Christ Hansel from Wanke, Red Lake County, formerly from the town of Tumuli, writes to the Ugeblad on the 5th of this month, but the letter did not arrive until Tuesday this week:
"A Cyclone went over Red Lake County yesterday and destroyed all the crops that were in its path. Sigurd Thorstenson's house was taken and thrown 15 rods, and Mr. Thorstenson was instantly killed, but his family escaped to the basement.
He leaves behind a wife and three small children. The house was smashed to pieces, and all the contents were completely destroyed.
Mr. Thorstenson moved from Tumuli 4 months ago and settled here. He was a man the best there was, respected and well-liked by all with whom he associated."
