ing Ilma's white hand in an ample brown
palm. al am sure we shall get on beau

"And | am lma," said the Canadian
in turn inspecting her cousin but with
gaze more keenly observant and not ex-
actly admiring, though giving no indica-
ton of opinion.
Rose Sabine was not handsome, though
she might have fairly been called good
looking. She had clear complexion, with
good deal OF color, round bright blue
eyes, and soft brown hair; but her figure
was little too robust for her height, and
her arched brows gave her surprised
look that lima thought "funny." but no
one could have mistaken Miss Sabine for
anything but lady, though equally mani
fest was II that she was provincial.
"Mamma and jamie are in the drawing

Miss Durnford.
"Have you family here with curse"

old-word. We have no such things in

or something of that sort"
Rose laughed mcrrly; then she looked
very grave.
"You wouldn't care about the Darrell

She led the way through the open win
dow into the drawing-room, and pale
sickly-looking lady rose from q fauteuil

to meet the young stranger.

though less demonstratiyely than Rose had
done.
Tears nlled Ilma's large brown eyes
How good they all were 10 treat her SO
lovingly, as IL they had known her for
long time. Her aunt Sabine made her sit
down by her, and, holding the little hand
i'm her own, asked her about her uncle,
and Ler life in Canada and her journey
over. After time Mrs. Sabine handed
over her niece to her cousins.

smiling; "young folk like to be together.

Rose promised TO tell me some legend

jamie; "but i am afraid you will think

The Sabine girls fetched their hats, and
the three young people went of merrily
to the Gipsy's Weir.
"Now do tell me, Rose" said lima, as
soon as they reached the grounds, .'about
this Dark Darrell and the curse"
Rose was ready enough.
"YOu foreigners are impatient" she be-
gan, laughing, unable perhaps TO resist the
