Our recent cyclone which formed
about five miles south of here near

completely destroyed the large base
ment barns of G. Luros and X. Sever
sons. A new unused surrey of Mr..
Severson's was a wreck, Mr.. Neish-
ANS. house partly damaged. G.. N.
Fawcetts buildings except house torn
| to fragments and about twelve loads
! of heavy timber scattered for half a
mile. On Nels Larsen's out build
ings, machinery and trees it had no
mercy. Here it seemed to gain
strength from the creek. AT j. Sell
mes it demolished house, barns, wind
mills and everything III it's path.

hurt and we learn it killed four at
