MORGAN SILO COLLAPSED
Six Horses, Bull Killed When
Barn Collapsed at Jackson
Farm Saturday

= Thousands of dollars of property
damage was done late Saturday in
western and central parts of Redwood
county by a tornado, high wind and
hail. Two inches Of rain fell in Red
wood Falls that evening and compar-
able amounts in most sections of the
county. Where they escaped hail and
wind, thousands of acres of corn suf-
fering from drouth were saved by the
rain.
Situated on the west end of the tor
nado's trail, the James a. Jackson
farm, nine miles southwest of Red
wood Falls on the Wabasso road, was
hardest hit of any reported in the
area.
Eight horses, IL calves, one bull
and some hogs and poultry were trap
ped beneath the barn as it collapsed,
buried under tons of hay and timbers.
Two of the horses were rescued APP
parently unhurt while the other six,
the bull and most of the smaller
stock were killed. Fortunately no
member of the family was in the barn
at the time. Mr.. Jackson left for the
house about five minutes before the
crash. No cows were yet in the barn
although preparations were being
made for milking.
Before the tornado's funnel reached
the barn it cleared out five large cot
tonwood trees on the west side of the
house. The trees were blown COM
pletely down along with many small
err trees. The cattle shed, east Of the
barn, was twisted badly out of shape.
Other buildings were unframed.
Get Real Thrill
Hugh Bryan and son, Earl, receiv-
ed moments thrill when they were
milking in their barn eight miles
south of Redwood Falls in New Avon
township. Mr.. Bryan leaned against
a post as the storm was raging and
felt it give with the wind. He glanc-
ed up at the ceiling and saw it NOV
ing. He and his son hurried to the
end of the barn and waited by the
door until the storm was over. The
barn chung to it's foundation.
Two horses on the Arthur McCork-
ell farm, located mile and one-half
west of the Jackson farm, barely
escaped injury or death when the
same wind completely wrecked the
barn and strewed pieces On all parts
of the farm. The horses were left
standing in their stalls, unframed.
The windmill was blown to the ground
and several windows in the house

Explains Plan

The sewage question in Redwood
Falls which has been discussed sever

sumo of the financing plan by John
Brueske, alderman from the first
ward.
Mr.. Brueske told league members
that the entire project would be fin
anced by money from the government,
80 per cent of the money or $4,000 be-
ing donated and the remaining $14,-
900 loaned at four per cent interest
over a period of 80 years.

foot minnow net to seine fish from
the North Redwood bass pond and
put them in Lake Redwood.

the league from up the Redwood riv-
er, fshway will be built in the Rock
damn, four miles up the river so fish
