STORM DAMAGE
AT MANTADOR
AZ Told BY the Enterprise OF that
Town In It's Last Weeks
Issue
DARKNE S. ALMOST TOTAL
Big Stampede Among the Hundred
or More Horses on Key
stone Farm

MantadOr Enterprise
The storm Saturday afternoon,
did considerable damage in this
town and the country north of
here. In town the following
buildings-all new-were COM
pletely wrecked: Lawrence Beck
er's pool hall. Nothing is left
OF this building except the foun-
dation and the floor. The pool
table was left standing on the
floor uninjured except from the
rain following the storm. The
new blacksmith shop of JOS. Ad-
emic was torn to pieces, portion
of which went through the large
window in the rear of the Farm
ers' State Bank. A barn at the rear
of Biegel's store was twisted ali
out OF shape as was also the
large new livery and feed barn
just put up by Aug. Weber. This
latter building was taken off its
foundation about twenty feet, and
there isn't a square corner in the
building, and will, probably have
to be rebuilt.
A few cement blocks on the
upper corner on the front of
Bakken Bros. Garage were blown
down, but the damage there is
comparatively small.
The storm caused considerable
fear among the residents of the
town, for. with the clouds of dust
and sheets of rain, nothing could
be seen, putting the town in al
most total darkness, and this at
four O'Clock in the afternoon. The
people heard the storm tearing
and throwing whatever became
loose. against buildings, and each
one thought his turn came next.
There was very little hail in
Mantador, but a few miles north
the damage by hail was complete,
in many instances. to grain in the
shock as we'll as that not yet cut,
and to maany buildings.
AS an example of the Manta-
dor spirit. the individuals suffer-
ing loss of buildings will begin at
once the erection of new ones in
their place.
,, The storm raised havoc among
the hundred or more horses that
were in use on the Keystone farm
for when the hail commenced to
strike them thew became unman-
ageable and ran away, breaking
many OF the wagons, and injur-
ing several horses, some of which
had to be killed on account Of
broken legs and other injuries re-
ceived.
The day following, Sunday,
hundreds of people from the sur
rounding country and towns came
| to Mantador to view the destruc-
ton. many of whom made their
first visit to this enterprising lit
tie town, and were surprised al
the determination to let not even
such a catastrophe deter them
from pushing Mantador to the
front.

Editor Wahpeton Times:
In regard to the item about me
copied into your paper last week
from the Breckenridge Telegram
I wish only to say in justice. to
myself that l am not guilty of
any connection with the outrage
charged. Unnecessary. I could
prove my Innocence. Neither is it
true that Swanson said he would
take the matter before the grand
jury. The editor of the Telegram
is simply nursing an old grudge
and exhibiting his sores through
the columns of his paper.

They Are HARD TO FIND

A Washington dispatch says
that U. S. Minister Stovall, at
Berme, Switzerland, is experience
ing much difficulty in finding
hundreds of Americans for whom
inquiry has been made through
the state department. The minis
ter is not permitted to use the
telephone and telegraph, and
when inquiry is made for an Am
erican he must employ a mcssen-
ger.
Just as fast as Americans are
registered in one place." stated
Mr.. Stovall, They move into an

The minister also mentioned
difficulties encountered in learn
ing what trains departing tour
lists had taken. His reports, how
ever, show that, Notwithstanding

cans are slowly making their way

FRACTURED WRIST

When Mrs. Frank Kotchian was
going over the rural mail route
with their auto she met with an
accident that might have proven
more serious than it did, but as
it was she suffered the fracture of
her right wrist. When near the
Williams farm six miles south of
] idgerwood, she let go the steer
ing wheel to fasten her hat, when
the car left the road and plunged
down a grade.

AUTO STRUCK BY TRAIN
John Carter and Dave Ogilvie
Have Narrow Escape

John Carter, Dave Ogilvie and a
sheep shearer by the name of Cook
had a very narrow escape from be-
ing killed by S. P. train No. 20 this
morning at the crossing near the
Western Pacific roundhouse. Mr..
Carter was taking a bunch of sheep
shearers to his South Fork ranch
in two automobiles. He was driv-
ing along in the dust of the ma
chine ahead with no thought of q
train and was near the crossing
when he saw the train coming a
short distance away at a lively
rate. He stopped as quick rs he
could, but the front part of his
car had crossed the first rail and
the engine struck it leaving it by
the side of the track in a badly
dilapidated condition. Mr.. Ogilvie
and Cook jumped before the engine
struck the car and escaped injury.
Mr.. Carter was thrown between
his car and the train, but saved
himself from being thrown On the
track by catching hold of the side
Of his a and holding on with all
his strength. AS he struck the
III found the current of air raised
by the passing train forced his feet
under his wrecked machine. He
was so close to the track that the
engine struck one Of bis legs below
the knee slight; bruising il and
every ear of the train brushed bis
roat.
Mr.. Carter and Mr.. Ogilvie say
that the whistle did not blow nor
the bell ring as the train appr aeh-
ed the crossing. The trainmen
claim, however, that the whistle
was blown. The train was stopped
rs soon as possible and backed up
to the crossing. The trainmen took
the names Of the party to send
them to headquarters.
Mr.. Carter informed us that
about all that was left of his ma
| chine was the hind wheels. He will
put in a claim to the company for
damages.
