MASS MEETING AT

Called to Consider Plan of
Moving City Offices to
County Court House; Only
Eleven Citizens Respond

That the much advertised popular
desire to move the city hall to the

manifest last night when IL citizens

called for O'Clock
At $40 this group, wearied of

LIST
OF STORM
GREAT
Persons Killed and
Injured in Fergus Falls
and Surrounding Coun-
try; Buildings Wrecked.

Fergus Falls, Mimi, June "a. -
Forty-eight persons are known to
have been killed and $50 injured in
the tornado which struck Fergus
Falls. This list, which was compiled
by state officers, does not include
the casualties from the surrounding
country which was struck by the
twister. Most of the deaths occurred
around the Grand hotel, which was
crushed by the wind. Four churches,
the Jail, courthouse, buildings of
the small college and number of
dwellings were wrecked The prop
erty damage is estimated at between
one and two million dollars.
Work of searching the debris
which marks the sites of nearly 400
homes and stores will be completed
today, General Rhinow believed, and
then it may be discovered that the
present estimate of the dead will be
increased.
Blown Into Lake.
Arrangements are being completed
to drag Lake Alice, nearby summer
resort. Many persons at the lake
were blown into the water, it is
generally believed. A large number
of the summer cottages which line
it's shores were blown far out into
the lake.
More than $50 persons with seri-
GUS injuries are being cared for at
the state insane hospital and Wright
and st. Luke's hospitals. Temper
ary arc light wires were strung
throughout the devastated district
to enable the soldiers and civilian
relief workers to continue their
search of the ruins. Late last night
AZ bodies had been recovered and
taken to temporary morgues. About
20 more are thought to be lying be-
meath the wreckage of the storm
which swept a path four blocks wide
through the city.
Four of the bodies were recovered
from Lake Alice this morning and
four from One Mile lake. Mayor
Frank Berg called meeting of citi-
zens to discuss measures of relief
and tentative plans were laid for a
community funeral for all the vic
tins Wednesday.

The state this morning exhausted
all it's three peremptory challenges,
while the defense has used four of it's
six peremptories. The state per-
emptorialy challenged John Adami,
Thomas Duff and William Vein
scheimer, believed to hold no con-
victions against organized labor,
while the challenges exercised by at
torneys for the defense were in the
cases of John Kahn, admittedly an
enemy of organized labor; Edward

he could not give an impartial ver-
dict.
Kessler, manager of the Kessler
Brewing company, admitted intimate
friendship with council of defense
members and said he had pre-
conceived opinion as to the guilt of
Dunn previous to the latter's trial
and held to the same opinion as to
anyone connected with writing or
publishing of the editorial in the
Bulletin for which Dunn was con-
victed and fined. Kessler declared
that he held the belief that whoever
wrote the article or had anything to
do with the publication was guilty
of intent to incite opposition and re-
sistance to the council of defense.
Was a Subscriber.
Zotique La Fleur disqualified HIM
self by asserting he held positive
opinions as to the case. After he
had been disqualified, as he passed
the prosecutor he said he was sub
scriber of the Bulletin and had his
prejudices about the case. Accord
ing to the present indications it is
probable that introduction of testi-
mony by the state will begin tomor-
row. Possibly because of the in
tense heat, but little interest in the
case is apparent, only occasional at
torneys and jurors and some wit
nesses being among the spectators.
