Chatield Democrat. June 5 We witnessed
Que of the heaviest hail storms last Wednes-
day afternoon that ever visited this section.
While returning from Fountain, when with
in half mile of the Case timber we were
made aware of the approaching storm by a
loud, incessant roaring in the direction OF
the Jordan Valley, and just as we entered
the timber it burst upon us in all its fury.
The hail fell thick and fast (many of the
stones being as large as English walnuts)
stripping the leaves and tender branches
from the trees like sickle and pelting our
horses SO that they become almost unmanage-
able. Fortunately the storm lasted only a
few minutes and did no serious damage aside
from cutting down few fields of well ad-
vanced corn in the Jordan Valley. The width
of the storm was about eight miles, not
reaching this side of the Pease bridge, and
the heaviest portion extending from Foun-
tain to the Larvin hill.
