While all their establishments were
considered ''well ventilatedr for this
August weather.
In oil there were five teams running

demolished.
Forty-four panes were riddled in the
Sun office, while the north side of TIE

extent.

by the hail as il they had been pounded
with a hammer.

though very much exposed, got off
easily. They rate their loss at $50.

weighing four ounces.
Masters Oliner Perry and Charles
Smell, had ridden about three miles
from the city, and upon hearing the
coming storm, dismounted and barely
held their terrified steeds, who, mad
with fright, made desperate efforts to
escape, dragging and worrying the
noble boys, who heroically endured the
pelting hail and danger of the plunging
horses. Not returning Immediately
after the storm, their parents went in
search of them, and found them within
three miles of home, awfully battered
and bruised, but cheerful and uncom-
planning.
Mr.. Ringolsky says his loss will ex-
coed $500.

which made it look very sick. The
glazier is needed in that locality.

third man on the street carried under
his arm a package of window glass.
Addoms & Glover, druggists, who
lost both their large plate glass fronts,
and had a portion of their goods dam
aged, supplied the places of the glass
with ceiling plank.
