BARN FIRE THREATENS HOTEL

A barn belonging to the city and To-
Gated in the alley at the rear of the
City Hall, was destroyed by fire about
three o'clock this Thursday after
noon. The building was an old one,
and the flames soon enveloped it in
such a mass as to threaten the River
Falls Hotel and other nearby proper
ty, but prompt and efficient action on
the part of the Fire Department con-
fined the destruction to the one build
ing.
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1922-05-11

While hurrying to the fire this after
noon, cars driven by Leonard Johnson
and Les. Kay collided at the corner
off Main and Walnut streets. No one
was hurt in the crash, but both cars
were considerably damaged. Kay's
car was turned completely around and
forced upon the sidewalk almost into
the doorway of Allard's store. People
standing in the doorway narrowly es-
capped being struck. An iron brace for
the awning saved the stores big plate
glass windows from being broken.

over and over for several rods and left
bottom side up, badly smashed up.
The. old Thomas Gordon home, oc-
cupied by Sylvester Gordon, was
pierced full of holes by flying debris
The family were all inside, and mir
aculously escaped death from the mis-
siles which were driven into the build
ing with terrific force.
AS is usual in these storms, the
twister played some freakish tricks.
The hymn books and large bible re-
manned on the site of the church,
while heavy timbers, one 8x8 and t.
#. long was hurled over hill, across
the creek and deposited an eighth of a
mile away.
The keyboard to the church organ
was found among the ruins in the
basement, but no other portion of the
organ could be found. Many church
chairs escaped without a scratch
while other woodwork from the same
location was splintered into tiny piec-
es.
The village school house was missed
altogether, by just few rods.
The home of Mr.. and Mrs. Alva
Helmer, near the school house, was
struck, and the house turned an eighth
around. Shade trees in the yard were
torn up by the roots and piled W
against the building, as high as the

roof. The house was not badly dam
aged, but windows were broken, Chin
neys torn off and the roof somewhat
| damaged.
| There were several persons in the
| Helmer house when the lights We're
suddenly extinguished and the build
ing commenced to turn and grind, and
bedding and household articles were
drawn out through windows upstairs
and things were hurled about in every
room. Some of the things which were
drawn out of the windows by the wind
were later recovered some distance
away.
The barn of Charles and Arthur
Beardsley was unroofed, the hog
house and chicken house carried away,
one hog and all but two or three of
his flock of chickens killed.
The new store of Ben Haverland,
located near the church, was damaged
considerably. The front was torn off
and thrown onto the ground few feet
away. His ware house, also used as
cream receiving station, was blown
away, leaving a bare floor, and his
auto, which stood at the front of the
store was rolled over and over into a
field across the road.
AS the swirling cloud crossed the
creek it sucked up great mass of
mud and water, and wherever the
storm struck it spattered deep layer
of this mud over buildings and trees,
adding that much more to the depres-
sing appearance of the wreckage.
Telephone and electric lines were
demolished in the storms path.
After passing the Beardsley home
the storm lifted having spent its
fury, and no further damage was
done.
Early next morning, and every day
since, and especially on Sunday, sight
seers have swarmed to the scene from
near and far They found the more
fortunate residents busy helping their
storm swept neighbors in the great
work of repairing the damaged prop
erty.
Despite the fury of the storm, the
mass of flying debris, and the many
wrecked buildings, fortunately no per-
son of the many who were in the eye
lone's path received so much as a
scratch.
Tornado insurance was carried by
Alex Huppert, Chris. Cutting, Michael
Graetz and the Beardsley Bros, and
they will therefore be partly if not en-
tirely reimbursed for their losses.

STEEL GOLF FCLUBS
TESTED IN WEST
Players Get Better Results
From Wooden Shafts; W.G.A.
Verdict Due To-day.

CHICAGO, May 16 (Associated Press).
The trial of the steel shafted golf
clubs by the Western COLI Association
was finished to-day at nc Edgewater
Golf Club and the verdict OF the jury.
composed OF the executive committee of
the w. G.. A., as to their, eligibility. is
expected tomorrow, according to Presi-
dent Albert r. Gates.
The tests were made after the United
States Golf Association had barred the
clubs in conformance with British prac-
tice, as being either a mechanical con-
trivance or for not conforming to the
usual form of golf clubs. 1t is said
that the U. S. G. A. may reconsider
the subject if the w. G.. A. finds they
are not illegal.
To-day's experiments consisted in
having Bob Macdonald and Allan Cow,
Chicago professionals. and Chick Evans.
former amateur and open champion.
drive six balls each with steel Shafted
clubs and then six more each with
wooden shafted implements. 1t was a.
sequel to an ATTIC mpt a month ago tc
compare the sha s. blizzard making
that trial unsatic actory.
Macdonald ant Cow both got better
distance with wo den shafted clubs, and
Evans propably would have done the
same If he had used his own clubs in
stead OF borrowed ones. Macdonald
lived up to his reputation as one of the
worlds longest drivers by averaging
BOG yards with steel shafts against the
wind with almost no roll on heavy turf
and 226 yards with hickory.
Balls also were hit off the toe and
the heel of the club to see whether the
steel shaft would hold mashie ball
straight. It seemed to do so to a sliga.:
extent. but they lost in distance Mac
Donald and Evans also pitched several
shots to a flag and neither could find
any difference between steel and wood
shafts in the mashie. Also they seemed
to get similar results with a msshie iron.
No one can make club that will
| give a man a golf game" said Mac
| Donald, but if some one can make him
stroke he can use almost any club with
| good results"
