TWO KILLED BY CY­CLONE AT ANAMOOSE

Freda Cook's Skull Crushed-Anna Hu-ber Instantly Killed—Many Build­ings Wreckcd—Minot Man There.

Freda Cook, aged eleven years, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Cook of Anamoose, and Anna, the nine-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ludwig Huber, residing five miles north of that city, were instantly killed in a cyclone which visited that section of the state at six o'clock Monday even­ing, leaving death and ruin in its wake.

The cyclone, which did great dam­age to the business section of Ana-moose, started in its work in the southwestern part of the city, coming straight up main street, then leaving the town thru the northeastern portion of the city.

Black clouds had hung over Ana-moose for three hours threatennig their work of destruction, so that when the storm came in all its fury, the main populace were ready for it. C. H. Coar of this city, manager of the Bell Telephone Co., was in Anamoose at. the time. He says the black clouds had churned in the skies for hours and finally the funnel shaped cloud ap­peared, its color being almost white. He remained in the telephone office and persuaded the young woman oper­ator to stay in the building, realizing that it would mean almost certain death to her should she leave. For an hour there was almost total darkness in the town.

The following property damage was done in Anamoose:

Schmidt, Gulack & Heitman Co. gar­age in the process of construction, and which was about two-thirds finished, was completely wrecked.

Near the same building the band stand was wrecked.

About a block from there the big windmill of the Soo Line was blown over.

A number of windows in buildings off of the main street were blown out.

About a dozen telephone posts in the main street and other parts of the town were blown over.

Globes on the Whiteway lamps were smashed.

The office of Joseph Vettel in Main street was moved about three feet.

A number of other buildings were either blown over or entirely wrecked, while as many more are without chim­neys of windows. ' Signs were blown off the buildings

in Main street and there was a general distribution of other smaller things from their appointed places.

The electric light service was sus-. pended for several hours. Lightning

struck some buildings, but no damage came from that source.

The cyclone was followed by several hours of a most terrific electric storm It was said to be the worst windstorm and cyclone, in poin" of damage, ever seen this far north.

The little Cook girl was killed by flying debris from the wrecked hen house. Her mother was in the build­ing at the time it was destroyed, but escaped unharmed, being left on the floor. The flying timbers struck the little girl, killing her almost instantly.

1ST STOCK SHOW BIC SUCCESS

Breeders Say They are Satisfied and Will Return Next Year—Some Fine

Blooded Animals Shown.

The Northwestern Stock Show, be­ing held in this city this week has been pronounced by competent judges to be a thorough success. Not one vis­itor has expressed himself as being dissatisfied, but all say that it is bet­ter than they expected. The breeders taking part in the show appear to be satisfied in every way with the treat­ment that they are receiving at the hands of the management, and they say they will be back next year again.

The attendance has not been all that was desired for the money spent in getting the show in readiness, but even if there is a deficit, Minot has made good once more. The people of Minot have not yet awakened to the fact that Northwestern North Dakota is des­tined to become the home of more blooded stock than any other section of the state, and that the Wonder City will naturally be the city in which to hold the annual shows and sales. The breeders are ready, and it remains for the city to take advantage of a great opportunity.

The horses and cattle are here in force, but the hogs and sheep are lack­ing in numbers, but what there are of these two latter kind of animals is made up in the fine quality of the breeds. This part of the state should have more sheep and hogs, and next year it is hoped that the showing will be much larger than this year.

Judging started the first day, when the Holsteins and Guornseys passed in review. Tuesday the horses had the ring. Wednesday the Shorthorns and Aberdeen Angus cattle had their inn-

Arne Engen, Aug. DeKooper, G. H. Nettleton and J. H. Hebig and sons were in Berthold last Thursday on bus­iness and pleasure.

Many from hereabouts attended a ball game and wrestling match at Ta-gus last Thursday.

We farmers are all proud of our be­loved town Tagus. (?) Tagus showed her good will, her interest in the farm-mers who support her, her love for us can not be doubted (?) since election day, when she cast two (2) votes for Frazier for governor. We are inform­ed that other towns along the line showed a different spirit on election day as the vote stood about fifty-fifty.

