ALL WINDOWS IN BUILDINGS
WITH WEST AND SOUTH Ex-
POSTURE BROKEN.
MANY PERSONS ARE INJURED
CROPS IN THE RED RIVER VA.
LEY MAY HAVE SUFFERED
DAMAGE.

GranO folks, N. H., June ~. - Inc
most terrific hailstorm that ever Wis
tied North Dakota broke over Grand
Forks at noon yesterday. and in the
fifteen minutes in which hail fell it is
conservatively estimated that to the
city property damage of about $25, 900
to $4,000 was done.
Reports show that the hail strip
centered over the city and did not ex-
tend but a short distance outside the
city limits. but so far no reports have
been received from Minnesota along
the Red river north. and it is believed
that much damage was done in that
section. At University. a mile west OF
this city, no hail fell. and but little fell
east of East Grand Forks. Merrificld,
six miles south, and Marvel, nine
miles north, were not visited, but re-
ports from points in all directions
from Grand Forks indicate that
heavy rain fell during the afternoon.
Windows Shattered.
The greatest damage in the city was
done to buildings with south and west
exposures, and there is Eot whole
pane of glass on these sides of any
buildings except such as were pro-
tected by screens. Sixty-eight street
lights were demolished, and the city's
streets were dark last night. Nearly
200 windows in cars in the Great
Northern yards were broken.
Scores Were Injured.
There were no fatalities. but scores
of people were injured, some by hail
and others by flying glass.
The Hotel Dacotah, the st. John
block, the Y. M. c. A. building, all the
churches and the public school build
ings suffered much damage from brok-
en- windows and skylights. The tor
rents of water that poured through
windowless buildings added to the
damage. Hail stones were as large as
hens eggs and many as large as base
balls. They were irregular and jagged
in shape. Numerous runaways added
to the disorder due to the storm.
The Sells circus parade had just
reached the tents on it's return when
the storm struck. and there was
scene of wild disorder. thousands hav-
ing gathered for the exhibition. Hail
tore through the canvas of the tents,
and all but one were badly damaged.
Lose 10000 Acres of Grain.
Redwood Falls, Mimi, June 29.-As
reports come in from the different Sec
tons of Redwood county relative to
the damage done by the storm of last
Saturday they warrant the statement
that over 10000 acres of growing grain
wheat, oats, flax, corn, etc.-were
pounded into the ground on that day.
The storm was not confined to any
particular point, but seems to have
landed in four distinct localities-in
the southwest, southeast, northeast
and central portions of the county. At
places the hail not only absolutely de-
stroyed all vestiges of The growing
crops, but also cut down the grass
growing around the large sloughs of
the county, on which farmers depend
largely for their hay.
