A massive hail storm swept from Albin Wyoming to Holyoke Colorado battering hundreds of square miles of wheat fields. The storm caused 50 to 100 percent losses in Kimball and Cheyenne counties and left four million dollars in damage in Kimball and Banner counties.

Cheyenne County faces a likely blanket hike in property assessments for 1953 as total evaluations reach 69.41 million dollars, with 50 percent assessment set at 34.71 million. Railroads and franchises may push the figure toward 39 million, while state action could raise assessments in underassessed farm lands and town lots. Governor Crosby backs uniform county-wide equalization, with hearings opened July 6 to review county handling of assessments.
