SEVERE STORM
SWEEPS ST. PAUL
WIND. RAIN AND LIGHTNING
CAUSE MUCH DAMAGE IN
THE CITY.
STARTS fires

st. Paul, Aug. 20.-St. Paul was VS.
tied by an electric storm last emil
which for duration and intensity was
the most severe of the season. Three
buildings caught fire, but the damage
to these and other structures which
we're hit or felt the fury of the wind
were slight considering the intensity
of the storm. With the electric storm
there was a heavy downpour which at
fected traffic generally. A gale blew
in windows and tore down trees.
The storm was general, starting in
at Bismarck, N. D., in the morning
and reaching Duluth in full fury at
night. ST. Paul got the worst part OF
the storm shortly after 8 O'Clock. The
lightning display continued and there
we're heavy showers until after mid
night. The storm evidently spent its
force by midnight, passing to the
north, and the predictions were that
to-day will be cool and fair.
Frank T. Williams, government fore
caster, said that 1.21 inches of rain
fell from 1925 to 9:15 o'clock last
evening. No precipitation for the
twenty-four hours ending at 8 o'clock
was recorded, but considerable rain
fell after the gauge was read shortly
after 9 o'clock, and the total rainfall
must have aggregated two inches or
more.
Storm Damage.
The damage was principally in the
downtown district. The reports from
the outside districts indicated that on
ly trees and windows were affected.
The most serious damage was done at
Lemons clothing store. The wind and
rain tore the covering off the roof of
the library building and the rain ,eak-
ed through and made it's way to the
main floor of the. store.
The damage to the clothing stock
and building, it Is said. will be $4,000
to $4,000.
The limb of a tree that was being
hurled through the air struck the glass
showcase at the Seventh street en-
trance and shattered it.
The building occupied by Ogden,
Merrill & Greer, Sixth and sibley
streets, was struck and the brick from
the cornice was blown into the street.
Windows of several buildings in the
vicinity of Third and Wabasha streets
we're broken and signs and trees fell
before the storm. The street car serv-
Ice suffered from the floods which
swept down across low places, burying
the tracks with a bed of sand and de-
bris.
Minneapolis Also Suffered.
Minneapolis suffered as severely as
did st. Paul. Two persons were In.
jured and damage to the amount of
several thousand dollars resulted.
Tents belonging to the East Side Car
ntval company we're blown down and a
panic ensued among the 500 carnival
visitors. Only one person was in
jured. Several places we're struck by
lightning, but the loss was no heavy.
Damage in the business district was
general. Plate glass windows were
broken and signs were torn down.

outcome of the ball game between the
Newton and PIevna ball, teams at
Plevna on the oath. The score stood

when Plevna came to the bat in the
last of the ninth inning. Plevna had
two men on bases and two outs when
they kicked on a foul ball decision
by their own umpire who then for
feited the game to the Newton team

Blues it was simply batting bee in

game itself to the singing and cheering