The election in Kickapoo Twp. stood as follows. State ticket—No. of bal­lots cast, 32; one ballot total blank; one ballot one vote only, namely, for Casey for State Treasurer, leaving thirty ballots which resulted as fol­lows: For Governor, Smith 0, Fraine 1, Burdick 3, Frazier 24; Lieutenant Gov., Sorlie 6. Kraabel 22; Secretary of State, Hjort 1, Hall 26; State Aud­itor, Jorgenson 3, Kositzky 24; Atty.

Aug. DeKooper is having a serious time with a lame back.

Arne Engen brot home a new spring wagon from Tagus Saturday.

Quite a serious cacident occurred at Lake Upsilon on the Fourth of July when Dr. H. M. Erenfeld of this city struck a stump in the woods while driving his large touring car at a fair rate of speed. All of the occupants were thrown out and while no one was seriously injured, all were more or less bruised.

The wife of Dr. C. C. Nugent of this city was thrown out of the car and bruised. Mrs. Nugent fainted away but was soon revived. The wife of Dr. Nugent of Harvey with her four-tteen-months-old son were thrown out as well and the babe was quite badly injured. The mother sustained a cut on the head. The victims were given medical attention immediately and were able to return to this city Wed­nesday.

The Erenfeld car did not overturn and the doctor displayed considerable presence of mind.

Bernt Solberg, a prominent farmer north of the city, left for his old home, Northwood, N. D., Wednesday, where he has entered a hospital. He will submit to an operation for appendi­citis.

PRETTY WEDDING AT TUFVESON HOME

Miss Ida Selma Tufveson Joined in Holy Wedlock to Rev. Erik J. Fors-

berg, of San Diego, Cat.

Miss Ida Selma Tufveson, only-daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Nels Tufve­son, was united in mariage Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock to Rev. Erik Johann Forsberg, of San Diego, Cal.

The ceremony was performed by Rev. Nicolay Nilsen, pastor of the Zion Lutheran church, in the presence of only the immediate relatives and a few intimate friends.

Promptly at four o'clock, Miss The­resa Hegge at the piano struck up the strains of Lohengrin's wedding march. The minister and the groom, with his best man, were the first to enter the room. The groom was attended by Thure Erickson, of Overly, N. D., a cousin of the bride. The bridesmaid, Miss Nettie Hanson, a cousin of the bride, came next and the bride follow­ed alone. The ceremony was simple, yet very impressive.

The bride, who is a very attractive young woman, wore a gown of cream taffeta with an overdress of all-over lace, trimmed with cream satin. She wore a beautiful^ lavalier of pearls and diamonds, the gift from the groom, and carried a shower bouquet of bride's roses.

The bridesmaid wore an attractive salmon colored gown of pussy willow taffeta with an over-dress of Georgette ciepe with silver trimmings. She car­ried pink peonies.

The beautiful Tufveson home was prettily decorated in pink and white with bouquets of peonies and carna­tions and palms and ferns everywhere.

The wedding dinner was served at 5 o'clock in five courses. The tables were prettily decorated with pink and white carnations and ferns with the three tier wedding cake in the center.

The happy couple will leave for the west Friday. They will visit with sis­ters of the groom at Spokane and Se­attle and will travel by boat from Se­attle to San Diego, where they will

I be at home ofter Sept. 1. j The bride has lived in' Minot prac­tically all of her life. She is a charm­ing young woman and will be a valu-

• able helpmeet to the man of her choice. I The groom is pastor of the Swedish Mission at San Diego. He is a young minister with a brilliant future. The couple met at San Diego where the Tufveson family has spent a number of winters.

The Independent joins the many friends of the couple in extending very best wishes for a happy life in the west.

WAI1IN AN INDE­PENDENT CANDIDATE

Figures That Unfair Methods Were Used in the City of Minot Causing

His Defeat at Primaries.

John Wallin, who was a candidate for the nomination for county treas­urer on the republican ticket in the primaries, informs the Independent that he will be an independent candi­date for this office in the November election.

Mr. Wallin gives as his reason that he figures that he was not fairly beat­en for the fact that influence brot to bear on certain elements in the city of Minot on election day. He points with pride to the fact that he received a nice majority in the country precincts and he believes that had he received the treatment he deserved in the city, he would have been nominated.

