by 11 high wind accompanied by rain
and no hull fell in town to ainou.it to

130 acres of small grain ami the loss is
total, They had made about five
rows on a 45 acre Held when the storm
it
came. Cuttle were badly lacerated by
hall and windmlllsundhouseroofs were
badly pounded up. The hall moved
from here slightly en;.t of south anil
cleaned fc up Whelan's, Fronapfel's,

Kid well's partially. Emery Abbey and
those west of town esuu pod as well as
Uhrig east of town. .Several people
in town not in the habit of seeking
shelter in caves or cellars confess that
they did so on this occasion. Consider
able grain had already been cut so the
loss is not so great as it would have
been two weeks ago and much of it can
still bo cut for feed.
