PRICE FIVE CENTS CROPS, BUILDINGS AND AUTOMOBILES REPORTED DAMAGED One Death Indirectly Attribut- ed to Disturbance as Horse Kicks Man MANY DISTRICTS AFFECTED Livestock and Poultry Killed as Clouds Shower Missiles on Countryside Crops, buildings and automobiles were damaged and poultry and some livestock were killed by a hail storm which struck northeastern Burleigh county and other sections of central North Dakota late after- noon, One death was attributed to the storm indirectly. Alf Moen, 27, son of Mr. and Mrs. Hans P. Moen of near Balta, was killed instantly when he was kicked in the head by a horse which had been frightened by the hailstones. A few moments later the father and another son, John, nar- rowly escaped death when a barn was blown down as they stood in its door- way. The elder Moen suffered a cut over the left eye. Several Separate Storms As far as could be learned Wednes- day, the main disturbance struck first in Sheridan county, cut across the corner of Burleigh and into Kidder and dissipated its strength about eight miles west of Jamestown, Stuts- man county. Other storms were re- ported in Pierce and McHenry coun- ties. An incomplete survey indicated it to be one of the hardest hail storms clared they were as large as base- balls. Many farmers said their crops were wiped out completely and that crop losses over @ large area would average 90 per cent. This was the preliminary estimate of one adjuster for the state hail insurance depart- ment. The hail was driven: by a high wind which contributed to the loss, the roof of a store at Lake Williams being torn off and other buildings damaged. Big as Hen’s Eggs Herman Kleve, insurance adjuster was among those who said the hai) stones were as large as hen's eggs. He said he visited one farm before the storm and returned s few hours later to find the crops flattened. Automobiles were damaged at Robinson with holes punched in their tops by the force of the descending stones. Livestock in some sections of Kid- der county were reported killed by the hail. With the passing of the storm which raged for more than a half- hour, breaking on Robinson shortly after 5 p. m., farmers viewed crop lands which “looked as if they had been ploughed under.” ‘Best’ Field Destroyed ‘Two acres of corn, grown by Law- rence Legler, 15, and declared to be the “best 4-H crop of corn in the of! a storm traveling from county” was destroyed near Robin- son by hail. On the farm of William Trautman, four miles southwest of Robinson, the barn, chicken coops and granary were reported destroyed by hail. More than 10 turkeys and 100 chickens on the Trautman farm were killed. More than 50 windows were reported tc have been smashed in Robinson by the stones.
