Efforts Of a fireman at the White

he has received an increase in pay

Williams how he managed to keep going
on s1.75 a day. He replied:
The only way I do is to get out and
hustle. Oftentimes 1 can get a lot of
pipe covering to do. Now, at this time
of year, there is nothing doing. Last
summer I had FIVE launches to look after
and that helped along. My wife kept a
boarding house and broke her health
and now she is losing her eyesight and
she had to give 1t up, and that is a
great deal of expense. Many a time I
have left the White House at II o'clock

WIPED OUT. BY BAD TORNADO
Home and Crops on Farm Operated
By Ed FOsgate Are Totally
Destroyed.

Wiped out by a tornado and hail
storm which scattered their home over
the prairie, totally destroying their
2OO-acre grain crop and painfully in
juring them both, Mr.. and Mrs. Ed
Fosgate arrived Tuesday evening
from Berg, N. D., where they had op-
Grated the Inflated farm this sum-
mer. Mr.. Fosgate states his belief
that they both owe their lives to the
fact that they rushed from the house
a half minute before the tornado
struck with full force. 1t was part of
the storm which devasted large sec
ton of Dakota and Western Minneso-
ia last week.
AS the fury of the wind increased
to an SO-mile gale, Fosgate seized his
wife and rushed outdoors toward the
lee of the structure. They had only
gone few yards when the house
crumbled like an eggshell. The cou-
pie were torn apart and both thrown
to the ground, to which they no doubt
owe escape from serious injury by
flying timbers. Both were painfully
hurt, however, in being mauled about
by the wind and the heavy hail which
accompanied.
When the storm blew over, nothing
remained of the house but the floor
and that was moved bodily about 40
feet. Lumber, dishes, clothing, brok-
en- furniture and other articles were
scattered all over the place.
Strange freaks were played as in all
tornadoes. The house stood on lit
tie eminence. The barn was nearby,
but in hollow, and escaped unharm-
ed. A clarinet and violin owned bv
Fosgate were not even scratched,
while an accordion was ripped to piec-
es and watch put out of commission.
A small pet cat went through the tor
ma do and hail without hurt and was
brought here by the Fosgates. Mrs.
Fosgate suffered more than her hus-
band. Four sheds on an adjoining
place and the barn on another were
demolished. Crop prospects in the
entire strip visited had been good,
but are now a total waste. The Fos
gates expect to remain here over the
winter.
