HAIL DESTROYS WHEAT.
Two Million Bushels, It Is Estimated
Are Total Loss.

ARE Otal LOSS
st. Paul, Mimi, Aug. 1O.-A Fargo,
N. D., special says: Two million bushels
of wheat are estimated to have been
lost in todays hail storm, which par
TALLY destroyed the crop on nearly two
hundred and fifty thousand acres Of
land in the state. Heavy wind and
rain storms completed the destruction
of thousands of acres of grain on either
side of the path of the hail. Covering
an area of Is miles north and south be-
tween Argusville and Gardner in Cass,
to Kelso, in Trail and on the east and
west territory ranging from five miles
wide on the south to Is or 90 on
the north, the country is practically de-
vastated.
Losses are estimated at from 25 to
100 per cent of the crop. The acreage
lost in Cass and Trail is placed at
from 100000 to 100000 acres. Many
conservative estimates say that so per
cent of the crop on $4,000 acres is not
too large an estimate for the destruc-
ton in Cass and Trail. Big farms like
the Grandin Stanford, near Kelso, were
wiped out.

The Fourth o! July was duly cele- brated in Tombstone as much AS con- di,ions would permit. fThe city was galy decorated in fisgs and bunting but the heavy rains from about l ?. m prevented any outdoor sports and also proved disastrous 10 all decorations. The firing Of bombs and fi-e-crackcrs nevertheless continued increasingly. and in the evening. when the rain stopped, the heavens were lit up with pyrotechnic displays from all parts of town. The rain put s dampener on many contemp plated events but did no, affect the patriotism of ou. citizens.
