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.
