                        Details Lacking
                        
              Detroit, Mich (*see note)., June 10 - The tornado
            yesterday afternoon swept across the northwestern
            part of the county and, while owing to the distance
            from here and poor communications, details are yet
            meager. It is certain that three or four persons were
            killed and a property loss of $60,000 occasioned. Mrs.
            O. BERG was killed and the farm houses of the following
            were destroyed: ARNEK KNOUTSON, HENRY LYSNE, SAM HOUGE,
            JOHN GUNDERSON, JOHN MOREZ, S. O. MOSSALY, PAUL SMEAK,
            OLE JOHNSONBERG, A. SPORICK and JOHN BERG. It is prob-
            able that some of the inmates were killed, though
            names are not yet at hand. The Norwegian Lutheran
            church at Atlanta was destroyed. OLE JOHNSONBERG
            and his son were picked up and carried a quarter
            of a mile by the storm, but were uninjured.
            
            {*transcriber note. Printing error places this tornado
              at Detroit, Mich., but it was certainly in Detroit
              (Lakes), Minn.}
