WILD STORY FROM ABERDEEN
Loss Of Life Along the III. s. D. Placed
at Fifty

Aberdeen, S. D., wired morning pa
pers Of Minneapolis a vague and in
indefinite story Of fifty lives lost in the
storm not in Aberdeen and vicinity,
as would appear from the headlines,
but in all the territory between that
city and Minneapolis.
This report was no doubt based
upon early exaggerations of the loss
and damage along the H. & D. di-
vision Of the Milwaukee road. Early
today T h u r n a sought to OBJ
tain full details from it's correspond
ents at Aberdeen and intermediate
points, but owing to the crippled wire
service could not get it's managers
thru in time for earlier editions.
The gale followed a path a few
miles north Of the H. & D. division,
taking about the same track as that
of the fearful windstorm of four years
ago. It was felt at Aberdeen shortly
after 5 o'clock Saturday afternoon,
the wind registering sixty miles an
hour.
Telephone and telegraph wires con-
Meeting Aberdeen with the surrounds
ing country are down and it's esti-
mates of the damage are but mere
conjectures not substantiated by in
dividual dispatches from the country

capes.

wrecked. The parks sustained heavy
damage in the shape Of uprooted and
broken trees. and the damage to the
city streets from washouts. fallen
timbers and debris is enormous.
The semi-public institutions suffered
severely. st. Mary's Catholic church
and school, st. PauIs Episcopal
church, st. Siegfried's Episcopal
church and the Swedish church on
Payne avenue, are all wrecks, the lat
mitory at the House Of the Good
Shepherd was wrecked and one little
girl was kille dthere. The Catholic
and Protestant orphan asylums sus-
tanned considerable losses.
Two elevators were blown down at
the Minnesota Transfer, and several
manufacturing plants were damaged
in the Midway district. The loss sus-
tanned by the II. A. Muckle company is
estimated at $4,000. The business
district suffered heavily. Several
| wholesale houses and warehouses were
unroofed and hundreds of plate-glass
windows were blown in.
The loss to the street railway and
telephone and electric light and gas
companies was heavy, as street cal
traffic was suspended on many lines
yesterday. Wires were carried down
in every section Of the city, poles
were twisted off and lights broken into
bits. The damage Is, however, being
rapidly repaired and complete service
will be restored within a few days.

catastrophe due to the storm in the

THE TOTAL WRECKS FEW
But the Grand Total of Minor Losses Will Be Heavy Seventh
Denis. Bereft

Losses outside the business district
will amount to hundreds Of thousands
of dollars, but the grand total will
never be known, as, in hundreds of
instances, the damage is too small to
cause special comment. Turnout the
beautiful residence district of Mime
apolis can be seen the ruins of fine
shade trees, twisted and torn shrub
berry, badly damaged houses and
wrecked buildings. When it Is re-
membered that this district covers a
territory two-anda-half miles wide
by six miles long, an idea of the prop
erty loss can be obtained.
And yet this will only give a vague
idea Of the loss. For those who have
not seen for themselves, 1t is hard to
imagine the terrible devastation that
occurred in certain sections, as for in
stance in the vicinity Of Hennepin and
Lyndale, or at Park and Franklin
avenues There trees, chimneys, or
namental stone, church steeples, roofs
and window glass gave way before
the terrible fury Of the wind.
Some Bad Wrecks.
While large part of the damage
suffered outside the business district
was in the form of minor losses, yet
In several instances there was total

sages had to be sent by way of Winni-

Paul and Dayton's Bluff, a number Of
North American poles and wires fell
and caused most of the trouble for
the company. Today, normal business
was resumed.

SEVEN DEAD At
COUNTRY POINTS.
Continued From First Page.

So far as reported, the largest indi-
vidual loss from the wind alone was
that of Andrew Holtan, who lives
about five miles southwest Of Summit.
He had just completed a fine dwell
Ing, and this, with his large barn, was
demolished. Mr.. Holtan's little boy
was injured.
The home of C. H. Buck, southeast
of town, was wrecked and a boy had
leg broken and woman was badly
bruised. In Summit the damage was
confined to the wrecking of numerous
barns and other outbuildings and the
breaking Of windows.
The damage to crops by hail was
heavy, being the worst north and
northwest of town, where the grain
was pounded into the ground. In
other localities the loss will run from
rs to rs per cent. A large majority
of the hail losses are covered by some
insurance.

