The storm of Tuesday morning was
even more destructive than first reports
seemed to indicate. The storm was the
scverest across the strip OF the country
embracing Clear Creek, Unity, Villa
Ridge and Calcdo MIA. and the damage
to property was very great. Reports
from Unity. Beach Ridge and Villa
Ridge are to the effect that the wheat in
many places was blown down, and much
of the crop will be lost. The destruc-
ton of fruit trees, fences, buildings, etc,
was also severe. Several small houses
were blown down near Beach Ridge,
and in one OF them negro man was
badly hurt. We understand that several
barns and a number of small buildings in
the vicinity OF Villa Ridge were blown
down and several persons badly hurt.
Fruit farms were torn up and in several
instances almost wholly destroyed.
Among the heaviest losers in this re-
spect, we mention, Mr.. Joe I.ufkin and
MIR. Ayers, at Villa Ridge, and Mrs.
Jacard, at Caledonia. On Mr.. Lufkin's
place nearly two hundred fine young
trees were either blown down, torn up by
the roots or branches and foliage. MIR
Ayers also lost large number of fine
trees. Mrs, Jacard had an orchard cov-
ering about ten acres, and it Is said that
scarcely tree was left standing. Her
residence was also badly damaged by be-
ing struck by falling tree. In the
neighborhood OF Vienna in johnson
county, the storm was very severe, and
the damage to property heavy. Several
small houses were demolished, while
larger and more pretentious residences
were unrOOfed. The large three-s story
brick business house belonging to Col.
Hess and occupied by G.. Coin as a dry
goods store, was unrooied and por-
ton of the wall blown in. The root of
this building was carried some distance,
and fell upon several smaller structures
damaging them considerably. The DIES.
truction to forrest trees was very great.
in the neighbOrhood of BeechRidge The
track Of the Cairo and st. Louis railroad
was covered, and the train due here at
six O'Clock on Tuesday evening did not
reach Cairo until Wednesday at noon,
Trains on the Illinois Central and the
Cairo and Vincennes railroads were also
DELAYED while the tracks were being
cleared. Reports come in slowly, but
enough to indicate that the damage is
very great and the loss of property
immense.
