Grand Forks Is Hard HE.
Grand Forks, N. D., July 2.-One Of
the hardest hail storms that this Sec
ton of the state has seen for some
time hit here last night about $50
o'clock. Coming out of a clear sky,
the storm played havoc with gardens,
tore jnnumerable leaves and twigs
from trees, and in the farming sec
tons totally destroyed the crops Of
some of the farms.
True to form, the hail "hit in
spots" The city was hit in all parts;
some places two and three miles
from town were not hit in the least,
while others the same distance away
were totally destroyed
War gardens, which were numer-
Gus in the city, suffered greatly.
Garden stuff which was nearly ready
for. table use was beat down to the
ground.
Flower gardens after the storm
were almost unacceptable and Sec
tions of streets which were lined with
trees, were covered with leaves and
twigs which had been struck down
from the trees by the large pieces of
hail.. t. .r.s
North Of the city the storm seems
to have done the most damage. The
Read, Tinlin, Freeman and Root
farms were hit so as to beat down
practically all Of the grain, and those
men last night expressed the opinion
that their crops were a total loss.
They said last night that the hail
was much harder there than in town.
Along Red Lake river, which the
storm seemed to follow, the damage
is estimated all the way from 10 to so
per cent. The Lilac Hedge farm ad-
joining the city was hit very hard by
the storm, while the j. D. Bacon
farm eight miles north Of town was
not hit.
At Marvel and Ardoch much dam
age seems to have been done. At
Marvel the city seemed to be in the
center of a strip about five miles
wide, in which everything went down
before the storm Of hail. AT Ardoch
a few miles north Of that place, the
storm hit in spots. Some of the
