NORTH LAID WASTE
BY 4 TORNADO
Tremendous Damage and Proba bly,
Great Loss of Life.

st. Paul. Mimi, July 16.-Tremendous
life We're caused by a terrific wind
storm which last night swept in a
southwestern direction from the inter-
national boundary across the north
eastern portion of North Dakota. Three
towns. according to meager reports
which are Cbtainable at midnight, were
totally wiped out. Telegraph lines are
wrecked. and there is no communica-
ticn with the section where the most
serious devastation is thought to have
been worked by the tornado.
Tic little town OF Burup, on the St.
Nincent line OF the Great Northern.
is al absolute wreck. \ final report
last night was that the entire town
was wiped out and hardly Il structure
OF any SORT was lett standing. This
came from the Great Northern tele-
graph operator, who. after his Ciiice
had been laid fat. saved his key from
the ruins and tapped the wires at the
nearest available point. He also re-
ported The razing of a hamlet some
miles distant. with the destruction OF
= large amount Of property. From the
st Vincent branch came reports that
the towns OF FL Dorado, about seven
miles from Grand Forks, and Thomp-
son, between Grand Forks and Lari-
more. have been destroyed. AT Thomp-
son the Great Northern station lies in
a confused mass of Wreckage directly
across the main line. Stores and resi-
dercss are in ruins. but the main por-
ton of the Town is wiped out.

Mr.. Robbins of the Greene Consoli-
dated Copper company claims that this

company, having bought it from the
stockholders who pooled their stock.

| 100000 shares Of this stock is in liti-
! CATION, and that neither Hallenborg nor
! the Greene Consolidated can claim a
| clear title to it until the courts de-
cisiOn is returned. Mir. Robbins states
