The wind which has been bowling in
Fort Collins and vicinity for the last
two days, has done considerable dam
age. Fences and chimneys have been
blown over, roofs lifted, and one house,
about a mile and u half from town, was

have been blowing about streets, and
we have had several very narrow es-
capes from fire in consequence.
The Larimer county bank has COM

Tuesday evening, which l think is the
fastest eyer known in Collins by about
ten miles.
