Red Wing, Minn-One person was
killed and eight were injured in two
Southern Minnesota tornadoes, one of
which swept up the Hay Creek valley
threatening Red Wing, the other turn
ing westward toward Mortified and
almost wiping out the little village Of
Castle Rock.
Six houses in Castle Rock were de-
stroyed as were three farm houses
outside the village. The Methodist
church and parsonage, the school
house, general store, blacksmith
shop and garage also were swept
away by the storm. Three farm
houses and a town hall were Destroy
ed near Red Wing. Diminished to a
heavy wind and rain storm the tor
nado also swept through the country
between Winona and Haverhill, de-
stroying barns and silos and causing
considerable crop damage.
Railroad service generally in Sou
them Minnesota was damaged and
wire service demoralized. Total dam
age to buildings and crops was esti-
mated at 100000. Red Cross aid was
sent from Mortified to Castle Rock.
It was at the Godfrey Swanson farm
house near Red Wing that the storm
took the only death toll of the day.
An 11-weeks' old baby of Mr.. and Mrs.
Swanson was killed by fling timbers
before the family could take refuge In
the basement Of their home Both
Mr.. and Mrs. Swanson were injured,
as was Miss Hildegarde Munson, SIS
ter of Mrs. Swanson, who lived with
them
Two other farmhouses which stood
In the path the storm took from the
Swanson farm house toward Red Wing
were also destroyed, but there was no
loss Of life. s.l H.. - ..... =. s.-. Il,
The school house was complete
wreck. The day before was the last
day of the school session. Many Of
the pupils were at the school, assist
ing the teacher to clear away the de-
bris of "last day" picnic. They were
excused less than half an hour before
the storm broke and reached shelter.
A heavy rain and wind storm swept
the vicinity of Winona, causing con-
siderable damage to buildings, and
crops between Winona and HaverhiIl
In Minnesota and in Western Wiscon-
sin. No loss Of life nor serious injury,
was reported. Washouts were caused
on both the Burlington and Milwau-
kee roads between Winona and the
Twin Cities. -
Apparently Red Wing was directly
in the path of the storm, then, when
the funnel shaped cloud was within
half a mile of the outskirts of the city
it struck the bluffs just south of Red
Wing and below the Lutheran Ladies
seminary. The protection of the bluffs,
it is believed, saved the city. The tor
nado cloud was DETECTED and broken.
Not a building inside the city limits
was destroyed. =

A FAIR Will BE HELD
Directors Decide to 90 Ahead and

Work on New Amphithedtre.

| The new Decatur County Fair AS
sociation will hold their first fair
this year That has been definitely
settled, meeting of the directors be-
ing held Monday at which this action
was decided upon. The Tightening
OF the money market and scarcity OF
material for time made it look as
If fair could not be held before
next year, but the officers are hust-
lers and they have ovetcome the
difficulties and things will hums from
now on. 1t was decided that fine
amphitheatre 52X2O0 feet would be
erected, and work was commenced
Tuesday hauling material for the
structure, and the concrete foot
ings will be in place by the last OF
this week. The amphitheatre will
be built so that when necessary ad-
ditional sections can be built right
on to it. If possible the barns will
also be built before the fair is held,
but if this cannot be done tents will
be secured for the exhibits the first
year and the permanent buildings
will be erected next spring. Many at
fractions have been boOkedsfOr the
air, and everybody can get ready to
make exhibits and attend the fair.
Although the time will be short, the
men behind the fair are the kind that
will make a success of it, and they
don't know what the word fail
means.

Presidential Nominee Spoke in Leon
i'm 1905.

Now that Warren G. Harding, OF
Ohio, has been honored with the
highest gift i'm the power OF the
republican party, the nomination
for president of the United States,
many of our readers will recall
hearing Mr.. Harding at that time
Governor Harding, speak at the
Leon Chautauqua on Sunday alter
noon, August 8. 1908. and The Re
porter editor was called u"on to in
troduce him to the audience as Mr..
Harding ~prided himself on being a
newspaper man more than in being
governor of the state of Ohio, and he
specially requested that a newspaper
man introduce him. Little did we
think and little did Gov. Harding
dream that twelve years later he
would be a candidate for the pres,-
dency. On the occasion of his visit
to Leon Gov. Harding at the last
minute changed his topic from THE
Big Stick to Alexander Hamilton
the Prophet of Our Destiny and he
made one of the finest Chautauqua
addresses that Leon audience was
ever permitted to hear. Mr.. Hard
ing is mighty fine fellow, and the
one mistake of his life is in being a
republican instead OF democrat.

ord Displaces Hounds as Fox
Chaser.

The flivers manufactured by
Henry Ford have been put to many
uses, but Leo Hoffman has decided
they are better than fox hounds
when it comes to catching foxes.
Last Wednesday evening Leo was
returning from Garden Grove, and
when near the w. H. Snyder farm
six miles northeast of Leon, saw
some kind of wild animal start
across the road, so he just stepped
on his new Ford and one wheel
caught the animal and keeied It
over. Leo stopped his car and went
back to see if he had killed some,
thing and found half grown red
fox lying by the side of the road
stunned. so he took an old coat and
threw it over the fox, and brought
it home with him, and as it showed
signs of life he put it in a cage and
the next morning found Mr.. Fox
just as clipper as before he was
struck, and Cal Hoffman says it is
the reddest fox he ever saw, and he
has seen a lot of.them. Leo is 60
ing to keep the fox and make a pet
of it, at least until it gets busy with
the chickens on the Hoffman farm.

Mrs. Frank Fa,ruhar Injured III
Auto Accident.

Mrs. Frank Faruuhar of this city,
was quite seriously injured in an
auto accident near Wick last Satur-
day morning. Mrs Farquhar in
company with her sister-in-law, Mrs.
Orel Estes, were driving to Des
Moines in Mrs. Estes sedan, and
when just north of Wick collided
with a big touring car owned by a
man residing at ST. Charles. Mrs.
Estes was driving, going north on
the right hand side of the road, and
at a turn on hill the big car came
from the east driving about twenty
five miles an hour, and turned the
corner on the wrong side of the
road. Seeing she would strike the
car, as there was high bank on
the right hand of the road. Mrs;
Estes applied the brakes. and tried
to veer to the left to escape a col
lision, but the other driver also
turned out and the two cars came to-
gether. Mrs. Estes escaped with
Shaking up. but Mrs. Farquhar, who
was in a front seat, was thrown
against something and then fell
back in the seat again. The car
two ladies drove on to Des Moines,
where Mrs. Farquhar was taken to
the Methodist hospital for examina-
ton, and an X-Rav disclosed that
her pelvic bone was broken in two
places. She was later. removed to
the home of James Alexander, where
she is being cared for, and is get
ting along as we'll as could be ex-
pected, and may be able to be
brought home on cot the latter
part of the week.
