fierce wind storm, or series of wind

the damage done to life and property,

We're three of unus ual severity. The west
ernmost arose in South Dakota, and

heard Of at Renville, where it was only
i 40 rods wide and Of corresponding in
tersity of action. There was rother

retcrd-of devastation for buildings and
property. Litchfeld was the next in line,
but apparently the cyclone which passed
near there was one which developed sew
eral hours later. Two were killed and
many injured. The northernmost point
in the central part of the storm path ap-
pareDtly was Colegeville, in Stearns
county, where the damage was principally
to the buildings of St. Johns university.
The eastern end of the storm started in
with it's work of devastation and death
at Window, about half-Iast seven, or an
hour and half later than the central
storm. No great damage was done at
this point, but when the storm which
developed decided dyclonic tendencies
reached Sleepy Eye shortly before 8
O'Clock, its intensity vas incalculable.
At least one vas killed and a number
injured. The same storm next struck
Glencoe, where its work was death deal
ing. The number of killed and injured
there has not been definitely ascertained
yet. but the Indications are that the
wind played as great havoc there as any

the main portion of the storm did not
strike either city. Considerable damage
however, was Done.
