Ellis. Miller, who has been at
tending the University here for
the past few years, left for his
home at Leeds, N. D., Sunday.
He has accepted the position of
superintendent of the city
schools at Towper, N. ID. Mr..
Miller has made many friends
during his stay in the city who
will be glad to know that he
wes fortunate enough to step
into so good a position, which
he will undoubtedly fill to the
satisfaction of all concerned.
The storm felt here early
Sunday morning was undoubt-
edly the same one that struck
the twin cities and vicinity,
but it's force had been entirely
spent before reaching this dis
trict. The list of dead and in
jured from latest reports
shows a total of about eighteen
and property loss is estimated at
$3,OOO.O0O. It seems naericle
that there were not more lives
lost when one considers the
amount of damage done to
buildings.
