TORNADO HITS
HARTFORD
-FOUR MEN HURT AND LIGHT
PLANT DEMOLISHED WHEN
STORM STRIKES.

Remarkable for its s~uddenness OF
attack, a tornado late yesterday aft
ernoon hurled its fury in the town
OF Hartford, about t~hirty-five miles
southeast Of this city. wrecking the
new town electric lighting plant there
and seriously injuring four men.
News of the storm was brought TO
Madison in dispatches and by per
sons who passed through Hartford
this morning. The men injured
were
John Wilder. retired farmer. arm
and leg crushed and body bruised.
ole Brunsdahl. superintendent of
the lighting plant. injured about the
head and body.
Emil Carlson Of Sioux Falls. prob
ably fatally hurt by being buried be
meath the w~reckage. Carlson's head
and body were badly bruised and in
ternal injuries are feared. He was
unconscious when found. and il re-
ouired nearly two hours to revive
him.
Slight injuries were sustained by
O Betterhouse. a laborer of Cotton.
The lighting plant was of brick
and was just being completed at a
cost OF about $4,000. II will be nee
essary TO reconstruct almost the en-
tire plant.
A gale which quickly assumed the
proportions of a cyclone. came from
the southwest and was accompanied
by a heavy fall of rain. IT struck
with its full force shortly before 5
o'clock.
A strange coincidence is the fact
that practically no damage was done
TO other buildings in the vicinity,
even frail frame structures with
standing the blast.
An early report that one man had
been killed i'm the storm could not
be confirmed today.

WINTER MORNING
MADISON PEOPLE FOUND SNOW
ON THE GROUND THIS
MORNING.

Numbers who were beguiled by
this mornings bright suns rays into
starting down town without taking
extra p%recaution against the raw at
m%osphere, generally travelled very
short distances before %retracing their
steps to don the overcoat they had
hoped to keep from bringing into
general use for a considerable time.
1t was the first really biting" cold
morning Of the season. While Their
mometers registered only about 29
degrees above zero a brisk wind from
the northwest added sufficiently to
the discomfort to make it appear that
the tiny shafts of mercury had en-
tered into a pact with Old Sol to de-
ceive the nan or woman who must
hurry down town to work.
Although it had been predicted by
weather forecasters, the sudden drop
in temperature and accompanying
snow furry came as a surprise to
many. Rain which fell yesterday
afternoon froze or walks, rendering

AUTOMOBILE TRAVEL
TRAVELLING Statesmen INTIMATE
THAT THEY WILL LAY UP
THEIR CARS FOR THE
SEASON.

The automobile as a means OF gen.
eral conveyance for travelling sales
men who cover this territory in mo-
tor cars during a large part of the
year, is practically a thing of the
past for the season of 1915. Com
mercial men, some of whom arrived
by auto today, predicted that last
nights cold snap had sounded the
death knell of the regular road car
for the year, and that the present
week would probably find most of
the gasoline buggies driven by trav-
elers housed in winter quarters.
While there is no record of the
number of transients who regularly
visit the city in cars, it is estimated
that at least thirty drummers who
include Madison in their list of calls,
travel entirely in machines during
good weather. The number who do
not depend upon train service for
getting from town to town, after
about the middle of April and until
the first of November is increasing
every year, it is said.
Two travellers who drove over
frozen roads this forenoon expressed
a wish that they had left their cars
at headquarters. They say, however,
that under ordinary conditions they
will make many trips between towns
this year in local livery autos, which
will remain In service as long as the
weather permits.
