captain of the Carthage Greys, a local
military organization. and was in charge
OF that company on guard at the old

during the Mormon war in Hancock county,
Gen. Smith had command Of this military Or
ganization, and was wounded at the battle Of

ST. PAUL, Mimi, April s6.-Reports
from 100 points in Minnesota tonight
indicate that the great storm which
began last Wednesday with twenty
inches of SNOW is still raging. Since
daylight this morning it has been alter
nately raining, hailing and showing.
Farmers all over this region are
pretty nearly discouraged over the out
look for crops. Not an acre of grain
has been sown in North Dakota nor a.
any point in Minnesota north Of ST.
Cloud, and there is no prospect thai
any will be sown in the next ten days.
In northern Minnesota. around Crooks

farm lands have been converted into
lakes by overtiowing streams and ali
talk of putting in a crop is out of the
question. Weather reports indicate
