Damage by the Storm.

An ominous looking cloud appearing
in the west last Saturday afternoon
caused many to be apprehensive of
repetition of last summers terrible
storm, but it passed over doing but
little damage so far as we can learn
aside from the destruction by fire of
all the buildings on the r. M Thom-
son farm just west of town. Early
during the storm, lightning struck the
barn and as this building was connect
ed with the silo, machine sheds, ETC.,
the destruction was complete and that
the residence is standing is due to the
direction of the wind and the down
pour of rain.
Fortunately all the stock was in the
pasture, but good deal of machinery
was destroyed, it being possible to
run out little save binder.
The loss will approximate $4,000 and
against this about $4,000 will be re.
covered in insurance carried in com.
pany for which John Steinman is the
agent.

Cresco Divides Games with Charles
and Loses to Harmony.

THE FIRST GAME WITH CHARSES CITY
Much praise and gratitude is due our
friend Torrey. Having voluntarily of
fered his service he added more luster
to the fame of Cresco, and he will live
in the memory of his Cresco friends.
His work would have done credit to a
major league team-allowing but three
hits and tanning eleven.
The game was greatly appreciated
t,y those who attended and indeed a
treat. Excitement and plenty of in
side baseball characterized the strife.
Twice did Charles City attempt the
squeeze play and twice was it frus-
trated by their opponents. MANY admir-
ers of baseball declared it one of the
best games played on Cresco soil. The
work of CT Green for the opponents
did credit to the Charlie Toys. His
handling of the spit ball together with
his baseball brains kept the Cresco
batters safe in:pinches.
One score was all that was needed to
assure victory and this came in the
fourth inning on Adams double,
Dougherty $, ,saritice, Hills timely single
between third and short. Againin in the
eighth, on Dougherty's triple and Hill's
single, another tally was added.

OBITUARY.
SHIELDS.

Christopher Shields, one of Howard
county's oldest settlers, passed away
at the home of his sister in Cresco, on
Sunday, June goth, 19O9 at the age of
81 years.
Deceased was born in Kings county,
Ireland, where he lived and grew to
manhood, and learned the trade of a
plasterer and mason. In 1857 he came
to America and worked for time at
his trade in New York and other east
ern cities, later coming west to Rock
ford, ILL.,, and to Howard county, when
he bought from the government the
farm in Howard Center where he has
since resided. At the time the land
Office was at Usage, and during the
succeeding years, he has witnessed the
change of his land from wilderness
to home for himself and his family.
In 1870, at Rockford, ILL.,, he was
married to Elizabeth Connolly and to
them nine children were born, two of
whom with the wife and mother pre-
ceeded him to the better land. The
surviving children are Mary E. Shields,
Mrs. James Shea, Joseph, Charles and
James of Howard Center, and Eliza
beth and Christopher w. of Rochester,

loss, one brother, Lawrence Of Rock

bingle. Cresco scored their other two
tallies in the eighth when Burke was
passed and on Bradley's single he took
third. In double steal Burke was
safe at home and Bradley reached
third. The last tally came when
Shook hit the grandstand with Brad
ley on third base. That unfortunate
sixth inning was all that saved Charles
City. Davis the first man up singled
and reached second on Reeme's sacri-
fee. Garzee was then given a walk
and he and Davis moved up to second
and third on Burke's pass ball. With
but one man down the infield came in
to get the man at home. Crane then
grounded to Sanders and the man on
third was run down for awhile but
succeeded in scoring on wide throw
by Sanders to Burke, and the ball being
blocked the man on second was per-
mitted to score. Then the next four
batters got safe hits and the game was

A Former Cresco Boy Married.

That prince of good fellows, public
spirited citizen and enterprising busi-
ness man, Ingwald S. Steensland, has
deserted the ranks of the bachelors and
is now partner in one of the most
promising matrimonial firms that have
been formed in this locality in many
moons. The bride is Miss Anna Soren-
son of Redfeld, S. D., a charming ard
accomplished young lady who during
her occasional visits to Hutchinson has
acquired here many admiring friends.
The ceremony was performed by Rev.
w. c. Hodgson at the home of the
brides aunt, Mrs. Soren Sorenson,
Wednesday at high noon. The couple
entered the parlor to the music of Men
delssohn's wedding march played
by Miss Gladys Sauter and took their
places under an arch of evergreens and
white carnations. The bridesmaid was
Miss Ruby Luckman; best man, Martin
Sorenson. The bride was attired in
going away gown of blue. The room
decorations were ferns and roses and
white carnations. Only near relatives
and friends of the happy couple were
present, among them being the brides
father and mother, Mr.. and Mrs. Sam
uel Sorenson of Redfeld, S. D., and
the groom's father, X. X. Steensland
of Cresco, Iowa. The groom was sus-
tained during the blissful ordeal by his
personal friend, Geo. r. Kasson. Num-
erous presents, chiefly of silver ware,
were bestowed At the close of the
ceremony the wedding party were
served with refreshments on tables ell
egantly spread After the repast was
finished the bride and groom entered a
waiting carriage and were driven
not to the station but to Brownton to
take the train for wedding trip of
three or four weeks down the lakes,
stopping at Chicago and Milwaukee
and then to the groom's old home in
Cresco, Iowa, thus neatly giving the
enthusiastic throwers of rice and aged
footwear the slip. Hutchinson Leader.

THE GAME AT HARMONY

The work of the Cresco team on last
Sunday against the Harmony team did
anything but bring credit to her re-
nown. At no part of the game did
Cresco have chance to nose out their
while the Harmony men
scored in punches. To speak of seven
errors together with nine timely hits
tells of the defeat i'm brief.
Harmony started their run getting
in the very first inning. Hits by Lang,
Blexrud and Broken, coupled with
errors by Adams, Sanders and Swain
netted three runs. In the seventh in
ming they added three more tallies on
three hits and just as many costly
errors. Cresco's only score came in
the eighth on singles by Blake and
Sanders. With Blake on third and
Sanders on first the double steal was
played and Blake was safe at home
and Sanders reached second in safety.
The feature of the game was Blex-
rud's pitching. Harmony was very
fortunate in securing such an ideal
twirler. His knowledge of the game
with his handling of the curves is not
surpassed by many. Without such a
custodian the Harmony boys would be
helpless. The score:
