Storm at Hopkins.
At Hopkins, but two miles away,
the property loss was fully as great
but the storm spent nearly all its force
on the plant of the Minneapolis
Threshing Machine company. No one
was killed and but two persons We're
injured. These only received slight
injuries.
The actual damage to the plant Of
the threshing machine company was
heavy: The steel roof of the main
building was raised up and the brick
side walls blown in. In several places
the roof was curled up and bent into
fantastic shapes.
Two sheds, each 100 feet long, were
picked up and carried across the rail-
road and the pieces scattered over. the
field. The threshing separators and
other farm implements were blown
against each other and crushed. In
several places four and five of the
monster machines were piled up to-
| gether. Few Of them can be repaired.
The damage will not interfere with
the company's business in any way, as
the manufacturing portion of the plant
| started up as usual this morning.
The town itself does not look sc
desolate as the other suburbs, and save
/ for a few overturned houses and one
badly damaged business block, every.
thing can be repaired quickly.
