ST. PAUL, Mimi, May 22.-Heavy

much thunder and lightning, prevailed
in this section all Sunday night, doing
great damage to property and injuring
a large number of people. 1t was
one of the worst gales ever
experienced here. The velocity
over the heights between the
twin cities was but little less than that
of cyclone. The damage in the city
to plate-glass windows was considera-
BILE. Serious damages were sustained
in all parts of this city, buildings, trees,
plate-glass, bridges and boats suffering
to the extent of many thousands of dol
lars.
At the state farm near St Anthony
park serious results were not at all un-
expected during the night, and about 2
o'clock in the morning the fears were
intensified by the sudden collapse of
the cattle barn. The structure was
100 by so feet in size and contained
fifty head of stock, but the wind
was strong enough to lift the entire
roof off and over the heads of the cattle.
The walls fell outward, fortunately
and the animals escaped unhurt. A
little later the windmill was torn to
pieces, and by morning the storm had
wrecked about $1,000 worth of proper
ty. Nobody was hurt.
