TORNADO HITS ADRIAN
TWISTER MAKES THINGS LIVELY
IN THE MINNESOTA
VILLAGE
MANY BUILDINGS WRECKED
Damage Amounts to About $50, 900,
but No Lives Are Lost
Electric Wires All
Down.

ADRIAN. Mimi. June 11-At about 1
o'clock this morning this village was
struck by one of the heaviest tornadoes
that has ever visited Southwestern Min
nesota. The storm commenced with
light thunder storm, increasing in force
until the twister developed which did the
damage.
The first evidences of its work are IN
the west part of town, and it went direct
ly through the center of the city. TAX
ing a strip about 1900 feet wide Charles
Abbotts house, the first in the western
limits, was completely turned around.
From there to the Jones residence, about
900 feet, the wind took all the fences and
sidewalks and carried them for blocks.
The cupola on the Jones residence was
torn off, the roof partly carried away and
the barns and oUtbuiIdings al blown to
pieces.
At William Mars the house was con-
pletely unsided and unroofed ard his
barns turned upside down. Sam Jones
barn was blown over, killing his valuable
horse, and demohshing his new buggies
From there the storm took all the barns
and sheds with it until 1t reached Main
street, among them being the barns of
FaraSher Bros, w. Fitzpatrick and ".
H. Prdeaux and all other outbutdings
The big Klondike barn, 2GXlJ0 feet, was
moved about three inches on its founda-
ton
On Main street the storm first struck
the furniture store of George Lcgros and
the restaurant Of Mrs. Peterson, tearing
both fronts completely out and wrecking
the buildings. 1t then took the hardware
store of c.. A. Sands located across the
street, and completely mashed it to
pieces 1t blew in the fronts of the Esser
nSat market and Roerig's jewelry store
From there to the east part of town the
damage to houses, barns and other build
1ngs IS extensive and the town presents
a sorry-Iooking sight this morning.
The storm seems to have gone in sec
tlons as at the elevators parts on roofs
We're carried away, and at A. 8. Meac-
hams, half-mile north of lain street
the barn was blown into the creek. Tele-
phone and electric light wires are scat
tered promiscuOusly over the streets and
hundreds of big, fine shade trees are
PROSTATE.
This is Adr1an's first experience with a
tornado, and, although no deaths result
ed, there was at least $4,000 worth Of
damage done. The town is thronged with
sIghtseers from the adjacent country.
and all Is excitement

OLIVIA BANKER FAILS |
HANS GRONNERUD HAS REPORTED
LIABILITIES OF $I25,OOO
AND NO ASSETS
CREDITORS WANT MONEY
Farmers, widows and WOrI<ingmen
and Women the Ones Hit
Hardest by the
Failure

: OLIVIA, Mimi, June Hans Gron-
nerud, who has for forty years been one
of the most respected citizens of Rem
willie county and supposed to be worth q
FQuarter of a million dollars, has failed.
with reported liabilities amounting 70
$125,000 and seemingly no assets.
For many years he has been the owner
of the Bank of Beaver Falls and a heavy
Stockholder in the Morton bank and State
bank of Olivia, and the Renville County
Abstract company and has been engaged
in loaning trust funds for Wisconsin and
Eastern parties, as well as many other
people. The bank of Beaver Fails has
closed it's doors and depositors are clam
Oring for their money. Creditors from
other places are trying to locate their
Investments made through him, but
everything seems to be in a tangle, and
no one appears to know much about it.
Several experts are at work at his books,
and it is hoped that when all the facts
are known the loss will not be as great
as now reported.
Gronnerud left here several days ago,
saying that ne was going to some hot
springs in Indiana for his health, which
has been badly shattered for mere than
"a year, as a result of u stroke of apo
pleXy, received about a year and half
ago. For years he has been a public
IbenefactOr and an ardent friend of the
Door, ana HIS ITlcnUS CANNOT understand
what brought about his financial re-
verses. Many attribute it to ill health,
his inability to attend to business, and
but few charge him with dishonest mo-
Eives.
When the failure was made known at
Morton there We're few If any outside
the Cheney family who imagined the
magnitude of the failure. Facts and fig
Es G are coming in slowly, but enough
ls already known to show that the finan-
cial collapse of Mr.. Gronnerud is by far
the most disastrous Of any in the history
of Southern Minnesota. Widows, hired
girls farm hands and farmers are the
victims of the failure.
l.. Long before there was any suspicion
of Mr.. Gronnerud's financial embarrass-
ment d. D. Cheney, his business associ-
ute, accompanied by an attorney, spent
several days in Olivia, during which time
all the realities in the name of Gronnerud
were transferred to D. d. Cheney, all
.OJher creditors being ignored.
There is most likely to be a general up
rising among the creditors to contest the
right of Mr.. Gronnerud making the
.Cheneys preferred creditors.

CHICAGO, June IA special dispatch
to the Inter Ocean from Milwaukee says
that former Assemblyman Joseph r.

tendent of logging in the Indian service,
is stirring up hornets nest on the

and when Commissioner Jones at Wash
ington hears from him there is apt TO

dals that the government at Washing

Last winter Mr.. Farr, who rescaled In
dian logs in Minnesota, recovered for the
Indians 10000. Later ON the White
Earth representative of Capt Mercer, Of
Leech Lake agency, reported a cut Of
100000 to which the In1tans took ex-
ception, and Farr was ordered there by
the Indian commissioner. However, ac-
cording to the best Information obtain
able here, a concerted effort on the part
of the persons deeply interested was
made to keep him out, but he succeeded
in getting In and found in one camp
more unauthorized green timber cut than
Supt. Sullivan had reported on the en-
tire reservation
Mr.. Farr was in the city today, and
said he had been ordered from Washing

legged reason that a question had arisen
between the treasury depar ,ment and the
Indian Office as to who should pay the
expenses incurred.
