Telegram to the Globe. 1 Cle.ui Lake, Wis., Sept. .■■— Twenty-four hours a<j;o this was a thrifty village of 1,500 j inhabitants. We had churches. schools, busi- ( ness houses and comfortable, happy homes. I Now we arc in chaos. There is nothing but ruin — ruin everywhere. The cyclone's ! breath has spirited away the roofs from o'er ; our heads and laid three of our number dead at our feet as a ghastly reminder of its ter- i rible work. Last night at a few minutes j after 0 o'clock, just as the villagers were sit ting down to their evening meal, the wind swooped down upon Clear Lake, set it trembling for a moment and then scattered It in a million fragments over a thousand : fields. It seemed to those iv the midst of j the catastrophe like from three to five mm- j utes from the beginning to the end of the blowing, but at such a time every moment j seems an age, and probably the cyclone lasted I not more than two minutes. It was mov ing directly east, covered about half a mile, and swept every tree, fence, haystack, house and barn from its track. It even cut the grass as clean as would a lawn mower. During those awful momenta of suspense one could not see a foot in front of one's i face. When the storm had passed the streets : were bo filled with debris that they were | utterly impassable for teams, and footmen could only g^t along by climbing from timber to timber of the dismembered dwell ings and business houses. Houses, barns, smoke stacks, etc., were blown about iv such a promiscuous manner that it seems like a miracle that a score of people were not killed outright, but a roll call to-night shows only three dea<?. Mrs. P. BurdicK the wife of the post 'l master, was lying o*n a lounge in her dwell ing at the evil hour, and she was crushed by j falling timbers. Willie Kavanagb, son of J. J. Kavanagh, j and bookkeper for W. RJ Ingalls, was at work at his desk in the store when the building fell up-.*s*Tj[iu7* r ' A. 11. Saunders, a clerk in the same establishment, was also found dead under the ruins. .Mr. Jacob Martin, living about three miles southeast of town, had two children blown from his house, and they have not yet been heard from. At New Richmond a house was blown from its foundation, and after the storm the babe was found in the cellar with a trunk on it. The child was not hurt, but the mystery is how it got in the cellar. A great many persons were more or less seriously injured in Clear Lake village, but it was difficult yesterday, in the generally chaotic condition of things, to find out names and nature of injuries. Mr. B. W. Smith, a member of the firm of Smith iV Lewis, coal and wood dealers of St. Paul, was in their branch store at Clear Lake at the time of the storm, and had a narrow escape from death. He was standing near a stove, and dodged or fell behind it when the timbers began to fall. The latter fell against the stove and formed a roof over Mr. Smith, thus saving his life. He was bruised on the nose and left arm. A peculiar freak was played by the gtorm upon Mr. Smith's store. It cut the building olf just under the second floor :is clean as could have been done by a good carpenter with a saw, and set the upper story in the street. Nothing was injured in this part of the house. Even the bed was as neatly spread as if it had just been attended to by a careful housewife. Two clerks in the store with Mr. Smith escaped to the cellar without being injured. Waller Lewis, a clerk in the drug and jew elry store of A. A. Briggs, was fastened across a counter and seriously injured. His face and bead were also terribly cut. The Methodist, Congregational and Swed ish Lutheran churches are in ruins. The postollice building is a complete wreck. W. C. Ingalls' general merchandise estab lishment, together with a new stock of goods valued at $10,000,18 razed to the ground.and the goods are utterly ruined. Other complete wrecks are: W. C. MeCarty's merchandise establish ment, P. Bur '.. ■.'- billiard hall and iyejum, A. A. Briggs 1 drug store, 11. A. Schulze's. general store, A. Syme & Co.'s general store. Smith «fc Lewis had three barns blown down, and their store was wrecked as stated above. Their loss is about $4,000. John E. Glover's smoke stacks were blown down, his planing and saw mills unroofed and his lumber scattered to the four corners of the earth. Mr. Glover estimates his loss at $100,000. The buildings partially destroyed are: E. T. Lotz's furniture store, J. Wall's blacksmith shop. Church Bros.' wasron shop, St. Charles hotel, Clear Lake house, A. Syms & Co,'s stave sheds, Dr. Goodwin's office and buildings of J. Rickers and J. C. Gillett. Besides the foregoing, a large number of bouses, generally dwellings, were reduced to various stages of demoralization. The house of Mrs. Clark, a widow, was torn all to pieces and scattered about the streets. The lady was fortunately away from home. An illustration of the terrific force of the ■rind is found in the fact that 4x6 scantlings ' were driven through walls so rapidly that they cut holes as smooth and commensurate with the size of the missiles as bullets cut in pass ii: g through wood. Passing eastward, the storm did great havoc in the agricultural region. At Clay ton, three mites east Of Clear Lake, John A. Humbert & Co.'s planing mills and lumber were damaged $10,000. John E. Glover's mills, as soon as repairs can be made, will be set at work preparing lumber for the rebuilding of Clear Lake vil lage, and Mr. Glover bays no more orders j will be filled for general customers until the j villagers are safely under roofs again. Bill Nye, the celebrated humorist, played a tragic pirt in this storm. 'With his brother Frank he was traveling by team, and was ; three miles east of Clear Lake when the cy- , clone began its pranks. The humorist was blown violently from his ' wagon and both bones of his right leg were broken just be low the knee. Trees and fences were flying in the air on all sides, but neither of the brothers was hit by them. The highway, however, was impassable. On discovering that his brother was disabled, Frank Nye went to Clear Lake, secured a gang of men with crosscut saws and axes and began cut ting a passage way in pioneer fashion. They j made a team road a mile and a half, but the men became so exhausted they could go no further with their work. Four of them then walked the remainder of the distance and carried Bill Nye on their shoulders to the wagon. An hour later the wounded man was borne into the office of Dr. Goodwin, of Clear Lake, and the neglected leg set. It was, therefore, six hours from the time of the accident before the limb was given sur gical attention and a good portion of this time the gentle William was lying by the I roadside alone. Bill Nye, however, will not I down. He was brought to Hudson, his I home, on the Omaha train late yesterday af- I ternoon, and he was cracking jokes at the i I train officials all the way. I ■William Kavanagh, who was killed, was book keeper and general salesman for W. R. . In gulls, and was about eighteen years of age. ' He was here in St. Paul last winter, where ' he attended the commercial college. The ; deceased was the son of James Kavanagh, brother of P. T. Kavanagh, of this city. The latter received a letter from his brother, which says: ''The cyclone struck the vil lage a little before 6 o'clock this evening. , All the principal business houses are blown : away, and hardly a house escaped more or less damage. If this was all it would not be quite so bad; but unfortunately there were ! three lives lost, one of whom was our dear : son Willie. We have just recovered his body from the ruins. I have not seen him yet. j His body is sadly crushed, and friends are > just now laying out and washing his body in the wagon shop before taking him to his home. On the St. Crolx. [Special Correspondence of the Globe. | Stillwateb, Sept 10. — On Tuesday even ing about five o'clock a dark green cloud was seen moving north and east of Stillwater, in a continuous black wall some t^uty degrees above the horizon, with serrated edges hang ing downward, while above were parallel belts of less density. The cloud struck all with awe, but few thought that the storm king was there in all his power. About ten minutes past five there was a rapid move ment of the cloud, and it burst with unex ampled fury upon the country north and west of this city. During the evening ru mors began to circulate of the damage done. coupled with loss of life, but so far there have been no fatal results, although one or two are very seriously injured, and 'quite a number slightly. The miraculous escapes were numerous, and the only wonder is, that we have not to chronicle the dead by scores. Yesterday morning a Gloke representa tive left for Marine to see the real state of affairs, as the rumors of the losses were so various, and we wished to give a statement to the public of things just as they are. So far as this city itself is concerned, the wind storm did little or no damage, except a little to fences andto the tents at the fairgrounds. The first intimation we had of the winds fury was found at the ravine above the boom, where several large trees wen; unloosed from the sides of the cliff and precipitated into the gully below, crushing in their descent some telephone poles and breaking the wire, thus cutting off communication with Marine. About three miles from the city the path of the cyclone could be easily seen, passing from the southwest to the northeast, large trees being cut off like pipe stems and fences carried for rods. Corn was lev eled, and wherever there was a hay or grain stack it was partly demolished and carried on the wings of the wind. But it was at pat WHELAX'3 That the first great destruction was encount ered. Here the storm did dire destruction, but loss of life was happily averted. At 5:10 the cyclone struck the house in which were Mrs. Whelan and three children. They were at the time in the stone basement, and, by the assistance