stirred things movable into a chaotic
tumble scarcely deemed possible.
At about $40 the rain began TO fall
in regular torrents, and then, without
previous warning q whirling of the ele
ments was suddenly noticed and in
less time than it takes to tell it build-
ings were Frustrated, windmills scat
tered, and the roaring demon of the
prairies. the dreaded cyclone. passed
on TO spend its fury in the upper air.
Among the buildings damaged were
the following:
Moses Bros. grain elevator was COM
pletely demolished: J. R. Bakers eleva-
tor, larger building was badly twist
ed by the wind and otherwise damaged
by the large Santa Fe wind mill being
blown against 1t. At the Bowman
home the house was badly wrecked:
and r. G. McDougal's house and barn
were both twisted and moved off their
foundations. Mr.. Roddy'S house and
Ed Barrett's barn each became resist
less victims TO the storm; John Lindas'
barn was demolished and the lumber
in his lumber yard spread promseuous-
ly over the prairie about the town;W. s.
McDOugal's livery barn was badly dam
aged, and Newt Smiths barn wrecked.
The church buildings of the town. as
churches generally do, succomed to the
raging monster and both the Methodist
and Christian church buildings were
wrecked. Charles Gano's store build
ing was damaged by the entire front
being blown in, and numerous wind
mills about the town were demolished,
to say nothing about small out build
ings and sheds. Considerable damage
was done to orchards and shade trees
in the path of the cyclone.
Fortunately, and almost miraculous.
ly, no individual was injured person
ally; but to say that the citizens were
not considerably frightened would be
untrue.
The plucky citizens have already
gone to work and had most of the dam
ages repaired; but the boom in cave
building will probably receive new
| impetus.

Ed t RARRER
Superintendent, City Schoo
Great Benders Abroad.

From the Houghton County Progress,
of Hancock, Michigan, we take the
following concerning Capt. Samuel
Penna, of this city:
AN OLD SETTLER.
An interesting couple of tourists ar
rived Friday last on the India and are
enjoying pleasant meeting with long
parted friends and old scenes in town.
They are Mr.. and Mrs. Capt. Penns, of
Great Bend, Kansas. The captain, as
many hereabouts will remember, was
among the first of those who peOpled
this region in its primitive wildness
some forty years ago. He was the
master mind who captained the old
Cliff mine. which has long since fallen
into desuetude and decay. Shortly
after, he enjoyed the unique honor of
having laid The rope and sent the first
car down the incline, into the Frank
lin mill. SeverIng his connection with
the Franklin, he went TO accept the cap
tainship of the Lake Superior Iron mine
at Ishpeming. This last position Of
trust was the close of his notable career
in Michigan mining. In his present
home at Great Bend he has large farms
ing interests. The captain and Mrs
Penna are accompanied by their
daughter, Clara. and nephew. Fred
Harper. Mrs Don Bacon, of Tower,
Minnesota, is a daughter of Capt.
Penna.
