Wind and storms sweep regions causing widespread damage
A ferocious wind and rain storm raged across Ontario and nearby areas demolishing buildings and uprooting trees. Severe weather damaged crops and farm property in Indiana counties with South Bend and Peru reporting substantial losses. Violent storms followed oppressive heat in central New York, with damage reported at several points. In Cananea Cananea mines, a strike affected operations as Colt W C Greene line miners drifted. The Indiana coal field strike ended as operators and miners accepted the joint scale committee report and work will resume. Maryland Governor Warfield appointed William Pinckney Whyte to fill the Garman Senate vacancy. Illinois Eastern Hospital purchasing agent Charles Armitage testified before the grand jury on three years of state coal purchases. Daniel Szelig, a San Francisco refugee, killed his wife and then himself in St Louis in front of two children. Szelig and wife had been separated for two years.