of a railway employee, she got out with her children and went to the barn, the house having been raised from its foun dation and part of it carried over 100 yards. The kitchen, which stood to the north, was lifted bodily some forty yards and dumped in a heap and the stove was only partly broken in the fall. A Swede boy was injured severely by being struck by portions of the flying debris. The stone basement, which was well built and over two feet thick was rent and shattered and may fall at any moment. The 6ills of the building, 6x6, were lifted from their position and hurled rods away. Several hogs were killed in the yard by pieces of timber strik ing them. The roof of the barn was lifted like a piece of paper and broken into frag ments, and part of the gables followed the general ruin. The destruction was complete. Mr. Whiten was picking up bits of his goods in the fields far beyond, and sheaves of beau tiful grain from his ricks could be found a half a mile from their starting point. The fury of the gale must have been some thing awful. The foreman of the gang working on the Wisconsin Central road near Whelan's, was picked up, and although over 200 pounds in weight, was carried over 300 feet and set down in a cornfield, and only had his ankle made a little lame. He said that the wheelbarrows and scrapers were overturned and went in all directions, while the wagons with horses and drivers met the same fate. One driver had his leg broken, while others were badly bruised. One wheeled scraper was lifted over a small ra vine and taken a long distance to the woods beyond. Near Mr. Whelan's several barns were un roofed and otherwise damaged, and Mr. Holihans' house was purtly off its foundation. Mr. Fos3 has a small barn gone, and his fences are made into kindling wood. Near Mr. Foss' a new house built last spring by Mr. Chas. Redeeu is completely gone, and all the contents destroyed. His barn also shared the same fate, and his con dition is really pitiable. Mr. Geo. Holberg has lost his barn, the chimneys are off the house, which is badly twisted. His straw is across the road, and some large trees in his yard are torn up by the roots. The cyclone here twisted in all directions, some of the trees lying one way and others another. , Swen Haslln bad his home moved three feet from the foundation, his wood shed gone and his buggy broke. His wagon and horfct-a were picked up and carried mom 40 ST. PAUL. MINN., THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 11,1884. yards and uninjured. He also bad a couple of cows lifted up and one was hurt. Sox Swenson bad a cow and barn carried a long distance, and his corn crib has not yet been found. The Bills of his barn SxS and thirty feet long, was lifted some forty or fifty feet. The storm was very severe here, but as at other point?, only lasted a few min utes. From this point to Marine we find but little damage done. The cyclone appeared to move in an erratic manner. Sometimes you drive half a mile and not sea a single sign of the storm, then you come to_ dire (list ruction. But we at last come to the out skirts of the TOWN OP MARINE, and here we have a sight that will never be forgotten. This pretty town of 800 inhabit ants has very few bouses that have not been damaged in some manner. The destruction to property is estimated at from $75,000 to $80,000, and the stoppage of the regular avo cations of the people will swell the amount considerably. The sight beggars description. In all directions the large trees, for which the town is noted, can be seen twisted and beut,the sidewalks in places lifted bodily and thrown over the fences, telephone poles bro ken like pipe stems, and lumber strewn in all Hirections, some being carried completely across the river St. Croix, and up the cliff on the Wisconsin side. WALKER, JTTDD 4 YEAZIE. The loss to this firm in lumber will be not less than between $5,000 and $20,000, as the lumber caught by the cyclone was nearly all clear stuff. The force must have been ter rific that drove the boards end on into the piles of lumber, into houses, into trees, and even into the ground, so that they were ground up and twisted into all shapes. Both Smokestacks on the mill were blown down, and work was stopped. The lumber near the river did not suffer as much as that near the mill dam. Much of the lumber has gone down the river and will not be recovered. CniS. WESTEROREEX'S IIOUSE. This handsome residence has been badly injured, especially from the lumber being carried against it. A 14 foot board went clear through the siding, sheeting and stud ding into his parlor, the shingles were strip ped from the roof and windows broken. . His large barn went over the cliff, while the trees in his yard were cut and broken. His loss is heavy. He also had a shed blown down at his new house near by. x. p. root Had his house demolished, and his family had a narrow escape. Mrs. Root and child were buried beneath a part of the building, from which they were extricated by