LAST NIGHT
Residences and Farm
Houses are Blown Down
and Demolished.

Langdon, N. d.. June 26.-one Of
the worst storms IN this part Of the
for several years struck Langdon
and the district between here and
last night, commencing at
1880. It was q succession Of tornadoes
and storms, four Of them striking this
territory inside Of q short time A small
tornado. accompanied by the worst
hail storm ever experienced in this
part Of the state, struck Dresden and
did considerable damage both to
and crops.
The $1,000 farm home Of Fred
Domres.. west Of .Langdon. vas badly
and twelve buildings on the
Andrew Albechd farm we're either de-
stroyed or damaged.
The main tornado could be seen
coming for some distance and, as it
travelling towards Lanedon at a
rapid pace the inhabitants, or as many
Of them as could get into automobiles,
left the town before it struck the city.
But 1t broke up at the edge Of Lang
don and did not do,much damage Of
q serious nature.
A smaller tornado followed this one
and passed through Langdon along
the railway track, picking up railway
box cars. smashing some and sending
others out IN the track. Several small
houses were demolished and fences
and everything Of a movable nature
came to grief. The residence of Joseph
Crawford and smaller buildings close
to tho min badly damaged. The
mill. also owned by Mr.. Crawford,
was damaged to sorne extent. All live
stock in the path Of the tornado was
killed.
Telephone and telegraph wires were
blown down for several miles and II
was not before early this afternoon
that communication with the outside
was re-established.
A Great Northern wrecking crew
arrived. during the night to pick up
box cars along the line and clear the
tract from smashed cars and build
ings. .lIa
1t is impossible at this time to ever
attempt to estimate the damage done
It is ost~probable that the tornadoes
devastated dozens of farm buildingt
northwest of here.

PAROLED PRISONERS
ENGAGED in WORK
TO HELP WIN WAR

Springfield. ILL.,. June 26.-More
than 200 paroled prisoners from 1lli-
nois' penal institutions already are
engaged on raj work for the federal
government, Il became known here
today. and Charles H. Thorne. d.
public welfare. believed a thousand
such men can be selected without
fear of any betraying the special trust
imposed in the war. emergency.
Most workers thus far have been
assigned to tasks at the Rock Island
arsenal. In addition to those
ployed BY the government, however,
q large number are being used as
farm and garden laborers at state in
shortage problem faced by the state.
Utmost Is used to make sure
men released from the prison walls
are trustworthy, Mr.. Thorne said. He
stated that the entire plan is in con-
onanc with the cooperative system
Of prison administration. the attempt
being to build up character and to
reclaim men for good citizenship after
prison terms have expired. Provisions
clared, r being carefully observed.
The scheme Of war emergency ar
ole was worked u originally by Will
Colvin, superintendent of the division
of ~pardons and paroles, and approval
given by the federal government. Mr..
Thorne. head of the department.. be-
.lfeved the plan an excellent one, and
he shared this attitude with John. l..
Whitman, superintendent of prisons.
In the operation of the new system
the prisoners ire paroled to the vari-
Illinois free employment agencies
which in turn offer them for work to
the federal bureaus. Both have been
consolidated as a result Of the val
and the cooperative arrangement
was 8 Of accomplishment. !.
"Of1cials Of the department of pub
lie welfare are taking unusual salts
faction in placing paroled prisoners
in government SERVICE" said Mr.
Thorne today. "An. interesting feature
is the effect upon the prisoners who
earnestly desire to serve the govern
ment for the war. Their pride is
great and the result, officials believe,
will go further toward bringing these
men back to citizenship than any
thing else that could be devised. The
'gunman' will not be paroled for war
work. Records here show there are
now incarcerated in the three state
penal institutions a total Of 3,s43 per-
sons. OF these. 1921 are at Joliet.
1,142 at Chester, and $50 at Pontiac"

ACCURATE REPORTS
KEPT OF ALL HORSES
IN CAVALRY UNITS

Fort Bliss, Tex, June 2s.-Accurate
records are kept Of all horses in the
cavalry, artillery IN d other mounted
units Of the United States army. The
number given each horse when It is
purchased for the army Is branded on
a fore foot while the number Of its
organization Is burned on the other
front hoof. This enables the men Of
the army veterinary corps to keep the
record of the horse in their files at
the veterinary headquarters.
The illnesses which are suffered by
the equine fighters are as carefully
entered as are those Of the men in
the base hospitals. The age. sex and
general health condition of the ami
NAL is entered on a card index as soon
as it becomes a part Of the fighting
force and this record is kept until the
animal dies or is sold out Of the serv-
ice.
When a horse is killed in action
this fact is noted on the card and
wounds in battle are also noted.
