An event of considerable interest
to baseball fans was the game
staged by the married mems nine

married men lost by a score OF So,
and were forced to pay for the re-
freshments. Joe Huber was the
pitcher for the single men, while
Louis Butler and Verne Soltau did
the hurting for the benedicts. The
married men were quite peeved

TornadoDoes
Damage On
ElrosaFarns
Four Farmers Suffer Wind
Damage-Soo Tracks
Washed Out
FREAK LIGHTNING BOLT
Lyman Prairie School and
Satisfaction At Power
Plant Hit

High winds, electrical storms and
cloudbursts visited communities
south Of Sank Centre Monday
with considerable damage reported
from the Elrosa vicinity. Several
farm buildings were DESTROYED in
q tornado, which was accompanied
by q severe rain and hail.
The storm occurred about 3b
miles south of Elrosa, and the tor
nado did damage in an area about
one-quarter mile wide. Four farm
places were heavily damaged, with
barns, machine sheds and granar-
les among the wrecked structures.
No livestock was lost. The most
severe damage occurred at the JOS.
Speldrich farm. Part of the roof
and chimney of the Catholic
church at Spring Hill also were
torn off.
A heavy rain in the Greenwald
community washed out a section of
the 500 line tracks, making 1t nee
essary for the 500 trains to come
through Sank Centre over the
Great Northern line and to transfer
to the N. p. Railroad here. Accord
ing to reports a heavy rainfall at
Paynesville washed the 500 line
tracks out in that vicinity. Six in
ches Of rain fell in five hours at
Paynesville. Sank Centre suffered
no wind damage, however, a heavy
rain occurred in this community
both Saturday and Monday night.
Among the unusual damages in
Cured in the Monday afternoon
storm was that which was suffered
by the Lyman Prairie school. A
cold bolt" Of lightning struck the
cupola, travelled the length Of the
roof on the metal ridge roll, tore
off the end Of the roof, and then
forking, went down through the
entire south side Of the building,
tearing off much Of the siding and
corner boards and hurting these
from so to 100 feet in all directions.
The lightning tore off lath and
plastering, it cracked the heavy
chimney badly, came down inside
and threw the stove pipe in every
direction, as well as doing con-
siderable amount of damage to the
furnace; it hurled the register
across the room, smashed up the
clock on the front of the building,
and tore up a roll Of maps. 1t also
moved a heavy sill on the west side.
All Of this without causing a spark
Of fire.
G. v. Morse, who viewed the
damaged building, stated that this
bolt caused the most damage he
had ever seen when fire did not
ensue. The loss was fully covered
by insurance
A bolt Of lightning also struck
the sub-station at the local power
plant and blew out the fuses. This
caused considerable interruption of
the service, but there was no ser
ious damage.

The Rev. Mr.. L. e. Kempton,

five years, announced this week
his acceptance to call from Ster-
ling, Colorado. His duties as rec
tor Of that parish will begin about

Of Duluth, and to the Vestry of the
local parish.
In Sterling he will become rec

one hundred and twenty-five COM
municants, and will serve in the
Diocese Of Colorado under Bishop
Co-adjutor Ingley. Sterling is a
city of about seventy-five hundred
inhabitants, and is located in the
northeastern part Of Colorado,
about one hundred and forty miles
from Denver. While the immediate
parish to which he Is going Is not
great deal larger than the one
which he now serves, the policies
of the Bishop Of that Diocese and
the strength Of the Church present
opportunities which are not to be
found in this section Of the coun-
try. On recent trip to Colorado
Mr.. Kempton was struck with the
climate and the opportunities
which the Western field had to Of
fer, and within the next two weeks
decided to accept the call of BIZ
