HAIL DESTROYED CROPS
Western Section of Watonwan coun.
ty Was Visited BY Storm. =

st. James, July 27vA hail storm
of wide proportions visited the west
ern part of this county and destroyed
crops to the value of many thousands
of dollars. The storm swept over
into this county from Brown county
and took southeasterly course. The
damaged area started about two miles
north of Darfur and extended across
Butterfeld township and into Odin
township. On some farms the loss
to grain was almost complete and on
others nearby the hail was less severe
and hence only partial loss
On the Tilney farm near Butter
field occupied by Mr.. Ogee there was
practically complete loss Mana
ger Crowley estimates $4,000 loss.
Jerry Crowley's fine farm a mile
south of Butterfield was also in the
path of the hail and he suffered a
loss of several thousand dollars.
Something more than 100 farms al
together were damaged, the loss vary
ing from few hundred dollars to
several thousand, dollars. Some of
the farmers had hail insurance and
will be able to collect part of the
loss, but many of the farmers had
. no hail insurance and on them the
loss will be keenly felt.

the tragic death of his favorite cous-

quarreled, his lust for human life had
but started, for but few minutes
afterward from the darkened room he
| fired at w. A. Tenney, standing in the
sunlight of the street, and the brave
officer staggered but few yards,
| falling dead with bullet in his
heart.
The woman's scream following two
shots fired at her by Munoz had
alarmed the neighborhood in which
she lived, and dad" was the first to

the door of the house, his startled

the murdered woman when he, too
| fell victim. Not yet satisfied, the
assassin rushed to the body of the
officer and fired another bullet into
his lifeless form, secured Dads" re-
volyer, and hurried east down the
road, thence to the, railroad right-of-
way, his flight being accelerated by
shots fired by citizens.
The firing of the second shot al
