BAD HAIL LOSSES

One of the worst hail storms in the
history of the county, and which did
untold damage, was that which passed
through the Westiield country on
Thursday evening.
About five o'clock in the afternoon
the hail came, commencing at point
several miles northwest of Westfield
in the Grassner district. It went
southeast into Campbell county, al
most to Herreid. Right at Westfield
the storm was not so bad, seeming to
let up little for a short distance.
However, farthe northwest and south
east the loss was complete.
With the hail came a heavy rain
that covered greater territory than
the hail itself. The strip of hail var
led from mile and half wide to
three miles or more. At Linton there
was but bare sprinkle.
The most serious feature, aside from
the loss Of food stuffs, is the financial
loss to the farmers in the path of the
hail. Not more than one in ten had
insurance against hail. Many of those
whose crops were total loss had no
insurance. One Of the local grain
buyers, Mr.. Schilling, visited some of
the country on the north. end of the
strip hailed out and says that several
fields were SO badly damaged that the
owners would do we'll to cut the re-
naming grain for hay.
It has been hard to get complete
list of the losses because SO few were
insured. However, some of them are
as follows:
Peter Miller, $50 acres, total loss.
Peter Joachim, $50 acres, partial
loss.
Jos. Joachim, $50 acres, total loss.
Jos. Werlinger, $50 acres, three
fourths loss.
Arend Hasper, $50 acres, total loss,
no insurance.
R. Rypkema, 200 acres, partial loss.
Jos. Slagh, 200 acres, partial loss.
Mike Materi, 250 acres, half loss.
Vincent Seller, 200 acres, half loss.
Andrew Lipp, 200 atres, mostly loss.
Frank Gosz, 1876 acres half loss.
P. M Van Soest, 16O acres, total
loss, no insurance.
In addition to the above the follow.
ing had serious losses:
Ed. Compaan, Jr.
Egidi Getz.
]. Plaggema.
Frank Nieusma.
Albert Thinner.
John Thinner.
This is the first real hail storm tc
. strike this particular neighborhood ir
twenty years. For that reason, es'
; pecially among the Hollanders, ther,
, was practically no insurance. Thi.
storm will take down the total yield O,
the county materially, besides seri
ously injuring many farmers in tn,
financial way.

MORE SCHOOL ROOM,

The public schools will have con-
siderable addition in available school
room this fall, according to the pres
ent plans of the school authorities.
Beginning this week advertisements
appear for the bids to be opened on
August 23rd for building frame ad-
dition to the from of the present school
house to provide four additional rooms
The classes will then be taken out of
the basement, and the little tots that
have been receiving instruction in the
Stella johnson building on Broadway,
and one of the crowded rooms split up
will take advantage of the new accom-
modations:s
1t is estimated that the new addition
will cost something like eight thousand
dollars. The district is up against a
hard proposition for school rooms.
Additional space must be provided,
and at once. There is no way of Sc
curing sufficient funds to construct at
this time a modern brick or stone
building. Hence, there is no other
course open.
Architect Van Horn is furnishing
the plans, and was here Monday night
for final conference with the local
authorities.
School will not start until October
1st, and, as the work will not be com.
plete at that time, temporary rooms
will be secured-if possible.
