The Hail storm last Wednesday evening broke a number of window panes in Glenwood.   The sky light in the Nelson gallery is practically destroyed.  In the P.P. Johnson gallery five panes are broken.  Six large panes are broken in the school house, and a few here and there in other places. 

Steve Thacker of Vancouver, B.C., arrived last Saturday for a few weeks visit with relatives in Glenwood.  Mr. Thacker is a dealer in fruit and garden lands in the West.  He expects to look after the Thacker Bros. store here while his brother takes a vacation.

John Brainerd and Casper Gorder have manufactured a motorcycle.  The machine was made out of an ordinary bicycle.  It was finished last week and is now in use by Mr. Brainerd.

Henry Helgeson returned yesterday morning from a trip to the West Coast. He has been spending the last six weeks in Portland, Ore.  Mr. Helgeson is not especially pleased with the West.  He likes Minnesota and especially Pope County better.

The storm of Wednesday night did considerable damage in this county.  In Glenwood and northeast of the village hail fell.  This destroyed crops in some places totally,  in others only partially.  Those who have suffered losses are:  Julius Lee, Peter Anderson, Mrs. Cooley, Julius Lachelt, Ben William, and Herman Lillienthal, James Hanrahan, Cummins, Ben Peacock, G.T. Boyer, Strom  Bros., and Mr. Jacobs.  C.C. Fisher in Glenwood suffered almost a total loss of his garden truck.  There are undoubtedly others also of whom we have not heard.

Architect Foss of Elbow Lake was here yesterday preparing plans for the new city hall and fire house.

If the crops are as good throughout the whole county as they appear from the road to one who travels westward some seven or eight miles, there is surely no complaint.  The oat and barley harvest is practically over and a number have begun harvesting wheat.  The appearance of the wheat fields indicates that there will be a good yield.  Corn looks splendid.  A few have begun stacking barley.