Frank zemans hotel and barroom
were sacked
Other damage In the town was
minor, altho the dismantling Of an
immense stack Of oat sheaves and Its
distribution in a great arc of the
worry to its owner. Shade trees were
broken off short and sugarcane, corn
and garden vegetables were ruined by
the heavy rain and accompanying
hail.
Across Stormy Lake.
DR.. Rankin, his wife, and DR.. Soper
were the heroes of the day. When
the call came from the Nelson family
for help, Mrs. Rankin roWed the doc
tor across the lake while the pillows
were still rolling dangerously high.
Altho communication with the world
was cut off, DR.. Rankin managed to
summon Coroner Soper from Cologne,
who, on fifteen minutes notice left for
the scene Of the disaster.
Cut His Way Thru.
The trip was a perilous one,
around dead cattle, trees across the
road and several barns blown directly
in the path. The doctor carried an ak
with which he cut the wire fences to
allow a circuit thru meadows. This
enabled him to circuit distractions
by going thru the meadows.
Alderman Larson Escapes.
Oscar E. Larson, alderman from
the ninth ward, got his family off the
Zeglin steamer before the storm
into a. cellar in time to avoid getting
struck. On board the steamer also
were Walter Hill, Theodore and Mrs.
Storrer, Mrs. ]. j. Esch, all of st.
Paul, and DR.. Clark Of Minneapolis.
Landed in Cemetery.
Albert G.. Klanke, brother Of the
editor of the Waconia Patriot and a
student in the law department Of the
state university, had the strangest ex-
perience. He left the railroad station
in the storm and in the thick of the
blow he lost consciousness. When he
woke up he found himself in the vii
lage cemetery seven blocks away.

Lightning's Damage.
Lightning hit in several places The
greatest damage was caused at the
avenue. A fire resulted which burned
part Of the upper portion OF the
magnificent residence and practically
destroyed all the contents. Many
smaller fires resulted from the storm.
The city was in an awful hubbub
after the storm. Hundreds Of men,
women and children were away from
their homes, and all feared their rela-
tons and friends were either dead or
their absence. All street car lines
were tied up. Telephone and telegraph
wires were down or connections had
been broken. The city had been set
back thirty years.
rush was made for livery stables,
and these We're soon depleted. Cab
bies hesitated to take fare, know
ing that live wires were down and
liable to be encountered in the dark
streets. Furthermore, the trees were
strewn so thick in many streets that
it was almost impossible to get thru
on foot or with a horse. The police
were busy notifying everybody to steer
clear of the live wires. Linemen got
busy, and as soon as they learned
where disconnections had been made
circuits were cut off.
Many men and women physically
unable to walk home sat in dark cars
in downtown streets until after day
light. Those who did walk home went
stumbling over trees and stepping into
cutters full Of water, and in some
places found sidew alks covered for
long distances-aH to the accompani-
ment of explanatory remarks that
might have offended the prudish, but
which echoed the sentiments of near
ly all who heard them Saturday night.
Yesterday all Minneapolis set out in
carriages, autos and afoot to see the
devastation.

getting together crews to aid the cars.
Fortunately the phones of the street
railway company were little damaged
by the storm; and by use Of these and
by messengers, some 200 men were at
work within two hours. These men
labored all night and all day Sunday
without any halt except for meals.
The hundred odd wiremen who were
engaged, hardly stopped even to eat,
all their meals being sent to them

Superintendent Krieger has not
closed his eyes since the storm, but
this afternoon has the satisfaction Of
knowing all the lines in Minneapolis
are again operating, the last being the
Cedar street line, which started this
noon. Along Cedar street, the street
car company suffered the most. For
seven blocks, between Fifth and
Franklin, the iron centerpoles holding
the power and trolley wires, were
broken by the weight of trees and
telephone poles which fell across
them.
On the Harriet line, the trouble was
