FREAKlSH HAIL
DOES A STUNT
Does a Hop, Step and Jump Act
Across Country.
Lights Hardest on Three Counties in Sout
Dakota-Dickey County Farmers Suffer
Partial Losses.

The severe rain storm which passed
over this section last Thursday morn
ing, was streaked with hail. Reports
began to come in about noon that the
hail struck this side of Yorktown and
followed in northeasterly direction
towards Glover. The losses reported
are as follows:
L. ]. Nichols, $50 acres; Swan John
son, 125 acres; Gus Strutz, 200 acres;
c. M. Stevens, 100 acres; Gus Gross
hans, 80 acres; Phillip Kraft, 100 acres;
Swan Anderson, 100 acres; Otto Lindell,
100 acres; VIM. Uecker, 200 to 300
acres; Paul Hample, 100 acres; Henry
Gronbeck, so acres; E. P. Miller, Is
acres; Erick Holmes, Chas. Danielson,
John Kahl and Carl Nelson, about $50
acres each.
The losses are only partial with the
exception of Mr.. Uecker, whose loss is
reported as total. Most of the farmers
had about two-thirds of their grain
harvested, and in the shock, and the
only serious loss was to the standing
grain. The damage is estimated from
one-third to one-half.
From reports the hail started on this
side of the Missouri river in South
Dakota. Heavy losses occurred in Nc
Pherson, Compbell and Walworth coun-
ties. 1t then came in a northeasterly
direction, striking across Yorktown and
Clement townships in Dickey county.
It then took jump and landed rather
heavily on the farming section between
Crete and Lisbon. In Ransom county
the damaged belt was about four miles
wide and eight long. Crops there are
said to be totally wiped out.
It is indeed too bad that this hail
came, just as our best crop. was being
garnered. But perhaps our farmers
can congratulate themselves that the
storm struck here the lightest.

A cyclone Tuesday evening, following
slight hail storm passed a half mile
south of Cogswell and struck the farm
buildings of John McGraw. This farm
was rented by o. G. Adams, and at the
time the storm struck the house,
Mr.. Adams, wife and two children,
and Pat. O'Brian were in the house.
The building with all it's occupants was
carried away some seven or eight rods
from its original location, where the
house collapsed, but fortunately no one
was seriously hurt.
Hail did some damage to houses in
town, breaking many windows.

Near Saltwater. MINI.

of Harold Bergendahl of Glendale,
which happened on the day previous.
Harold has been working in Mime
apolis this summer and on Saturday
joined . camping party of his Uni
versity friends at Lake Elmo, sum-
mer resort about seven miles from
Saltwater, MINI.
Early Sunday morning he and a
companion rowed out in a boat to bathe
and both dived off. When Harold came
up he swan toward the boat, but
when within a short distance of it ex-
claimed to his companion, 81 can't
make it,, and went down. He did not
come up again. If he had risen to the
surface even once he would have been
saved as his bathing companion was at
arms length. The water where they
were swimming is from SO to Is feet
deep and it is probable that on reaching
the bottom in an unconscious condition
he clutched either stones or weeds
with his hands which held him under.
The body was in the water thirty-ive
hours before it was recovered.
The first news of the sad accident
was received at Glendale early Sunday
morning, by telephone from Will Leffek
formerly of Glendale but now located
at Saltwater near where the accident
occurred.
Harold's mother and sister were in the
country when the sad news were first
chOnicled. H. H. Perry, editor of the
Record, who is a relative of the de-
ceased, left Monday morning to accom-
8pany the remains back to Glendale.
The remains arrived yesterday fore
noon, and funeral services were held in
the afternoon at two O'Clock from the
Presbyterian church at Glendale, which
was attended by a very large cortege of
mourning friends. The remains were
laid at rest in the family lot in the Ell
lendale cemetery.
Harold Bergendahl was one of the
most popular young men of this county.
He had just turned his majority, having
been born on April q, 1884. In 1900 he
graduated from the High school at Ell
lendale and for the past three years has
been student in the Electrical En-
gineering Department of the University
of Minnesota. He lacked but one year
of completing the course and was put
ting in this vacation at his trade in
Minneapolis. Harold's disposition was
such as made him a multitude of
friends. He was brave, frank and
manly always; but those traits were
coupled with gentility, courtesy and
graciousness.
There was not boy or girl for whom
he had not always a pleasant word;
there was not man or woman who
knew him that was not proud to count
him their friend and not one of these
but mourns his untimely end.
Harold leaves mother and sister
both Of Glendale, his father having
died little more than five years ago.

Prize Shoot.

The Oakes Gun Club had prize sho 1T
last Monday afternoon on the grounds
east of town, and was witnessed by a
large crowd. The prize being a fine
new Winchester repeating rifle, and
was captured by Chas. L. Marshall.
1t was a handicap shoot, but the
scores given are the actual records
without reference to the handicaps.
George Wilson, who has the best aver
age for the season, was taken as
"scratch man," and others were al
lowed handicap Of from three to ten.
The boys were nervous at the thought
of that new gun, and all but Shabino,
Marshall and Young shot under their
usual scores.
It was a so target event and the
scores made above IS were as follows:
Chas. L. Marshall, 46; George Wilson,
40; Lewis Shabino, 3S; A. j. Young, 36,
and j. C. Coulter, 36.
The club will probably pull off another
prize shoot tomorrow afternoon.

MADE SOME EASY MONEY.
Red River Valley Man Is Pleased
With His Dickey County


Grand Forks Herald:-A. McCallum
finds himself ahead of his reckoning
by q thousand dollars or so. He re-
turned yesterday morning from a trip
to Dickey county to look at a quarter
section of land which he had never seen
before. He came home wearing smiles
out of every corner of his mouth. He
came into possession of the land as an
investment some two years ago. The
land was rented last year and being
farmed somewhat indifferently did not
yield very large revenue. This year
he neglected to make arrangements for
renting it until too late. He has had
several inquiries about the land as to
whether he cared to sell it and what
his price was, and concluded to take
look at it. He was somewhat surprised
on arriving at the place to find a man
at work with four horses and binder
cutting wheat that was almost as high
as he was. A little inquiring revealed
the fact that the harvester was the
man who rented his place last year and
who had taken it for granted that in
the absence of notice to the contrary,
he could have it again this year on the
same terms. He was perfectly willing
to make satisfactory settlement for
the use of the land on the usual terms
and also offered Mr.. McCallum 81 900 in
cash and mother good quarter of land
for the farm. The offer was declined,
as Mr.. McCallum considers the land
more valuable than he supposed it was,
as it is turning out 80 bushel crop of
wheat, and No. hard at that.
