He'll run affairs

ceremonies which took place in this city last
Monday, when the new and splendid Hall of
Odd Fellowship lately erected on Seventh

concourse Of spectators, who were brought
hither from various States and cities where
the order exists and exerts beneficial in
huence.
ut Is ascertained that there were not less
than thousand Odd Fellows in the procession,
which, when formed into line, was about three

FALLS AND FLATTENS CIRCUS

Great Falls, June, 3.-One of the
worst storms in the history of this
section swept down upon Great Falls

airplanes, tore the main tent of the
Christy Brothers circus from the
ground, disrupted telephone and cleo
trio service, and damaged buildings,
bill boards and street lights.
Confusion reigned on the circus
grounds when the massive tent went
Hopping in the high wind that was
accompanied by hail, rain and snow,
Elephants and horses ran wild, adding
to the terror of the men, women and
children who scrambled for shelter
and safety. Despite the stampeding
and wild herding Of the animals, no
injuries were reported.
Two airplanes at the Vance airport
were lifted by the wind, rolled many
times and demolished.
The city was without telephone
service as line crews hastily strung
emergency wires. Electric light crews
attempted to light a large part
of the city that WAS in darkness.
Wires and poles were strewn in the
streets. Billboards were toppled over,
store windows blown off and one store
front completely lifted from the
building as the tornado-like wind
swept over the city.
Approximately an inch Of moisture,
rain, snow and hail, fell during the
storm.--Interlake Daily.
