Storm wrecks towns as Minnesota blackout sinks many
A massive storm swept southern Minnesota last Wednesday, tearing through farms and rural towns with lightning and wind. At Lake Manska a 19 year old was killed. Wenzel Schneberich and Isaac Nelson lost livestock and property. Homes were struck, chimneys shattered, and a rural cloudburst forced families from their houses. Throughout the region near Jackson to Minnesota Lake, Wells, and Sleepy Eye, buildings collapsed or were wrecked, trees uprooted, and trains disrupted. In county towns, civic events and local notices fill the day after the disaster with reports on damages and community responses.

Keith's Case Continued in Supreme Court Retrial Set
Wesley Keith, convicted of abducting ten year old Nora Greenslitt, remains in contention as the supreme court grants a new trial and orders retrial at the June term. Defense efforts to spirit away key witnesses hinder proceedings, while County Attorney Seward seeks a December continuance. Judge Webber rejects bail reduction, keeping $5,000 bond. County Attorney Robertson praises President Harrison as a capable leader and noted Indiana ties.

Two Convicts Sentenced to Stillwater for Assault and Robbery
In Marshall last week Judge Webber disposed of charges against two men named Fuller and McCammond who pleaded guilty to assault in the first degree and robbery. Fuller received ten years and McCammond seven years at Stillwater. The crime occurred last November in Ts, when laborer James Dean was knocked down and nearly killed. Fuller, from Dakota, had been a cowboy. McCammond, a Wisconsin native, worked as an engineer at Tracy Roller Mills. Both were taken to Stillwater Tuesday night by Sheriff Remore and Marshal Christianson.
