The people of this vicinity were
awakened about 2 o'clock Thursday

siderable damage was done to out
buildings, trees, windmills, etc. The
school building had part of the roof
on the southeast corner torn off, al
so the chimney, the brick falling
through, and damaging the plaster
in the upper room; at Will Schultz
and Oliver Sheggrud's their garages
were blown over and their autos bro
ken somewhat. Some other buildings
were blown over and COW hurt by
being struck by falling timber at
Will Schultz's. Several buildings
were blown over at Joe Mcdonald s

Schultz seems to be very unfortunate
as his barn and number of other
buildings were torn to pieces by the
hard storm of June 18th.
