Storm Does Damage.

Shortly after eight o'clock on the
evening of July 5th Milbank was visited
by the heaviest rain of the season
accompanied by considerable wind
Quite crowd of people had gathered
in the John H. Sparks circus tent to
take in the evening performance. The
people had been requested to leave in
an orderly manner and most of them
had gotten out when the big tent was
blown down. A young son of Charles
Hamlin received bad cash on the
head necessitating seven stitches being
taken. j. H. Buns, operator at the
depot, also received cash on the head
and hled very freely, a couple of arteries
being severed. Three stitches were
required to close the wound. c. E.
Barnes, wife and child had a close call
the big center pole falling between
them, but they were not seriously hurt
Several others received scratches and
bruises but in majority of cases were
more scared than hurt Following the
accident the circus people lost no time
in getting under the fallen tent to aid
anyone who might be hurt and did
everything possible for the injured,
looking after their doctor bill etc. D.
A. Abbott very willingly opened up his
residence and had the injured cared for
there temporarily. In the excitement
several people lost their glasses, hats,
etc., but most of the articles were
covered.
Farther south the storm seemed to
strike with greater force that it did at
Milbank. At Watertown Ringing
Bros. circus was hit and part of the
big tent burned. One of the circus
hands is reported killed, being blown
from box car. At Revillo the front
of Peterson's store and of the butcher
shop were blown in, Borks big store
was unroffed, the Shampine, Parr, Ed
Spiering, Gearman and Bueitling barns
were wrecked and many chimneys
blown down. Nassau, Mimi, reports
$1,000 damagein town and several barns
in that vicinity wrecked. Marietta
reports some damage done practically
every business house. 1t seemed to
have the greatest force south of Revillo
and east into Minnesota and did much
damage to barns and other buildings in
the rural districts. Telephone lines
around Marietta and Madison, Mimi,
suff cred considerable and made reports
difficult to get.
The small grain was beaten down by
the rain and wind but as it is not heavy
is not going to suffer much damage in
respect. Further north it was lighter
and not much rain fell. Albee, though
close to Revillo, was not struck hard
and reports no damage done.

Aberdeen Saloon Men Win.

At Milbank Judge McNulty, of the
circuit court, denied the injunction of
Frank E. Granger proprietor of a
commercial school, asking the court to
close down six Aberdeen saloons on the
ground that they were within 800 feet
of his institution, and therefore pro-
hibited by the statute declaring saloons
shall not be permitted within 300 feet
of a public or private school. The
court decided the business college did
not come under the designation
intended by the statute. Mr.. Granger
will appeal the case to the state
supreme court.