H. R. Larson Sells Tailor Shop. H. R. Larsen has disposed of his

tailor shop in this city to Martin Fret-tem. Mr. Larson has filed on a valu­able homestead a half mile from San-ish and will go to that up-to-date res­ervation city to establish a clothing store and tailor shop. Mr. Larson is a first class tailor and a good, honest, hard-working businessman.

Mr. Brey, who has been connected with the Ideal Tailoring Co., will manage Mr. Frettem's shop.

TO LEAVE THE CITY Zion Lutheran Pastor Will Not Recall

His Resignation Filed Recently— Goes to Willmar, Minn.

Rev. Nicolay Nilsen, pastor of the Zion Lutheran church in this city for the past fifteen years, has definitely decided to leave Minot. His resignation has been handed to the board to take effect early in the fall, when he will go*to Wilmar, Minn., where he has ac­cepted a call.

Rev. Mr. Nilsen came to Minot when this city had a population of only a thousand. He has seen the city grow to be one of the foremost in the west, and he has done his share in its up­building. The members of his congre­gation and the residents of Minot and vicinity in general will see Rev. Nilsen and his wife leave most reluctantly.

Willmar is a city of 7,000 population and the Zion Lutheran congregation in that city is very large. The church is r. fine structure and Mr. Nilsen will have ideal conditions for his work.

AUTO ACCIDENT Quite a serious accident occured at

both of them insurance men, figured in an interesting auto accident on the viaduct the evening of the Fourth. Macumber was coming up the viaduct with McLane. behind nim and stopped his car, the brake failed to work. His car backed into McLane's auto, both machines being damaged.

McLane Returns to Minot. A. F. McLane, who recently located

in Sioux City, fa., where he took charge of a territory for a larg ? insur­ance company, has returned to Minot, where he will engage in the insurance business again. It is possible that he will take up the work with his old company. Mr. McLane states that he does not like the Iowa city and thot it best to return to Minot at once. He is one of North Dakota's most capable insurance men and the many friends of the McLane family are glad to learn that they are locating here again.

North Dakota Regiment Inoculated. Arthur Goodrich received a post

card from Hugh Taylor, one of the members of Co. D. Hugh says the regiment at Fort Lincoln has been in­oculated against typhoid fever. The boys stood the ordeal fairly well, but it gave them all the head ache. The boys are training hard and are about ready to go to tne Mexican border if called. .• "

Lovers of the national game have been treated to a series of games on the local diamond during the past week that would do ci'edit to a town twice the size of Burlington. On Thursday evening our boys played the Des Lacs-team, winning hands down, score 4 to 0. The next day we defeated the fast Berthold team by a score of 5 to 1. In the game with Des Lacs Walt Potter pitched for Burlington and did some mighty effective work, allowing the visiting team but four hits. In the game with Berthold Neff occupied the mound for our boys. His record shows 17 strikeout and three hits. He had excellent support in this game. E. B Wallace was in fine form and the way he heaved the pill across-to second was a marvel to the Berthold team who have been up against nothing faster than the Minot aggregation this sea­son. Amundson at first was on the job every minute. Dan Conan, the 'Big Chief," played short, and his playing made every "old timer" present shout with joy as Dan "nailed" every ground er that came anywhere within speak­ing distance. The denizens of No Man's Land, horse thieves, whist play­ers and yarn spinners were out in force to every game.

Mrs. Zenith Spires has returned from Joliet, 111., where she has been the guest of her son, Dr. L. E. Spires and family during the past winter. Mrs. Spires says she is glad to get lack where she can enjoy again the bracing breezes of the Dakotas.

H. T. Hogy returned on Monday from Glenwood, Minn., where he went last week to attend the wedding of a niece, Miss Lettie Hogy. Mr. Hogy was accompanied by Miss Hazel Hogy, who remained for a few days' visit with relatives before returning home.

The Misses Myrtle Hogy, Grace Johnson, Rolla and George Johnson re­turned Saturday from a trip down the Great Lakes from Duluth to Buffalo, visiting the cities of Chicago, Detroit and Cleveland enroute. The young people had a very enjoyable trip and are enthusiastic in their praise of boat travel. The party was joined at Min­neapolis by Miss Laura Randall who made the trip with them, stopping off at the Twin Cities on the way home where she will spend her vacation with relatives.

