Destructive Hail Storm Spurs Widespread Losses in Dakota
Reports from Guarton and surrounding counties describe a severe hail storm that struck at 3:30 p.m. damaging homes, barns, and crops across Martin Township and St. Thomas. The storm caused extensive property ruin, including shattered windows and destroyed wheat oats and barley. Estimates place total damage near half a million dollars with thousands of acres of grain ruined and farmers left destitute. Nearby Marshall county and towns like St. Andrews, Argyle, and Middle River also suffered heavy damage with widespread agricultural losses and livestock harm. The incident follows a contrasting political note about veteran pensions and a presidential veto reported in dispatches.
