The heavy wind and rain storm that
prevailed throughout the northwest dur
ing the early hours of Friday morning
OF last week visited our city with gen.
eral shaking up as has never before been
; experienced in the history of Langdon.
The storm broke here about four a. m.
violent winds somewhat of cyclonic ma
ture, coming from northwestern direction,
accompanied by heavy RAIN, thunder and
lightning, in fact being the worst storm
ever seen by the Oldest settler. Its dura-
ton was only half hour, but in the
morning considerable damage was found
to have been done in various parts OF the
town. Several chimneys were blown
down: the new barn of Drayman Pen
mock, was shifted from it's foundation;
the partially completed house and barn
of George Balson, ST., south of the track
were also moved from their foundation;
number of shade trees broken down
and windows blown in without number.
Reports from the country vary as to the
severity of the storm; generally showing
that sheds, granaries and barns have
suffered damage to greater or less ex-
tent all over the county. At Dresden
the new livery stable Of John Gagan, at
present in course of construction was
| leveled to the ground and several lumber
piles in the Haskamp yard we're scattered
, over the town. Osnabrock also felt the
force of the storm and the store fronts of
, one or two OF the business houses totally
destroyed.