Mr. and Mrs. P. H. Kraemer of Long Prairie, Minn., parents of Mrs. Herb Yuly, who have been guests at the Yuly home for the past four weeks, returned home Thursday morning. Mr.

Kraemer expressed much interest in the prospects of this section of the state, and says that crop conditions are much better here than in Minnesota. This is Mr. Kraemer's fourth trip here to visit the Yuly's and we anticipate that about the next time he comes west he will conclude to share his lot with the Dakotans.

O. L. Spires has moved his family into the residence vacated by the Joe Wistrom family on Western avenue.

Fred Sartwell and family have mov­ed into the Hathaway cottage near the livery barn. This house has been repainted and other improvements made, putting it in first class shape.

The Soo depot has been treated to a fresh coat of paint and the section house has also been embellished with the same colored liquid, thus even the Soo Line is keeping step with the pro­gress of events in this community.

Painters are at work giving the Gun-der Livingston residence on east Col-len avenue a fresh coat of paint . The Tufte bungalow is getting the same treatment. Soon there will not be a building in town left unpainted.

Harry Miller has a fine new nine-room house on the north side nearly ready to occupy. This looks mighty suspicious, Harry. We are inclined to think the janitor at the "Little Church Around the Corner" should get busy and have the bell rope in good condi­tion.

Mrs. George Wood and children are visiting relatives at Harvey this week. During the absence of Mrs. Wood George is subsisting on an assortment of doughnuts, pancakes and other vi­ands which he has been keeping in cold storage since last summer. We rather suspect that the reason the 'Little Ger­man Band' hasn't met for rehearsal this week is because the members are fearful that George will "spring" the effects of his culinary efforts upon them.

The hardware man says the demand for padlocks has been unprecedented during the past week. All residents with a collection of choice spring poultry are taking extra precautions since the advent of Ed Kelley and John Ehr at No Man's Land. These two are said to be very keen for fried chicken.

Jim Johnson is said to be high man at all the whist games at No Man's Land this summer. The new electric lights are a big advantage to the boys this year, and Frank Kirkelie and Ed Skinner and some of the boys who have been inclined to keep a few aces up their sleeves can't work their old game as in former years when the lighting facilities were not so good, and their misdeeds went undetected. Jim says that an honest man stands some show now.

All the old "boys and gals" are get­ting in trim for the big Horse Thieves' dance which is scheduled for some night near 2the close of the annual festivities. The grounds were never in better shape than they are this sea­son. Weather conditions have impair­ed the fun somewhat, but on the whole those who are encamped on the de­lightful grounds of No Man's Land this year say they are having the best time they have ever had.

Everyone misses Martin Jacobson this year as his genial presence has al­ways contributed so largely to the pleasures of the Old Settlers in years gone by.

A general neighborhood picnic was enjoyed at the John Halvorson grove or the Fourth. Practically every res­ident from the south side was there with the little folks together with a generous supply of eatable*. Never was a day spent more pleasurably. as those must know who have ever enjoy­ed the hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. Hal­vorson.

Alvin Wallace was selected to um­pire the big game between North and South Prairie at Minot on the Fourth. Alvin at one time was considered one of the best players in this section, and is still one of the best posted men we have on the standings of the leading teams and the merits of the players. North Prairie won by a score of 13 to 5. Kells, who pitched for North Prai­rie, put plenty of speed and a good wide curve on the sphere, his work being too classy for the southerners.

Mrs. Jennie Devol and daughter. Miss Norma Devol, attended the cele­bration at the "Wonder City" on the Fourth and were agreeably surprised at the splendid manner in which the enormous crowds were handled. They were delighted at the magnificence of Minot's parks, saying that the east has few park systems which surpass in beauty and size the parks of the "Won­der City." Mrs. Devol is the guest of her parents, Judge and Mrs. J. S. Wallace, and expects to remain here for some time, being joined later in the season by Mr. Devol, whose business duties at Huntington, W. Va., will not permit his leaving home at the present time.

Today a jolly party left here bound for the lakes of Minnesota where for the next two weeks they will fish, feast and otherwise disport themselves, for­getting for a time that this sordid old world ever contained such things as care or troubles to worry them. They will go direct to Glenwood and from there will journey to the beautiful lakes which lie in every direction. The party was made up of Mrs. Brigham of Stanley, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Jacobson and family. Miss Tillie Jacobson, Mrs. Justin Miller, Alvin Miller, Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Madson, Dr. and Mrs. F. J. Christie.

