Fargo, N. D., Aug. 21.—Over
a million dollars damage was done
to property in cities in the northern
central district here by the dol-

With tremendous violence the two
whirlwinds met and scattered dev-

dreds of people have been killed
and injured, and the search for
bodies is in progress.

Antler and West Hope

One of the cyclones swept over
the cities of Antler and West
Hope razing every building in

them to the ground. Two iundred
people were injured here, and the
searchers at the time of wiring

bodies. Many more are believed

all the necessary rights had been

he was expecting money from

writing and had specimens of it
