Great Bend Democrat: The storm on
Wednesday night seems TO have done
more damage than at first anticipated,
it being more severe in Rush county
than in Barten. From Mr.. James Bryan,
who came from there on Thursday, we
learn that terrible gale swept over
that country, commencing about five
miles from the County line, and extend
ing up through Rush Center, but just
how far west of that it is not known
now. Some half Il dozen houses were
blown down this side of Rush Center,
some of them being torn TO atoms. A
large two-story house was completely
capcized, and the roof crushed in. sever
al persons were in it at the time but they
all escaped uninjured. Most all of the
houses blown down were occupied by
families, but strange to say not a single
person was injured so far as heard from.
1t is impossible to estimate the dammage
done to property along the line which
the storm passed over, until all the
points are heard from, but it must have
been quite severe.