Mrs. C. L. Smith and family were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. J. Y. Millar several days last week.

Miss Tillie Jacobson, who has been at Minot for the past three weeks, re­turned Thursday and will leave with the party of pleasure seekers for the Minnesota lakes Thursday.

FARM BUILDINGS ST WOE

Monday Evening's Twister Carried Away Large Houses and Barns—No

One Injured—Fund for Victims

A terrible cyclone did in the neigh­borhood of $10,000 damage in the vi­cinity of Simcoe, 22 miles southeast of Minot on the Minot-Fargo cut-off, about six o'clock Monday evening. The following farmers sustained damage estimated as follows:

Andrew Stranberg, house and barn, $2,500.

John Ihley, house and barn, $2,000. John Kemp, new barn, $2,000. John Mullen, barn wrecked and gar­

age lost,$l,000. Other damage done in the vicinity

will bring the loss up to $10,000 or over. Fortunately no lives were lost and no stock is reported to have been killed.

The clouds could be seen gathering for some time and finally the twister appeared in all of its fury. It took an el-shaped course and came with a ter­rific rumbling and roar.

thewasafies-John Ihley, assessor of Hendrickson

township, McHenry county, where the storm operated, suffered the greatest loss. His house was unroofed and all of the clothing from the rooms on the second floor was carried away. The men were away but the women folks were in the house. The home was practically ruined. A terrific down­pour followed the cyclone, drenching the women, but they were not injured. Mr. Ihley's fine barn, 32x40 was car­ried away. The only trace that can be found of it, are a few splinters scat­tered over the field. The windmill was torn down.

The funnel-shaped cloud next visited the John Mullen farm, removing the large barn from the foundation and carrying away the garage completely. The auto was left standing, with only the fender damaged slightly. The stock in the barn were not hurt.

Andrew Strandberg had almost fin­ished a fine large house. This was blown away together with the old barn, leaving the old house standing undamaged.

John Kemp's mammoth new barn 32x60 feet was blown away.

Andrew Lindquist, who watched the progress of the storm, says that the cyclone dropped suddenly to earth taking everything in its path. Six inches of rain followed the cyclone, filling the Hendrickson flat. The neigh­bors are making up a large fund for Mr. Ihley, who appears to have suffer­ed the most damage.

W. A. Moran and Frank Eicher of this city, who own farms in that vicin­ity, drove out Wednesday to view the work of the storm.

Sunday School Picnic at Livingston's j Grove. ! The annual Sunday school picnic for . the students of the Parochial school j which has been held in McKinley town-• ship, will be held at the Edward Liv-j ingston farm nine miles northwest of ; Minot Sunday afternoon. A cordial [ invitation will be extended to the pub-| lie. A lunch and ice cream will be

served.

MISS STOCKWELL IS A JULY BRIDE

Daughter of Prominent Pioneer Fam­ily Weds Frank Bennett at

Episcopal Parish.

Miss Ethel Stockwell, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Perry Stockwell of Bur­lington, who are among the oldest and most highly respected Ward coun­ty settlers, was united in marriage Monday evening to Frank Bennett. The ceremony was performed at the parish of Alf Saints Episcopal church by the pastor. Rev. Jas. N. MacKenzie, at 8 o'clock. Those who witnessed the pretty ceremony were Sirs. Stockwell, mother of the bride, Mrs. J. B. Reed, Mrs. A. Scarlett and Mrs. Bennett, mother of the groom.

The groom formerly resided at Brainerd, Minn. He came to this city several years ago and now holds a re­sponsible position with the Soo Rail­way Co. He is a steady young man and well liked. The bride is a grad­uate of the Minot College of Com­merce, completing a course in stenog­raphy and bookkeeping. She has been employed by the Scarlett Office Supply Co. for some time, where her services are considered most valuable. She is a young woman of many admirable qualities and the Independent joins the many friends of the couple in extend­ing felicitations.

The Ford car, like the wily Chinese, "for ways that are strange and tricks that are vile," is peculiar. The latest thing that has been called to our at­tention is a Ford car owned near Don-nybrook which has a pair of cow pokes strapped on the wheels in lieu of chains. They are said to be giving the best of satisfaction, too.
