Farmer Declares That the Earth
Irembled and Buildings
Moved

Rochester, December 31.-J. L.
Grassle was in Rochester from his
nome farm near Douglas and he gave
some further information regarding
the recent minor earthquake reported
In that vicinity week or ten DAYS
ago. AT that time he and his SON
Lloyd, were in the large barn on
the Grassle farm, when suddenly
they felt a tremor which nearly
threw them off their feet. They
could feel the barn shake in its en-
tirety, and they discerned the floor
waving like the waters of a pond
There was also a tremendous noise
accompanying the phenomenon.
The Messrs. Grassle at the time
could give no other solution to the
strange manifestation than that it was
a small earthquake shock. Satur.
Cay, j. l.. Grassle voiced further
proof. He said that upon examining
his barn, he discovered that large
beams had been torn loose from the
poles to which they had been fasten-
ed. This indicated that the tremor
had had much force.
Further, he stated that a neighbor
boy also felt the quake ard heard the
sound which accompanied it.

MRS. h. C. erwin DIES
SHE PASSED AWAY AT HER
HOME IN ST. CLOUD
Charming Lady Whose Death
Proves Shock to Mankato
Friends

Mrs. H. C. Erwin, daughter of Mrs.
R. d. Hubbard of this city, died at
her home in st. Cloud about twelve
O'Clock, last night, death following a
in Mankato, and was about thirty
three years of age. Her early girl
hood was spent in this city, where
she graduated from the Mankato
high school. She was also a gradu-
ate of the state university. About
eight years ago she was married to
H. C.. Erwin Jr, and they made their
home at st. Cloud since then.
Mrs. Erwin, in company with her
husband, spent last Friday evening
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. E. F.
Moore in st. Cloud. Returning to
their own home later at night she be-
came i'll, and was very ill the following
morning. Her case was so critical
that three specialists from Mime
apolis were summoned, ard two op-
erations for the TRANSMISSION of blood
were performed.
Last evening Mrs. Erwin appeared
to be a little better in health but about
ten minutes to twelve o'clock last
night she became worse and, failed
rapidly. The surviving relatives are
the widower and little daughter Jean,
aged four years; the mother, Mrs. r.
d. Hubbard of this city; sister,
Mrs. E. NJ. Richter, ST. Paul; and
"a brother, Jay Hubbard of Texas.
Mrs. Erwin was better known in
Mankato as Kate Hubbard. She was
a charming woman and the news of
her death was a shock to her many
friends in this city. In ST. Cloud she
was very highly thought of for her
many gracious qualities of mind and
heart. Her death is doubly sad be-
cause of the fact that she was soon
to become a mother.
Mrs. Ervin's married life was an
exceptionally happy one. She was 4
loving wife and a devoted mother
and she possessed a charm of man
ner that made her home very pleasant
and inviting. She was highly &C
complished lady whose death will
create vacancy in the best circles in
st. Cloud. She was beautiful char
acter and her friends were many and
loyal.
Mr.. Erwin is engaged in the milling
business in st. Cloud and is among
the most prominent of the men of af-
fairs in that city.
A report from st. Cloud this after
noon was to the effect that Mrs. Erwin
died of an internal hemorrhage Her
mother, Mrs. Hubbard, and her sis
ter, Mrs. Theodore Richter, were at
her bedside when death occurred
both having been summoned when
Mrs. Erwin became ill.,
1t is likely that the funeral will be
held in st. Cloud Thursday morning.
Interment will probably be in the
cemetery at St. Cloud.
Jay Hubbard, brother of Mrs. Erwin
is now en- route from Texas to st.
Cloud.