Mr. Schmidt, late state representative. He thought they were killed. The oldest daugh ter was up stairs at the time, and the build was carried oil with her inside, yet she did not suffer the least barm. Root's barn and pig pen went down the cliff some fifty feet, and the pigs were taken up yesterday all right. A tree a foot thick was broken off and carried clear over the house and left in the back yard. A. G. LIXDQUrST Had bis house much damaged by lumber be ing drove through it. The roof was partly un shingled. OLE WESTERGREEX Had his house badly twisted, and had a nar row escape on account of falling trees. It is partly off its foundation. GUS. CARL3OX Had his barn and driving shed moved off the foundations, and they are badly wrecked. L. C. caver' 3 House shows a freak of the storm by being unshingled on the side opposite to the wind, with no other damage, whilst a house owned by George F. S.ibiu, and occupied by S. San strom, a couple of rods away, is past re pair. RO3E A MAGXCSOX Had their warehouse, containing a large amount of merchandise, blown into the river and it was swept away. The slaughter bouse over a small creek was blown down, and a boy who was inside had a narow escape. The mill race to the old Judd grist mills has suffered a loss of 250 feet, the high por tion from the hill to the mill being blown down. The mill is now occupied by Rose & Lohman. Their loss is large. The Oddfollows hail suffered to the extent of having some windows broken and chim neys blown down. MR. VEAZIE. Has suffered a goodly amount of damage to his haud.-ome new residence, the tall chimneys being blown down falling through the roof. The roof is also gone over the kitchen addition, while the stables and barn are minus half the roof. ORANGE WALKER. At this large residence, only the chimneys are p-.irt y gone, but the stables are demor alized, ;.;id the choice shade trees and shrub bery are uprooted, and cannot well be replaced. THE ST. CROIX HOTEL, Occupied by Walsbon, has the roof of the L portion gone as well as the gable. A large Lombardy poplar in the front came down with a rush but did no damage. at JOIIX WARDS A door was blown in starting a partition. The fine elms, planted in ISSO, are laid low. The bouse of Peter Cutteau was placed across the street, but the women and child ren in it at the time were not hurt, _'■■ HIRAM BERKEY suffered but little in the town, but on his farm he lost his barn and granary, $1,000 worth of machinery, 600 bushels of grain and 20 tons of hay. Mrs. Madison lost her barn and kitchen. P. Wiggen had half of the roof of his residence blown off, with other damages. Gco. Holt had his sheds destroyed, and a girl in the kitchen had a narrow escape. Mrs. John Holt's barn and all her out buildings are gone. Asa Parker lost his chimney. Porter Walker and John Johns ton a'so lost theirs. Ed. Walker's kitchen was blown down the hill, and a girl who was in it at the time had her hand cut. The Town house had the roof blown com pletely off, and it looks as if just erected, the stone walls being clean and bare. The Swedish Lutheran church has lost its steeple and the whole of the front, and is almost a wreck, while the Presbyterian church has only lost the chimneys. Besides these there are a number of other losses, and some of the people feel despond ent over the great ruin, whilst others have gone to work getting things in order. Much was done yesterday to put things in shape. We also learned while in Marine that Ru don mill, at Osceola, had been unroofed. A trunk was found in the river floating, at Marine, belonging to a party at Osceola. It contained clothing and other articles. This shows that the blast must have been strong at that point also. ARCOLA. In this section very little damage has been done, but between it and , Lymans the loss has been heavy. The wind came with wond rous fury on a line from Lymans and Moors, levelling the forests. It struck the St. Croix at " THE KEW BRIDGE, and one of the spans, the iron on which was in place, as well as the temporary woodei. work, were swept Into the river, hi .-: 1 and wrenched into all kinds of uiapca, XJii* Is a great loess to the company, as the iron has to be fished from the river, and whether it will be of any use or not it is impossible to say. At Martin Moor's place there is great de struction. The fearns are wrecked, the ma chinery overturned and broken, and things generally smashed. The side of Jas. Pennington's house, on his farm, is blown out, and the building for his machinery unroofed and destroyed. Half of the roof of John Elkhorn's farm house is turned over on the other half, and the whole is ready to fall. Ben Lyman's large barn is a bad wreck, and his grain is scattered to the winds. There is but little damage done at his father and brother's premises. This is a short syn opsis of what was seen on the trip to Marine and back, but pen fails to give any clear idea of the damage done. It has to be seen to realize the terrible force of the tornado. STORM