BATTLE ROYAL IN
DEMOCRAT RANKS
Concrete" Forces Will
Oppose "Abstractors"

Old Guard Determined to Put
Over Hudson and Wood
ward in County Primary.

With nine candidates In the field
each seeking 20 Land one OF the two
democratic nominations for state
representative from Tulss county,
the main question at issue now seems
TO be how the eXponents of CON
crete democracy and the "abstrac-
tors will line up on the proposition.
For the line Of cleavage between
these two party factions will be as
closely drawn In the county primary
contest In August. as IL was In the
recent city election when the "ab-
stra voted with the republic
cans and succeeded In banishing the
concrete" exponents from the city
hall. There seems to be no indica-
ton whatever now that these two
factions can get together either be-
fore the primary election or the gem
eral election in November.
One thing, however seems true
at this time, and that is that the
forces of Concrete" are going to
line up behind Wash Hudson and
John Il. Woodland in an effort to put
them across In August. Some OF the
other candidates may have an idea
that they have u chance to break
into the ring but the entire talk on
the street among the fellows who
backed tho recent city administra-
tion to the last ditch is that 1t must
be Hudson and Woodard
The old democratic guard may sue
ceed In this effort IL all the present
candidates remain in the field, thus
splitting up the opposition vote
Among the six aspirants. But there
are rumors in the air that there will
be some Withdrawals and that pos
sibly only the two who develop the
greatest strength will go under the
election wire.
IN that case political battle royal
may be expected with the control
of the democratic county machinery
the ultimate goal.

WORST HAIL STORM IN
YEARS HITS FR0ID
and NC CABE
COUNTRY

Froid Tribune: The worst hail storm
in years struck the Froid and McCabe
country last Tuesday night between
six and seven o'clock, doing thous-
ands of dollars worth of damage to
crops, it being estimated that between
forty and fifty thousand acres were
destroyed in this part of the county.
Hail stones from the size of marbles
up to common hen eggs fell for near
ly an hour in many places, and aside
from the Gloss of crops many windows
were broken and gardens suffered
much damage. The hail was accom-
panied by heavy rain. Early Wednes-
day morning two heavy rains fell
throughout this part of the country
and west on the reservation where
moisture was badly needed. The past
week of extreme hot weather cut the
crop yield, some say, one-half, and
had not the rain come when it did
crops would have been in bad shape
again this year, but as it now is there
will be lot of good crops yet, and
in many places dandy crop will be
harvested.
It is impossible for us at this time
to give a complete list of all those
who suffered from the hail disaster,
but the number is large in the coun-
try around Froid to the northeast and
e(1t and aound the McCabe country
to the north and south.
w. H. Coats, northeast of Froid,
who had between three and four hund-
red acres of crop was entirely wiTCd
out, but fortunately carried insurance
with the state. Ed. Luebke's big crop
was entirely cleaned up, no insurance,
as was H. Hoye's, Ed. Bolen, Joe La
Mar, Geo. Waters, some of Arthur
Ryder's, Joe .Ansdorff, lick, John
Miller, Will Base, J. w. Frederick,
John Balm, and many others in that
part of the country suffered very
heavy losses, very few having any
insurance.
East of Froid the Clenard Holly
farm, Christofferson, ]. P. Holly, C.
c. Scott and some others got some
of the hail and crops were badly hurt.
Further east the bulk of Ed. Cheney's,
4. L. Tipp, J. w. Hardie, Henry
Swendsen, Dick Nordman, A. Mid
thune, E. X. Daley, ]. Starry and
dozens of others crops were destroyed.
In the McCabe country to the north
and southwest the damage and loss is
extremely heavy. The farms of ST.
mon MAIDEN, J. J. Hansen, Nils Sor-
enson, and some others were totally
cleaned up. Walter Rasmussen, Jens
Larsen, Jens Jensen, Martin Larsen
and dozens of others suffered a heavy
loss.
l.. A. Balm lost so acres, E. H.
Balm and Jack Hurry also had some
loss.
The storm was between two and
three miles wide and did not travel
in a straight line but jumped around
considerably, missing some and hit
ting others.
In the Enterprise country east of
Froid where the farmers of Bernhard
and Chris Jacobsen, Andrew Harbo,
w. e. Swank and other are located.
heavy rains but little or no hail is
reported.
