Big Hail Damage.

The Alert reported Saturday that Fri
day nights storm did damage by hail IN
Ransom county, later reports state that
I the wind, hail and rain we're something
dreadful. The path of the hail stricken
district reaches from Anselm on the 500
west, along the north side Of the
Sheyenne river, over fifteen miles in
length, and varies from one and one
half to two miles in width, entailing a
total damage to over 10000 acres of grain
As the storm reached Buttzville, 1t grew
worse and widened, destroying 1000
acres o! D. H. Buttz's grain. The roar
ing of hail sounded like the firing of
artillery. A heavy wind and rain &C.
companied the hail. Two storms, east
and west seemed to meet at or near Lis
bon at about O'Clock and continued in
msddened fury up to 8 o'clock. The
loss by hail IN the vicinity of Elliott is
conservatively estimated at 1000 acres,
and many farm bulldings we're blown
from the foundations. The total lose as
far as possible to ascertain is from 3O,-
900 to 10000 acres. Hail stones 40 large
as teacups fell in many places. The
rain precipitation was over four inches.
The damage by heat is said to be over
one.half in certain sections in southern
portions of the county. Very little in
onpance ThaPo are M other nariOua
hail losses reported from the ftorm.

Dakota to put up large amount of wild
hay to ship and sell. One OF the diff.
culties IN the past with hay made in
some sections on our line has been that
it has not been put until late in the sea-
son, consequently lacking the fair mer-
ohantable quality that Is essential to
profit. If farmers will put up hay in
good order in July before it grows too
rank and the good qualities have been
destroyed by the toughening process in
cident to full maturity, there promises
to be good market for all they have to
sell.

Wimbledon's artesian we'll is some
thing OF an elephant. The we'll has a
pressure Of 80 pounds, but throws up
continuously large quantity Of fine
sand. The we'll has been partly shut off

railway track are constantly full Of
water which threatens to encroach on
adjoining farms to the ruin Of grain. It
is understood that the use of the we'll
has been offered by the railway COM
pany, the owners. to any one who would
confine it's flow and be responsible for it.
One of the conspicuous objects near
Wimbledon is Sam L,ily's large hay and

An effort Will be made to induce the Park
Commission to raise the old Barley Mill
dam high enough to back the water of the
Brandywine sufficiently. to restore the fam
Gus skating facilities which once existed
there.
In the rooms of the Delaware Historical
Society is painting Of the old mill, which
has been made famous in two countries by
its association with the career of Hamilton
Rowan. the Irish refugee. The picture is
a winter scene and number of men and
women are apparently gliding over the
smooth ice.
In more recent times the dam was FAM
Gus place for skaters. AS the years have
gone by. however, the foundation of the
old dam has become lower and lower. and
this allows the water to run of. By the
expenditure of a small sum the foundation
could be raised a foot or two. This would
make enough back water to provide for
good skating again.
Wilmington is poorly supplied with good
places TO skate. The best are on some
isolated pond or creek away from police
protection.
