aid necessary to the suffering.
The storm at Valley City consisted
of heavy electrical display.
Six people were hurt at the fair
grounds, but at the time of going to
press it was impossible to learn their
names.
The planning mill near the round
house was also partially destroyed.
Late reports from Ypsilanti are to
the effect that two men succombed
to their injuries and that the condi-
ton of Mrs. Graves was so serious
| that her death was expected at any
| minute.
The cyclone demolished everything
at the fair grounds, even taking the
fences and depositing them on the
other side of the river.
The storm did not reach Buchanan
| and there are no reports Of any dam
age being done north of the city
along the river.
At this time it is impossible to as
certain the loss to property interests
caused by the storm:
The Associated Press dispatches
say:
jamestown, N. D., May 29.-This
city and Ypsilanti, village thirteen
miles south of here, were visited by
a terrific wind and rain storm this
afternoon, which turned into cy-
clone near Ypsilanti, causing the
death of at least three persons and
damaging property to the extent of
many thousands of dollars.
The farm home of George Graves,
near Ypsilanti, was blown into the
James river, and Mrs. Graves and her
two young daughters we're killed. The
cyclone demolished all the buildings
of the jamestown Fair association,
wrecked part of the Russell Miller
Flour mill and destroyed large part
of the Northern Pacific round house,
burrying number Of locomotives
beneath the debris and injured sew
eral Italians who sought safety from
the storm in the round house.
The cyclone followed the James
river the entire distance from Ypsil-
anti destroying many farm buildings
and damaging other property. The
loss to the jamestown Fair associa-
ton is $4,000 and the loss in Stuts-
man county will aggregate the same

Fargo, N. D., May 29-The. rain
which fell in Fargo this morning was
only small portion OF a great rain
which swept the entire Mississippi
valley states, from the Canadian Dor
der to Arizona.
In some places the rain approached
the proportions of cloudburst, the
heaviest rain being in North Dakota.
This morning Weather Observer
Grasse of Moorhead received tele-
prone communication from Hillsboro
stating that six inches Of rain fell
in that vicinity from to 8 o'clock
this morning. This wass certainly a
tounpour when it is considered that
only 81 of an inch Of rain fell at the
Moorhead observatory. :,
The Red river valley is the Aenter
of this series Of storms. Here the
barometer was the lowest recorded.
This is the cause of the ''sticky". at
nosphere which made it uncomfor-
table this morning. IL
Accompanying these rains was q
high wind, which in places reached the
velocity of gale, although no serious
damage from wind storms has been
reported in this section, with the ex-
ception of a slight damage to tele-
graph and telephone wires. %%
While the ground was in good con-
dition prior to this last precipitation,
the rain which fell last night and this
morning viii be very beneficial to the
crops. As growing weather the past
few days has been unexcelled, prom
ises of good crops in North Dakota
and surrounding territory are being
made. q