NOTES. Mr. Andrew Lynn, who lives about four miles west of Marine, lost house, barn and his season's grain. This los 3is a heavy one. The Swedish church at Seandia, six miles* north of Marine, was completely destroyed, and was lying in a heap across the road. Mr. J. Duel, who lives some three miles from the city, had his bouse, stable 3 and barn destroyed, with all their contents. The house was lifted bodily and carried a con siderable distance, Mrs. Duelling dumped out in the debris, and it took neariy an hour to extricate her. The servant was lifted and carried over a number of fruit trees, suffer ing no injury. Fred Wolf, who lives near Mr. Duel, had his house unrooted and he was in the city yesterday getting things to refit. A buggy, which a gentleman had hired from Farmer's livery stable in Stillwater, was in the gale at Whelaus and it came back badly demoralized. At Oneka, a team of horses, with plough and man, were lifted and carried eighty rods, the man being injured. Edward Judkins, who lives nine miles northwest from the city, bad the roof blown off his barn, his machinery shed down and an excellent large orchard destroyed. He estimates his loss at about $1,300. Hiram Dockendorst, who lives near Jud kius.feit very sore over a capsize of his horses and wagons. He was somewhat hurt. This happened near Carnelian Lake. A couple of buildings were partly wrecked at Scandia, besides the church. At Onrka. A reporter for the Stillwater Gazette visited the Brickett residence, or what was left of it, at Oneka, Washington county, and thus de scribes the scene: Upon an improvised bed on the floor at one side of the room, lay Mrs. Charles Brickett, on the floor at the opposite side was the servant girl, Annie Peters. Mrs. Lord occupied a lounge and Mr. Briekett was at tendiug to his iujured three-year-old boy. Iv an adjoining room lay Mrs. Brickett' s uncle, Peter Emerson, delirious and suffering greatly. The latter was first attended to by the doc tor, and found to be the most seriously hurt. A g.'Sh in the lip required the use of the needle, while a terrible cut below the calf of the les showed a severed tendon and told of lameness henceforth for life. The face was terribly swollen and livid from bruises, and the man's whole body seemed quivering in agony. He had remained in coherent ever since hie Injury but was more quiet when the doctor leit tuis morning. He will probably recover except for the per manent lameness referred to. Mr. Emerson, with Mr. and Mrs. Brickett, had moved iheir goods at eleven o'cioek Monday night into a house across the road from Mr. Lord's, the family having come from Minneapolis. Laet niuht they intended to occupy the new home f. r the first time. \Vlu-n the hurricane came, ail were staying within doors, Mr. Brickett standing at the west window watching the clouds which he says rolled over and over and advanced rap idly, with a roaring sound. When it struck the bouse the building first moved steadily and slowly from its foundations, halted, then tipped on its lower northeast corner. The stove and all the furniture dashed down the. incline, the floor and walls parted company and Mr. Brickett, wife and baby slid throuirh the opening to the ground. The next thing Mr. B. remembers he was six or eight rods from the late house, with his wife under his arm, both writhing on the ground ana strug gling against the gale. The hail was rain ing down like buiiets on his wife's face, bruising and bloodying it. Some distance ahead he saw the baby boy, and reached him only after a severe struggle. The uncle, Mr. Emerson, was found near by, resting on hia elbow, BLEEDING PROrCSHLT AXD UXCONSCIOrS of what had happened. In the meantime the bouse and connecting granary were crushed and scattered. The injured were taken to Mr. Lord's, where a less degree of damage has been inflicted. The house is a story and a half structure, 26x18, with a summer kitchen attached on the west, 12x14. Mrs. Lord and the girl, Annie, were in the kitchen and had just ar rauged the tabie for supper. The wind crushed in the walls and roof of the kitchen upon the women and then hurled the frag ments into space. Annie fell beside the stove and so was protected in some measure from the faliine boards. Mrs. Lord was borne down by the weight and sustained a shock and bruises that will be felt for a long time. The main body of the house was moved east two feet and was saved from total col lapse, so Mr. Lord thinks, in a curious way. The foot of the cellar stairs, which descend i from the west wall, was moved along with J the building until meeting resistance from j the ground of the cellar, was driven some I distance into the earth, and being braced j against the sill at the upper end, acted as a j prop and held the building. The barn and some other outbuildings were wrecked and the content* of the kitchen sent hither and yon. A sin CASE. In the Blackbird settlement scarcely a dwelling is left unscathed, the wind making pretty much a clean