"A heavy thundershower accompanied
with high wind and hail passed over this
place Sunday afternoon. The hailstones
were quite large some as large as wal

depot, moved Col. Tracy's well house
some distance, demolished part of barn
in process of erection by Mr.. Mcdonald,
broke down lots Of trees, pelted off the

work can pay for one
