Tornado at Vienna
Kills Two and In
lures Seven Others

q 81 71ltl5
The first tornado OF the season oc.
CURED last Thursday evening in the
vicinity of Vienna, extending in a
southwesterly direction, and, fortun.
:ately. covering but a comparatively
small area.
James Hanson, young son of Mr.,
and Mrs. Jens Hanson, was killed,
and Mr.. Ole Glove was so seriously
injured, having both legs broken, that
he died the following day, soon after
reaching Luther hospital in this city
Some seven or eight persons were
severely injured, narrowly escaping
death. Iver Glove, son of Ole Glove
was among those most severely hurt
His life was despaired Of for a few
days.
The list of injured is as follows: Ole
Glove (since died), Mr.. and Mrs. Jens
Hanson, Iver Glove, Mrs. Glove and
three children, domestic employed
in the Glove home.
1t appears that the Hanson family
were at Vienna in the afternoon. Re
turning home, they perceived the ap
proach of the storm and hastened for
ward. Arriving Just before the storm
broke, they rushed into the barn, as
Stunning that it would be safer than
the house. Unfortunately, the barn
was destroyed, while the house was
not greatly damaged.
The Hanson home is within mile
of Vienna, while the Glove home is
about five miles southwest.
But slight damage, in comparison
was done in Vienna. One residence
that of Banker A. M. Sogn-was
unroofed and otherwise damaged, and
the buildings belonging to ]. B. Grass.
ly, cashier of the bank, were moved
from their respective foundations.

Tension Increasing
Along Trench Lines
European Battlefields
Germans Preparing to Meet Anticipat
ed Drive Thought to Be About
to Begin.

Cablegrams indicate that the Ger
mans are anticipating the long-ex-
pected drive by the allies to be about
ready to begin.
Men and arms and ammunition are
said to have been rushed to various
points along the line of defenses so
as to strengthen the German resist
ance.
For more than year it has been
generally assumed that the allies
we're preparing for a concerted move
ment against the German lines. Lack
ing equipment, not having soldiers in
readiness, not having supplies in
readiness for an offensive warfare
lit has been believed that vast pre-.
paral lions were in process for the
purpose of attempting to drive the
Germans back into their own terri
tory.
Whether this speculation is well
founded is but conjectural as yet, fol
the great drive has not begun, un
less operations have been commenc
ed within the past twenty-four hours

they will receive on land and sea is
