PuKwANA BRAVES TORNADO.
Town North of Gregory County RI
builds After Tornado.

Sioux Falls, S. D., July 23.-Special
to The News: Arrivals from Pukwa-
ma, the thriving little town in the cen
ter of Brule county, which was prac.
tically destroyed by tornado little
more than two weeks ago, report that
it is quite rapidly recovering from
the calamity and that the new Puk-
wana which is being erected on the
ruins of the old will be larger, more
extensive and better than the old. A
small army of men is engaged in the
work of rebuilding the town. In all
directions the sound OF the hammer
and the saw can be heard.
1t has been decided that both the
Methodist and the Catholic churches,
which We're reduced to kindling wood
by the tornado, will be rebuilt at
onuce. The Catholics were fortunate
enough to have had tornado insur-
ance to the amount of $4,000, but the
Methodist church was a complete loss
except the lumber that can be saved
from the wreCkage. More than $500
already has been contributed toward
the fund for the building of a new
Methodist church, and it is thought
the building can be built and dedi
Gated free from debt.
The valuable fixtures and furniture
in the Catholic church were not Gov
cred by insurance. thus leaving the
society with marginal loss of about
81 900. Nearly $500 of this was raised
in one evening among visitors who
were in Pukwana. 1t is the intention
of the trustees to raise the balance
without soliciting contributions from
any of those who were financial suf
ferers from the tornado. Men already
) have been set at work clearing away
the wreckage preparatory to the com
, mencement of the work OF erecting
! the new edifice to take the place OF
the wrecked structure.
The task of rebuilding the town is
a tremendous one, but the residents
have taken hold with a will and are
determined that the new Pukwana
shall be a town of which all can be
proud. In the work of rebuilding
many of the business men are demon
strating that when occasion requires
they can grab a pick and shovel, &
hammer and crowbar or saw ant
