Barn Fire on A. Myers Farm

Fire at noon on Thursday last week
burned to the ground the barn on the
Albert Myers farm, located about two
miles east of Langdon, At the time
of the fire being discovered Mr.. Myers
and his man were at farm three
miles east of the farm blowing, no
one being there except Mrs. Myers and
the children. The building was a total
loss, the fire also destroyed some hay,
grain and farm tools that were in the
building. No cause has being assigned
as to the probable cause of the fire,
which evidently started from the in.
side of the part of the building where
the horses were kept when in the
barn. Work will comm ence on new
barn as soon as the wreck of the old
building can be cleared away.

Bad Wind Storm
Saturday Evening
Injuries dLoss of Property
On VIM. Edwards Farm
Mimic Township

Saturday evening, in less than an
hour of the passing over of the
threatening windstorm which was
noted with considerable alarm by the
people of Langdon at about eight
o clock, news came by telephone of
how the storm had struck with great
force and damage to property south
and west of Wales, in Mimic town.
ship, south through Moscow, and to
the northeast in parts of Mt. Car
mel and Langdon townships there also
appeared TO be traces of where the
storm had wrought lesser amount
OF damage to property. 1t would ap-
pear to have been rather the coming
together of two storms, more than
what could be termed as twister, I"
or tornado, and its duration is stated
to have been of nearly five minutes,
instead of just the sweeping force of
storm that passes over with the
speed of an express train, and was
unaccompanied by any heavy down.
pour of rain. although there was
quite a falling Of temperature imme-
diately afterwards.
From reports and calls for medical
aid that came to Langdon, it was
shown that the farm of William Ed
wards, six miles southwest of Wales,
in Mimic township, was where the
storm broke with its greatest fury.
The barn was practically leveled to
the ground and part of the debris
piled up alongside the house some dis.
tance away. Mr.. Edwards was in the
building at the time, milking the
cows, and the one he was engaged in
milking at the time Was killed. He,
himself, was knocked down under the
crumbling sides and roof when the
barn was struck, and pinned under sc
that he had to lie there beneath
the timbers that crushed and bruised
him until help came to his release.
Other injuries were the result of the
horses and stock trampling over him
when they broke loose from their
stalls. Mr.. Edwards injuries although
confnjng him to his bed and quite
painful are not thought to have re.
suited in any internal complications.
His theory is that the barn was struck
by lightning, in which case his loss
will to considerable extent be GOV.
cred with insurance.
At the farm of Fred Borusky, less
than mile distant two small gran.
aries and an auto shed were demolish
ed by the wind with added losses o1
hay feed and other grains. The losses
of Mr.. Borusky are stated as being
covered by insurance.
From over the county are received
scattering reports of windm;'ls break
ing loose from their mooriags, ha,
stacks being carried off and small
buildings removed from their fQunda.

long odds one of the worst windstorms
that the county has experienced since

QUARTER OF A MILLION
DOLLARS OF BONDS

Next week the Democrat will have
the space and time to give in detail
the result of the campaign drive for
the Third Liberty Loan war bond
issue covering Cavalier county, show
ing the sale of bonds in each of the
towns, villages and townships of the
county with both the amount and
number of bonds sold. The summary
will also show the way in which the
women have shown their patriotism
in this matter. That every district
or precinct either subscribed for it's
full allotment OF bonds or oversub-
scribed the amount.
For the present we have to ask the
indulgence of our readers by taking
from the detailed statement of chair
man Archie Sillers bare statistics
showing that in this county 1921 men
subscribed for bonds amounting to
$2l6, $50 worth of Liberty loan and
that 578 women were the purchasers
of $38, 900 worth of these bonds.
bringing the total amount up to
1854, $50 making, the sale $54, $50
over its allotment. The showing is
most fattering one and when the
tabulatedss dsstatement is perused it will
be noted that the outside town con.
tributionss were no small factor in
the sum total of the better than a
quarter of million dollar bond sale
made in this county within the Gpast
month.
