STORM TOLL HEAVY
in THIS VICINITY

A s'twister" which started at the
Herman Clark farm in Mann Valley
and wrecked several outbuildings
there late Monday afternoon, swept
into Troy and damaged considerable
property enroute, notably at the
Chas. Pierson, Oliver Knight and
Eric Bjerstedt farms.
The following evening, about eight
or nine o'clock two heavy storms
of larger proportions, but more in
the nature of hurricanes, swept over
this vicinity including all of the
Kinnickinnic valley and well south
and east throughout Pierce county.
No loss Of human life is reported,
but the property damage will amount
to thousands of dollars, much of
which, fortunately, is covered by in
surance.
While most of the damage was
from the wind, lightning also took
its toll, striking granary at the
Bert Dopkins place in Fargo and
burning it to the ground. At the
John Iverson farm in Gilman the
barn was struck and several cows
killed while Mrs. Iverson was in the
barn. The bolt set fire to the build
ing and it was totally destroyed.
Mrs. Iverson was rendered uncon-
scious for moment but recovered
quickly and made her escape.
Silos at Riley Wilson's, Chauncy
Wilcox and many other places were
either blown over or badly twisted
on their foundations. The wind
blew barn down and killed q COW
at Elmer LovelPs in the Fargo dis
trict. The flood of rim washed out
many culvarts.
A barn on the John P. Johnson
farm, the roof of barn on the VIM.
Davidson farm, and portion of the
Davidson house, occupied by the Wln.
Deiss family, all were wrecked by
the wind. A fine little plot of trees
at the Joe Deiss farm was wiped out,
and phone lines in that district were
knocked down.
A horse which Martin Ingebritson
had just bought was killed by lightn-
ing.
A barn was blown down on the Al
fred Winger farm (the old Deyar-
mond place..
Not much damage is reported in
the city, although lightning struck
several places. A bolt knocked the
chimney from the Fay Miller home,
the Elliott WATSON & Grimm property
at the east edge of the city.

AN INTERESTING HISTORY
OF THE BADGER STATE
No Similar Region in Territory Or
iginally Covered by the Great
Glaciers of North America and
Europe

Editors Note.-In this article the
authors, w. 0. Hotchkiss and F. A.
Cannon, tell the story of Wisconsin
in the making. Which of US know
whether or not we live in the portion
of Wisconsin once covered by vast ice
fields? Yet the glaciers visiting, or
failing to visit our counties and COM
munities long ages ago had a very
great influence upon our every day
life today.
A glimpse of the topography and
the geological story of Wisconsin is
interesting. The surface reveals a
striking diversity.
West of line drawn from the IL
linois boundary, north to Madison,
and thence northwest to Eau Claire,
lies the western upland" This is
a region with a general summit
elevation about 1900 to 1900 feet
above sea level. The tops of most of
the hills are mainly a fairly hard
dolomite; the flanks and the valley
bottoms are soft, cream-colored and
buff sandstone, mostly covered with
soil and hardwood forest. The main
streams have carved their valleys
four or five hundred feet deep into
this upland, and in this process have
developed scenery of diversified and
rugged beauty.
Patchwork on Hillsides
The sleeper hillsides are a var
iegated picture of open, grassy
"sheep-path" terraced slopes dot
ted with creeping juniper and clumps
of flaming sumach-or of dense
forest growth of oak, walnut, bass
wood, and poplar, with here and there
a dark evergreen to stand out
against the autumn colors; or Of soft
sandstone cliffs chiseled by the wind
and nodded by the rain into fantastic
castellated forms and crowned with
lichen-covered gray do1omite.

Up Topic in Current
Events Program.

The regular meeting OF the Cas-
per Literary club. at the Natrona

region. to study the location and
movements of the most prominent
stars and planets. throughout the
year. on account OF our having sc
many cloudless nights.

ming.