sweep. The log house owned by Peter Bebeau was the personifica tion of annihilation. It contained at the time of the blow, Mrs. Bebeau and her eight chil dren. The dwelling was crushed in just as : Mrs. B. rushed to the door with her babe. '. The latter was snatched from her anna and carried, two rods. The other chil- I dren were extricated not dangerously j hurt. The whole family were I taken to the residence of Joseph Lambert, | where the reporter called. Mr. Lambert's own house was badly damaged, and at this visit the interior presented a sad sight. Mrs. Lambert, sick and prostrated, lay on a sofa. Two of the Bebeau children were on a bed, and the other six scattered about on the floor. A ' Bebeau girl, ten years old, who was first found with her head forced into a small mouthed kettle in her mather's yard, had a leg broken; another girl bad a badly bruised leg, and all the children were more or leu hart. Mrs. Bebeau was hurt in the back and legs. Her crops and household goods are lost. Mr. Lambert was so badly hurt In the hip that he is scarcely able to move. In an upper room of the Lambert house, lay a hired boy, four j teen years old, who, up to within a few mm- jutes | utes of the reporter's arrival, had . been un j conscious from the effect of j injuries. At ! the time of the wind he was plowing and was hit in the back and neck by some flying missile. He is naturally a very thin faced lad, but his countenance is now ' swol len to great proportions. He suffered from concussion of the brain. Lambert's loss in , property will be 1;-hvv: he will not make an I estimate, bat vurce buss, outhouse* and stacks are destroyed, and his dwelling in jured. At the time of the catastrophe he was at the residence of Frank Le Plant. The latter's house fell and Mr. Lambert was not released for half an hour. Mrs. Le Plant was badly bruised. BLOWN INTO THE LAKE. Two houses on the bank of Long lake ! were blown Into the water and broken up, (MM being owned by John Morrisey and .one ■ by Detner Blackbird. Of Mr. Morrisey's house not a vestige remained near the foun dation. When the reporter drove by, a strange sight was the house cat and dog sit- j tidg calmly on the clean site of the house. Ho human being was in sight at the time. A BOXEN LEO. Mr. Morrisey's neighbor, Demer Black bird, is engaged in fianing bis goods out of the lake. All his wheat stacks were scattered and his barn ruined. A farm band, whose name was not learned, was caught in the falling house and sustained a broken leg. Mr. Blackbird's wife was also severely in jured, and being in a delicate condition from natura^ausesher^aseisßomeweat serious.M ■Mrs. Narcine La Vogue bad a rib broken. |-T, Brasseau's house was wrecked. Z. D. Driggs lost a barn. Peter Girard house and granary gone. John Lutz lost 800 bushels of wheat and John King. 1,400. Michael Pellican, barn and three wheat stacks. T. J. Withrow had four full barns de- stroyed. Throughout Oneka the ruin is general, and all the minor uaruages have not been specified in this article. The dwellings de stroyed were in most cases of little value, the loss being mainly in crops. Dakota Not Raymond's Yet. | Special Telegram to the Globe. | Fargo, D. T., Sept. 10. — A gentleman thoroughly posted in political matters, who ha 6 been on an extended tour as far west as Medora. says that there is not a single county on the line of the Northern Pacific railroad west of Cass that is 6olid for Raymond. There are over forty delegates pledged to stand by Burleigh and Morton, and will not unite in a convention that is called in the interest of the present delegate. Dr. Bent ley, of Bismarck, is developing considerable strength, but it is believed that a caucus at, Pierre will show United Stales Marshal Allen to have nearly double as many delegates for him as Captain Raymond can marshal. Grand Forks county bas selected a delega tion manned by the lion. Geo. H. Walsh, who has been abused by every postmaster, editor and other Raymond sympathizer. Ii is uot likely that L*s friends will go into a mem in the interest of a man who is charged with saying that no honest man favored the capital commission. Judge La moure has carried Pembina and Caviller counties, and names ten delegates from them. He has been largely concerned in interests which Captain Raymond and his mudslingers have opposed with all their might, and it is supposed "Jud" will go for a "somebody." Pembina County Republicans. [Special Telegram to the Globe. | St. Vincent, Minn., Sept. 10.— The Pem bina county Republicans met at Bathgate yesterday and selected the following dele gates to the couirressional convention at Pierre: L. E. Booker, N. E. Nelson, R. D. Huschins, H. A. Mayo, H. Thorloxon, James CopeUnd. G. Lemon and F. Appleton, who are all in favor of Raymond's nomination. The followng weie chosen as delegates to the district convention at Grafton, October 7th: N. E. Neison, J. S. Anderson, William H. Hull, S. Haight, D. Donovan, M. Soper, G. H. Bergman, William B.
