The hailstorm of last Sunday did some damage. At Owatonna hail stones as large as hen's eggs fell, entirely covering the ground. The west windows of the Masonic and Odd Fellows' hall were demolished; hundreds of other lights were broken, shade and fruit trees were almost stripped of their foliage, and corn and small fruit is damaged. Cattle and horses in pastures were bellowing and neighing with pain and fear from the pelting received, which lasted about ten minutes. The hail was piled up in drifts on the west side of buildings.
