CYCLONE WRECKS
farm BUILDINGS
At SINC0E
Monday Evenings Twister Carried
Away Large Houses and Barns-No
One Injured-Fund for Victims

A terrible cyclone did in the neigh
borhood of $4,000 damage in the vi
cinity of Simcoe, % miles southeast
of Minot on the Minot-Fargo cutoff,
about six o'clock Monday evening. The
following farmers sustained damage
estimated as follows:
S2,5OO
John Ihley, house and barn, $4,000.
John Kemp, new barn, $4,000.
John Mullen, barn wrecked and gar
age lost$1,00O.
Other damage done in the vicinity
will bring the loss up to $4,000 or
over. Fortunately no lives were lost
and no stock is reported to have been
killed.
The clouds could be seen gathering
for some time and finally the twister
appeared in all of it's fury. 1t took an
el-shaped course and came with ter
rife rumbling and roar.
thewasafies-
John Ihley, assessor of Hendrickson
township, McHenry county, where the
storm operated, suffered the greatest
loss His house was unroofed and all
of the clothing from the rooms on the
second floor was carried away. The
men were away but the women folks
were in the house. The home was
practically ruined. A terrific down.
pour followed the cyclone, drenching
the women, but they were not injured.
Mr. Ihley's fine barn, 32X40 was car
ried away. The only trace that can be
found of it, are few splinters scat
tered over the field. The windmill was
torn down.
The funnel-shaped cloud next visited
the John Mullen farm, removing the
large barn from the foundation and
carrying away the garage completely.
The auto was left standing, with only
the fender damaged slightly. The
stock in the barn were not hurt.
Andrew Strandberg had almost fin
ished fine large house. This was
blown away together with the old
barn, leaving the old house standing
undamaged.
John Kemps mammoth new barn
32x60 feet was blown away.
Andrew Lindquist, who watched the
progress of the storm, says that the
cyclone dropped suddenly to earth
taking everything in it's path. Six
inches of rain followed the cyclone,
filling the Hendrickson fiat. The neigh
bors are making up large fund for
Mr.. Ihley, who appears to have suffer-
ed the most damage.
w. A. Moran and Frank Eicher Of
this city, who own farms in that vicin-
ity, drove out Wednesday to view the
work of the storm.

FIRST STOCK SHOW
BIG SUCCESS
Breeders Say They are Satisfied and
Will Return Next Year-SOme Fine
BloOded Animals Shown.

The Northwestern Stock Show, be-
ing held in this city this week has
been pronounced by competent judges
to be thorough success. Not one Wis
itor has expressed himself as being
dissatisfied, but all say that it is bet
ter than they expected. The breeders
taking part in the show appear to be
satisfied in every way with the treat
ment that they are receiving at the
hands of the management, and they
say they will be back next year again.
The attendance has not been all that
was desired for the money spent in
getting the show in readiness, but even
if there is a deficit, Minot has made
good once more. The people of Minot
have not yet awakened to the fact that
Northwestern North Dakota is des-
tined to become the home of more
blooded stock than any other section
of the state, and that the Wonder City
will naturally be the city in which to
hold the annual shows and sales. The
breeders are ready, and it remains for
the city to take advantage of great
opportunity.
The horses and cattle are here in
force, but the hogs and sheep are lack

have more sheep and hogs, and next
year it is hoped that the showing will
be much larger than this year.
Judging started the first day, when
the Holsteins and Guernseys passed in
review. Tuesday the horses had the
ring. Wednesday the Shorthorns and
Aberdeen Angus cattle had their inn
ing.
