Lewis Adamson died in this city Saturday morning , June 12 , 1903 , at the age of 79 years. He was born in Tennessee , moving from there to Iowa and coming to Neb raska nine years ago , settling at Valentine. Four years since , he removed to Bayard where he has c since resided. He has been an invalid - g valid for tbe past three years and during the last year has been blind and helpless. This makes the fifth brother who has passed from earth within the past four years. He leaves twov brothers , Ira , residing here , and Henry , residing at New ton , Iowa , with a sister Kachel Bullard , and two sons , George of Bayard , and James of Salt Lake , and a daughter , , Mrs. J. H. Sears of Valentine , besides a large num ber of relatives to mourn his loss. The funeral was from the house Sunday afternoon , Kev. Eobert Eutledge officiating , and was I largely attended. Bayard Tran- scripti Cyclone Strikes This city , Considerable Damage Done TeA A cyclone struck this city about o'clock Tuesday afternoon and I did considerable damage to build ings ' though no one was hurt. Clouds had been hovering around all day and several sprinkles of rain fell4. In the afternoon the clouds began to thicken and the wind had a dismal howl as it rat tled the windows , blowing from the southeast. Suddenly it began raining and caught hundreds of un suspecting victims unawares , giv ing them a 'thorough drenching be fore they could find shelter. The funeral procession of Mrs. Wood- son , an old colored woman , was caught about half way from the house on the Niobrara Eiver and Mount Hope cemetery and the hail which accompanied the drenching rain stopped the horses , obliging them to turn their * backs to the storm to await until it was over before proceeding. The center of tfie storm seemed to strike near Valentine's new court house. A strong wind from the southwest brought dense clouds of rain to the ground and for a few minutes sheet after sheet of rain was pre- cipated. Suddenly again a cur rent of air star ted bio wing from the northwest and the air about the court house was filled with shingles , boards tind cfebris , a part of which came from barns in the path of the storm , but mainly from the roof of Jim Galloway's house which was being carried into the air. Mrs. Shores' barn was turned bottom side up. Several small out building were blown several rods. The barn of Mark Zarr's was blown over against a telephone pole bending it over and broke a wire , the barn being almost a wreck. Chas. Eeece's barn was moved several feet at the north nd and broke at the corner leav- ng his corn and the west side of the barn where it was but badly mashing the building. Fred Hols- claw's new building was the next to be torn down. He had the frame work up and was building grotto walls but will have to frame - his building again. The center of the storm seemed to be at Gallo way's house. One chimney was blown off Chas. Sparks' new house and several chimneys over in that part of town are badly shaken. The hail which accompanied the storm and followed it , was mostly about the size of cherries and fell thick. On the north side of build ings it drifted like snow to the- depth of 6 to 8 inches. This is the first real cyclone that Valentine has ever had and wasn't a very severe one or it would have taken every building in its path. The wind storm on the 21st of May was a straight wind. In this case the wind changed suddenly and came from the northwest , and | while the main part of Galloway's roof blew southeast from his house , the chimney of Chas. Sparks' house and the barn of Mrs. Shores' just across the street blew over to the north while the flying timbers were carried in a northeasterly direction and the general direction of the storm seems to have been from the southwest. Several out 'buildings were blown into Galloway's yard from the north and west. A full line of Barb Wire , Field Fencing and Poultry Netting is carried by the RED FRONT MERC.
