DESTRUCTIVE HAIL STORM
VISITS THIS DISTRICT
A terrific hail storm which extend
od from Wood Lake on the west to
Fremont on the east Sunday after
noon about four o'clock, did heavy
damage to farm crops and livestock
and in several instances injured per
sons in the path of the storm. The
hail was heaviest ten miles south anti
west of Norfolk, the hail stones there,
were as large as baseballs coming
down through space with the speed of
bullets, tearing corn fields to pieces
and shooting through the tops of auto
mobiles which were caught on the
country roads.
The storm seemed to have entered
Holt county near Stuart and went
southeast toward Inez and Chambers
covering a path about four miles wide.
Considerable wind accompanied the
hail ami in many places did untold
damage to crops, chickens and pigs,
as well as tt> window glass and auto
mobile tops. ,
The depot at Stafford was reported
to be unroofed and otherwise damaged
by the heavy wind.
No nail of any consequence fell in
or north of O'Neill during the storm
The storm was more severe near
Meadow Grove where it struck about
6:30 and old-time residents say that
it was the worst hail storm in the
history of the country. The storm
came from the west, traveling east
and veered a little to the south,
sweeping everything before it. Corn
fields in a path three or four miles
wide were stripped and only 10 or 16
per cent of the stalks left standing.
The hail stones measured in size from
that of a baaeball down to that of a
marble. The feround was covered with
stones. One 80-year-old man reaching
from |us window for one of the big
stones was struck by another stone
and his wrist was broken. A Battle
Creek! woman was struck on the head
by a hail stone and it required six
stitches to close the wound.
One child, near Madison, struck by
a big hail stone, was in such serious
condition that a doctor had to be sum
moned.
Henry Massman, living in Battle
Creek, suffered a broken arm as a re
sult of being struck by one of the big
hail stones.
Mr. and Mrs. Otto Burkhardt, of
Norfolk, were caught in the storm.
The stones shot through the top of
their Ford coupe, one stone striking
Mr. Burkhardt on the head rendering
him unconscious for a short time.
Telephone and telegraph lines west
of Norfolk were out of commission
Monday.
