CITY AND VICINITY
VISITED BY HIGH WIND.

A high wind of no small propor-
tion blew over this section of the
state, Thursday morning at about
nine o'clock and did a considerable
amount of damage. The wind des-
troyed hundreds of trees and also
razed several small buildings on the
neighboring farms. At the fair
grounds in this city a great deal Of
damage was done. The roof of the
large grand stand was lifted off and
was landed a distance of about a
hundred yards from it's former To-
cation. The grand stand proper was
moved off it's foundation a. little over
a foot. A section Of the stock barn
was also blown over. The roof was
blown off the large horse barn be-
linging to the C. l.. Spaulding farm.
At the Snake River farm, owned by
Andrew Melgard, the wind wrought
havoc with the buildings. With the
exception Of two or three structures
on the farm all the rest were dam
aged to some extent by being moved
off their foundations.
In and around Crookston consid-
cradle more damage was done. The
elevator at Shirley was blown over
and totally destroyed. Many silos
and outbuildings were destroyed and
the damage in the Immediate, vicinity
of Crookston is estimated at $4,000.

HOLT FARMER
MURDERED BY SON
john Hanson Shot by Son While
Cleaning Automobile Body
Hid Behind Granary,

Louis Hanson, aged 26, shot and
killed his father, John Hanson, Mon
day evening while the later was in
the act of cleaning his automobile
in the farm yard. After having
comleted the shooting. Louis took
the body and hid it in the grass be-
hind the granary. The weapon used
by the young Hanson was an old 22
rifle and was hid under the granary
floor after the murder. The empty
cartridges were hid near a post in
the pasture fence.
The murder took place about five
o'clock in the afternoon, while
George. Hanson, another son was
working in the field. Upon return
ing from the days work, George
asked his brother were the father
was. The reply was that the "old
man is behind the granary'. Not
thinking anything more about the
matter George went about the work
of doing the farm chores, while
Louis went after the cattle. In the
meanwhile a neighbor boy called
upon the young men and as he was
about to leave, Louis called him
back and said to him: 'I want to
show you something funny. The
boy asked whss.,ss 81 y was>.and Louis
told him to go with him behind the
granary. At first the neighbor did
not see anything and asked Louis
again what it was. Louis then
pointed to his father, who was lay
ing huddled in the deep grass. I'm
mediately upon seeing the dead man
the visiting boy ran and informed
the other brother George, who noti-
fled the authorities in this city.
Sheriff Hanson left yesterday for
Holt and brought the demented
young man to this city for exam
ination for insanity.
The bullet entered the dead mans
head from his neck and bored it's
way thru to the forehead. This
evidence showed that the father
must have been in a stopped posi-
tion while shot.
The deceased was prosperous
farmer, who was we'll known in his
neighborhood and resided about
eight miles north of Holt
The boy, Louis, has been insane
for several years, but had never
shown signs of being dangerous un-
til recently and does not realize
that he has killed his father, but
as he says "it is something funny"

Selin, in 1874. He immigrated to
America and came to Marshall coun-
ty in 1881, settling on a farm in
town Of McCrea, where he was en-
gagged in farming until 1891. Then
they sold the farm and moved into
Warren, where they engaged in the
hotel business for number of
years. Mrs. Mortenson died in Feb
ruary 1909.
In 1910, Mr.. Mortenson and his
only daughter and child, Miss
Martha Mortenson, made a trip to
Sweden to visit two brothers and
three sisters Of deceased, who are
still living there. Returning from
Sweden they continued to make
their home in Warren. Miss Nor
tenson, who is a graduate of the
Warren High School and the Moor
head normal school and is a teacher
by profession, tenderly caring for
her father during his declining
years.
John Mortenson was very kind
and pleasant old gentleman, courte-
Gus to everybody, always tipping his
hat to persons he met on the street,
in accordance with old country style.
He was friend to everybody and
everybody was his friend.
The funeral was held from the
Swedish Lutheran church in this
city, this afternoon at 2 o'clock and
was conducted by Rev. J. w. Lund
gren, of Alvarado, who preached an
impressive funeral sermon. An ap-
propriate solo was sang by Nels E.

was good sized attendance Of old
friends and neighbors of deceased.
The floral contributions were many
and beautiful, one or two set pieces
being contributed by friends in the
village Of Alvarado, where Miss
Mortenson has taught school for a
number Of years.
Peace to the memory Of a good
man and noble pioneer.
