GREAT TORNADO AT PORTAGE CITY, WISCONSIN.
PORTAGE, Wisconsin, May "a, lS56-A terrible
and appalling tornado overlook this place last night.
The day had been unusually warm. At midnight a
rain storm came from about N. E. by N. and aftera
short duration it was accompanied by mighty wind
which soon converted the rain into hail-on an ave-
rage the size of an egg. The large 4 inch panes of
cns as Of the Columbia Bank were pierced or broken
equally as the tniest quality-having similar ex.
posure. Frame buildings, partially raised, were
either blown down or by force of the wind forced
forward eight or ten inches. The building of Mr..
Lee, of the Washington Hotel (the additions to it,
were overturned and scattered by the storm that Of
Mr.. Brady was blown in the direction of the wind,
and moved fully eight inches from Its postion-the
three story brick building of Mr.. Herkley, in pro
gress Of erection was completely demolished, These
at present form the most severe cases.
