was vlBited by the worst rain and hall
fctorm In Us history. The Btorm broke
about 10:30 p. m. and for three-quarters

as much damage ns the hail.

yond hope of redemption. Some Btock

aged. Corn Is also very' badly hurt.
On the ea6t and south sides of tho
school house nil the glass was broken,
and the same Is true of many storea
and houses.

tion in tho territory indicated leave I
no uouui oi me inorougnness oi me
destruction that resulted from the
storm. The destruction seems to
have been confined practically within
the territory outlined in the imme
diate vicinity of this town, as no re
ports of damage have come in from
any of the other towns or villages In
this and adjoining counties.
