SEVERE STORM
LAST MONDAY
Cyclone Dem0lishes Big Barn al
Eagle Lake. Barns Moved
In Whitefield Township

Following the warm, sultry
weather Of last Sunday, this county
was visited by severe storm on
Monday morning. Considerable
damage was done to the brick yard
west of the city. A number Of
drying sheds were torn down and
the chimney on the residence was
blown off. A large number of un-
dried brick that had been left ex-
posed were ruined by rain. About
half a dozen telegraph poles be-
tween Willmar and Pennock were
broken off.
One of the features of the storm
last Monday morning was a cyclone
at Eagle Lake. It struck the Peder
Peterson place on the southeast
shore Of the lake and completely de-
molished the barn, a structure lax
% feet with 14-foot walls. The
wind was from the northwest and it
carried portions of the building for
long distance. scattering splinters
and debris over the prairie. It al
SO demolished machine shed and
ruined most of the farm machinery.
A corn crib was also demolished.
The windmill and engine house
were blown down and destroyed.
There were three men in the base
ment of the barn at the time-Pe-
der Peterson, his son P. w. who
runs the place, and John P. Ness,
an employe. The storm swept the
barn off, but the floor covering the
basement remained. which protect
ed the horses and the men. The
storm occurred about 6:30 O'Clock
a. m. The cyclone passed by the
house and the granary but did not
injure either. The son julius,
who is visiting at the parental home
with his wife and child, was on the
porch of the house at the time the
twister passed by. He saw the
twisting cloud and the destruction
Of the barn. 1t was over in two or
three seconds. A herd Of about
thirty cattle was in the barnyard,
but none were injured altho a num-

more county, after a few weeks
visit with many relatives here.
The frequent rains are very dis
couraging to our farmers. as it
makes effective work in the corn
fields impossible. Still we have
very much to be thankful for as
aside from the rain, we have not
had to put up with tornadoes, hail
storms, etc., which many around us
have suffered from. Many farmers
here are going more extensively in
to cattle raising and benefit there
by greatly, as grass does grow even
if it rains. The price Of cream for
the past few seasons gives reason
for keeping good milk cows, and
our farmers with large cream
checks coming in all the time are
not so dependent upon the fall crops
as the one who does not keep cattle.

much work is being done to assure
a good time for the people coming.

Big ASSEMBLY
BEGINS JULY 1
Arrangements For the Twelve
Day Gathering al Green Lake
Are Nearly Completed.

Lake begins Wednesday, July /, at
2:3O p. m. with grand opening
concert by all the musical talent
and dedicatory address by DR..
Geo. F. James Of the University of
Minnesota. In the evening there
will be concert by the Ladies'
Symphony Orchestra and an address
by Mr.. Writ Lowther. There will
be two full sessions with music and
lectures each day with special fea-
lures July 4th, Farmers Picnic
Day, Young Peoples Day and Tenn
perance Day.
The Auditorium that has just
been completed is the most modern
Chautauqua Auditorium in the
West. 1t is electrically lighted,
seated with good chairs, and with
all openings screened. The latter
is convenience and comfort of no
little Importance. 1t is favorably
located on the banks of Green Lake,
and the cool lake breezes will make
it comfortable place on the hot
test days. Neither effort nor ex-
pense has been spared to provide
for the pleasure and comfort of the
Chautauqua patrons.
Adjoining and directly to the
south of the Chautauqua grounds
are the camp grounds, fronted by
a beautiful sand beach. Tents and
camping outfits may be rented at
small cost and a real outing enjoyed
with unrivalled opportunities for
boating, bathing and fishing.
There will be ball games and sports
every day.
1t is difficult to overestimate the
value Of the Chuatauqua with it's op-
portunities for recreation, enjoy
ment, self-improvement and the
general benefits to body and mind
of invigorating outdoor life
and exercise. Everybody should
plan to take short vacation and
spend it at the Green Lake Chau-
tauqua.
Very few communities have the
privileges Of a Chautauqua, and
still fewer have such beautiful loca-
tion and surroundings as has the
Green Lake Chautauqua. Com e
and spend a few days on the beauti-
full lake, enjoy the inspiring and
instructive addresses and classes,
the excellent music and the pleas
ing entertainments. Following is
