bank who with members of the board
of directors met in Omaha Thurs
day.
Governor Bailey said that crops
are spotted somewhat due to exces

moisture," he said. But taking it
as a whole the general business con

Creston, Neb., June 27. Crops
were destroyed over an area four
miles wide and more than eight miles
long by a severe hailstorm, last
night. A twister followed which
wrecked several farm buildings "east
and west of Creston. Damage to crop
will run. into thousands of dollars.
Ooats and corn crops were pounded
into the ground by the hail. At one
time hail eight inches deep covered
the highway between Creston and
Humphrey.
The twister struck one mile south
(Of Creston on the Leonard Hamel
farm, where it lifted a chicken house
into the telephone wires. All shingles
on the house were torn away.
Barn Swept Away.
On an adjoining farm, owned by
George Daniels, a new cow barn was
lifted off its foundation.
At the farm of Mrs. Minnie Gor
man tops of trees were sheared off.
The new house of Ernest Wiaer
man was badly damaged by the hail.
All windows were broken and the
water poured into the rooms. Oat
crops on all these farms were totally
destroyed.
All farmers living south of Hum
phrey in the bottoms suffered con
siderable damage from the hail.
Creeks overflowed their banks and
inundated pastures. Water raced
over the highway east and west of
Creston.
Five Horses Killed.
At West Point, five horses were
burned to death when lightning hit
the barn on the August Goranfen
place.
Following an eight-hour delay due
to a washout one mile north of Hub
bard, the fith one at that place this
year, train service on the M. & O.
line between Norfolk and Sioux City
was resumed today.
Rain washed out a section of track
on the si. & u. line near 1'ender.
Trains were delayed for hours.
HAVE A REAL GAME
On Sunday afternoon at the Fred
Kahler farm west of Murray occurred
a real baseball game staged between
the ladies of the locality, one team
representing the Luther League of
Eight Mile Grove while the other
team was selected from the ladies
of that community. The contest de
veloped into quite a hitting bee with
Miss Senf scoring two of the big
gies while Mrs. Emma Rohloff was
responsible for another of the cir
cuit drives. The scorekeeper was un
able to supply the score of the game
but the event was one of the greatest
of interest to all of the friends of
the two teams that had gathered at
the Kahler home for the game.
from Thursduy's Daily
The many friends of the L. L. Pick
ett family in this city will regret to
learn that Mrs. Marjorie Pickett
Campbell, a daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Pickett is in the hospital at
Omaha where she was taken yester
day for treatment and will probably
have to undergo an operation the
first part of the coming week. The
young lady has not been in the best
of shape for some time and it is
hoped that the operation may result
in her improvement.

The log cabin recently leased by
the American Legion, and which is
located on the Mrs. Bertha Shopp
farm land southeast of the city, is
to be used during a portion of the'
summer as a camping place for the
Legion Boy Scout troop which now
has a very large membership.
Scoutmaster Raymond Larson has
given much of his time to promotion
of Scout activities among the mem
bers of the Legion troop during the
past six months and his efforts have
been rewarded by great advancement
among the individual members.
In acquiring possession of the
cabin, the Legion has had two ideas;
uppermost in mind, first to provide!
a place where the Scout troop could i
spend a week in the open, under the;
leadership of a competent instructor I
and aide, and second, to provide a 1
picnic and recreation grounds for j
Legionnairs and members of their (
families during the time it was not
being occupied by the Scouts. 1
Due to the large number in the
Legion Scout troop, it is likely the
ramping parties will have to be
divided into groups, so that each
boy may be given opportunity to en
joy at least a few days roughing it
in the open.

most of these are now occupied by

The Olson building at Third and Main

In the last few days Mr. Davis has
rented the building in the middle of
the block from Third to Fourth on
Main street to George Petri ng for

a heretoiore unoccupieu structure
and which will make another live

has caused some needed improve

In this work Mr. Davis is to be
commended and with a few months
of this successful management the

some benefits to the stockholders as
the property is gradually made into
