FURIOUS STORM
SWEPT COUNTRY
Worst Wind Storm lu Twenty-one
Ier in Alliance Damage Is
Done to Growing Crops
"This is tbe worst wind storm in
western Nebraska in twenty-one
years," Bald Postmaster I. E. Tasb
last Friday, as be and a Herald re
porter braced themselves against a
wall for support. "In April, twenty
one years ago, we had a storm some
thing like this," continued Mr. Tasb.
Tbe wind was so severe for sever
al hourB that it was impossible for a
woman to make any headway against
it on tbe street. Many people who
ordinarily eat dinner at home stayed
down town at restaurants, rather
than face the wind and dust. The
wind carried dust into tbe air for
bundreds of feet. Crops were serl-
usly injured at some places, partic
ularly corn which was whipped and
cut by flying particles of dirt.
Tbe cbautauqua tent, pitched on
tbe hill near the high school, was
completely torn to ribbons. The
wind was blowing so hard that it was
impossible to take it down before it
was blown to pieces.
The street sprinkler heroically
worked for an hour or so in the
morning, but soon gave up and went
for shelter. The water had very lit
tle effffect upon the great clouds of
east which were blown in from Bide
streets and the country.
At the Burlington depot grounds
the lawn fronting on Box Butte ave-
ue was almost completely covered
with cinders and gravel blown there
Jrom the street. Trains from the
east, heading against the wind, were
late, while trains from the west were
earried along almost altogether by
force of tbe wind, it being necessary
te vse but little steam.
lined up by twos and marched in a
body to the mayor's office, where
two of the crowd who had been sel
ected as spokesmen addressed the
mayor and asked him for assistance
in helping the crowd procure a meal.
The mayor replied that there were
no city funds for that purpose and
that he could not help them. The
men then separated and begged from
back doors.
About 11 o'clock several of the
men congregated in a bunch on Box
B,utte avenue. They were ordered
to move and some refused to do so.
It became necessary for the officers
to use their clubs freely and there
was a general fight for a short time.
The men were finally subdued and
driven out of the city limits. They
were supplied with funds by a kind
hearted business man, bought them
selves some supplies and left town
by the fast freight line as quickly as
possible.

Cooling Milk Without Ire
When it is impossible to secure ice
or a supply of ice-cold water, milk,
cream, and butter as well as other
foods may be kept cold by tbe use of
a pit or shallow well. The dairy de
partment of the Nebraska College of
Agriculture advises that such pits
may have a temperature of less than
70 degrees when the actual temper
ature in the shade is 104 degrees F.
When these special pits are used for
no other purposes, the milk and
cream are usually of a much better
quality than would be the case if
they were Btored in the ordinary
cave or roo t cellar containing vege
tables of all sorts. It is a well-
known fact that milk and cream rea
dily absorb odors from anything that
may stand near them. A well or
pit suitable for the cooling of cream
should be about ten to fifteen feet
deep and can be cemented, bricked,
or boarded up as seems best under
local conditions. A simple hoisting
apparatus with counterweight may
be used.
