TERROR's TRACK.
ONE OF THE HEAVIEST STORMS
EVER WITNESSED VISITS THIS
COUNTY, MONDAY.
The Rain Accompanied by Hail Storm
In Which Ariel Ice as Large as
Hens Eggs Fell.
Scenes and Incidents in the Visited District
British Hollow the Greatest sufferer--Bad
Washouts Everywhere.
THE START.

Monday afternoon very severe rain
storm swept over this city, but aside
from filling the cutters and driving
people to seek refuge for the time being,
created no material disturbance here.
Later in the afternoon Mr.. John Nc
Cormick, the well-known farm mach
inery dealer. returned from trip to
Potosi, British Hollow and Rockville,
and brought intelligence of serious
damage done by the storm at those
places. 1t was described by Mr.. Me-
Cormick as one of the heaviest he had
ever seen. To use his own expression
lit seemed as if something had opened
and let all the water out
With view of getting at the bottom
facts for the readers of THE HERALD a
commissioner from that paper was
started out next morning to 60 over the
track of the storm and ascertain defini-
tely the amount of damage done. BY
way of preface it may be said that
from all the evidence obtainable it APP
peared that the visitation was in the
nature of the bursting OF water-spout
as in each place the same phenomena
of short, sharp, heavy shower, with
incredibly rapid rise of water in the
branches was noticeable. Nothing
short of cloud burst of this kind could
have ever produced, in so short time,
the destruction worked by this storm.
Early Tuesday morning THE HERALD
commission, duly equipped and forti-
fled against any migratory tornadoes or
water-spouts, started on its voyage of
discovery and news gathering. For
some distance out from the city the
muddy roads alone gave sign of any
delivery of liquid goods in quantities
unsuitable for immediate use. For
several miles the monotony was un-
varied by anything startling and it was
not until the farm of Mr.. Chas Lam
was lCtClCu blittb tLlC ilISJ SI8uS
of more than an ordinary flow of waters
was noticed. Here little refuse caught
the eye at a bridge over a small run,
and the track of considerable stream
could be traced through on either side.
From this on evidences of an unusually
heavy rain accumulated. Every hollow
was covered with soil carried down
from the neighboring fields and deposit
ted in the road, to the depth of from
four to ten inches. The heaviest de-
posts were near the places of Mcssrs.
George and David UT. But the trail
of the torrent was plainly visible in
every depression, where there was any
chance for the gathered waters to vent
their spite against fences and roads.
Hardly a field was passed but what bore
some trace of depletion and ravage by
the elements.
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1883-06-14
B0ICE CREEK

and Hurricane Grove. AS the vicinity
of the creek was approached, the traces
of the storm became palmer in the
shape of washed-out fences and bridges.
Crossing over by Campbel's mill, the
dam was found to be badly wrecked.
That the storm must have been ex-
tremely high was shown by the bridge,
which, at the time THE HERALD expe-
dition passed over, was ten feet above
the water, but on the top of which were
piles of refuse deposited by the flood the
day before, showing that it had been
running over the top of the structure.
Under these circumstances, the only
wonder was that vestige of the dam
was left.
A bridge just above the dam was also
washed out, but it will take but small
sum to replace it. For several miles,
parties living along branch emptying
into Boice Creek, were observed out re-
pairing damages made by this stream
which at this time looked too feeble to
continue an existence much longer.
Further over to the west it was learned
the storm had been more severe if any
thing than in this vicinity. On the
Glendemning branch much damage
was done, among the list of casualties
being the loss of spring-house by Mr..
Jos. Taylor, which went floating down
the stream for several miles. From here
on toward Hurricane Grove the sign of
the storm began to grow less. At the
Corners no hail was reported but very
heavy fall of rain had visited this por-
ton of the county, probably the same
shower that swept through Lancaster.
There will probably be many more
losses reported as soon as bridges and
roads can be repaired and residents
further west can get to trading points
but from the reports obtained it Is evil
dent that the losses in the territory
covered by THE HERALD expedition
will when fully known, and taking dam
age to fruits and vines into considera-
ton foot up to nearly ten thousand dol
lars. Quite large sum for fifteen
minutes storm.
Other parts of the county were visit
ed by this or another storm. Monday
afternoon as the freight train on the
Galena division of the G. & n. w. II. Y.
was going south it was caught by a
tornado just north of Elmo station and
three cars, the caboose and two others,
were thrown from the track Con-
duetor Gleason was badly injured and a
travelling man was also hurt by this
freak of the wind. At Big Patch, a
church was blown down and several
houses unroofed.

AT ROCKVILLE

the Ifst really serious portion OF the
storm was met. While the damage
was not so severe as at the neIghbor-
ing towns, the experience of the resi-
dents was such as to lead them to de-
cline any visitations of the kind
in the future with thanks. The
only serious damage done here, aside
from washing out of fences in the bot
toms below the village, was the drown
ing of horse belonging to Mr.. Bronson
of Plattevillc, but at the time in charge
of Capt. Bently, who was on his way
home. He was caught by the storm at
this point and in order to shelter his
team, unhitched them and endeavored
to lead them into Mr.. Geo. Schrum's
barn. Mr.. Bently took them up on the
bridge over the branch and leading
TO the gate. which he attempted to open.
While doing this, one of the team be-
came restless under the heavy pelting
of the terrible hail and backed off from
the upper side of the bridge, drawing
the other horse with it, Mr.. III. G..
Smith, of British Hollow, was accom-
panying Bently and as the horses vent
under he attempted to save them
but barely escaped drowning. One of
the horses was taken out about ten rods
below after having been swept under
two bridges. The second horse was
carried down half mile before it was
taken out, dead as herring, with sew
eral large holes in its head which told
the story of how it came TO its death.
The story of the storm was perhaps
best told by Mr.. John Carthew, the
well known Rockville merchant. He
said the storm came up about four
O'Clock, the clouds first coming from
the southwest then shifting to the east,
when the hail and rain came down in
perfect torrents. "Why'' said Mr..
Carthew, s'for few minutes you
couldn't see ten feet away. 1t seemed
as il white cloud had shut down all
around you, and in five minutes the
water came down the street raging tor
rent, and soon was as high as the top OF
determination of the store.n Speaking Of
the force and severity of the hail Mr..
Carthew said he was at home at the
time, and the kitchen door being open
he once attempted to shut it and
reached out his hand for the purpose,
but the hail stuug SO numerically that
he gave it up as bad job.
Mr.. Thes Carthew, Mr.. Jos. Walker,
Mr.. Samuel Druen and Others zorro.
borated the statement as to the sudden.
ness and severity of the storm. Mr.
Druen said he never had known So
severe storm during his residence in
the country, and as he is one Of the old
est settlers remaining, having come tC
the county fifty years ago, it win be seer
his experience extends over long
stretch of time
