Tho wind storm of tho past thirty
six hours has done no harm in North
Platto that could bo called serious
whpn compared with tho damago dono
at other placos; yot, If all tho damago
could bo flgurod and added up it
would amount to a considerable sum.
Somo small buildings lmvo been over
turned, roofB blown off and chlmnoys
blown down. tOno of tho worst ot
theso was whon a chimney at the
North Platto Floral Company was
blown over onto tho green house, des
troying much and muny plants. Tho
loss will bo about $500. Many trees
and branches havo been broken down,
somo qulto largo trees and tho dam
ago to trees, shrubs and all growing
things Is to bo regretted. This office
suffered from having part of tho front
window blown out. Many peoplo say
yesterday was. tho most disagreeablo
day thoy can remember and few peo
plo ventured out unless compelled to
by buslnoss. Tho only ones known to
havo found any ploasuro in tho day
woro somo boys with coaster wagons
and big sails who took some swift
rides and seemed to bo having fine
sport.
Tho most serious local damage was
tho complete destruction of tho air
planes owned by Noel Bullock ana
Lawrence Enzininger. Tho planes
wero torn looso from their moorings
and blown down tho flold. Ono of
,thcso waa, tho, piano In tho training

tho other was a now piano recently
purchased in Grand Island by Mr.
Enzminger. It is planned to rebuild
both planes if possible.
Tho storm over tho state was the
worst at Lexington, Broken Bow and
Bloomfiold. At those placos tho storm
took tho nature of tornadoes, lifting
largo buildings from their founda
tions and completely demolishing
smaller ones. Tho first report wns
of thrco fatalities at Lexington, but
'lator word makes a total of threo in
tho stato with none at Lexington, but
many Injured. Many telephone polos
