Infant Tornado Strikes City

About six-thirty last Friday eve
ming, following a sultry afternoon,
a terrific wind sprung up from the
southwest and "twister" formed
near Cascade ave. and South Main
street, and, following q north and
easterly course down toward Oak
street, and through over to Third,
created quite bit of havoc along
it's path. In Vic Scott's yard it up
rooted a tree and spilled loose lum-
Der around promiscuously; a num-
Der of tubbs in Frank Armbruster S
back yard were distributed through
the neighborhood; portion OF the
Consolidated Lumber Co.'s fence
was fattened onto the ground; at
Everett Fuller's house the wind
played a most peculiar trick, taking
lady's cloak out through an open
window and hanging it up in near
by tree.
The roar of the tornado could be
heard for many miles and it caused
a great deal of apprehension during
its progress through the city. That
it caused no more destruction is
robably due to the fact that it
didn't get long enough sweep, or
start, before striking the city.

The local high school team drove
to Hudson yesterday afternoon and
played the high school of that city,
losing by the close margin of to 8.
The game was loosely played
throughout. The River Falls boys
were especially weak in the matter
of keeping alive to the progress of
the game, allowing Hudson two or
three scores just by holding the ball
and not playing it in ahead of a
runner when there was lots of time
to head him off. They have got to
get into the habit of using little
head-work, thinking out the play
ahead, and get out of the notion
that there is nothing more to the
game than the mere stopping OF
grounders" and catching flies.
River Falls high will play Prescott
high here next Saturday afternoon,
the game to start at 2:30.
