One thing you need to know today:
June 23, 1942 — During a severe rain storm, lightning struck a barn on the farm in Burke Township tenanted by Mrs. Abe Bakker, the building being burned to the ground. The farm was owned by Morningside College, and insurance was carried in the Sweet Township Insurance Co., in this city. The Bakker family was beginning to think that the farm had some special attraction for the elements, as the previous year they had three cows killed by one bolt of lightning.

One thing you need to know today:
June 22, 1906 — Two new buildings were to be erected at the Pipestone Indian training school. One of the buildings would be a cottage for the superintendent and his family; while the other would be an employees’ building. For the former there was an appropriation of $4,500 available and for the latter $10,000. Both structures were to be of stone and they would be an important addition to the buildings of the school. The need of the new cottage and quarters had been felt for some time, and the improvements would be highly appreciated by Superintendent Campbell and family and the employees, when completed.
