In the item in relation to the running over
of blind Barney, there was an injustice done
to the driver of the horses and buggy that
went over him. 1t was purely accidental,
and the blind man crossed in front of the
horse, and so near that it was impossible

in DR.. Clark to see him, and told him that

A number of our citizens drove out yes
terday into the storm-tossed region to have q
look at the country that was struck by the
cyclone. They found that not much work
hadAbeen done in repairing buildings, but all
had been busy trying to get their grain Sc
cured. They had in many places got it in
shock near the stacks that had been blown
down, and some had got the grain re-
stacked. The rain of Sunday night caught
them again, and the grain in roofess barns,
uncovered stacks and in shocks must have
been badly soaked, and discouraged the
farmers, who are having hard time OF it..
The curious freaks of the cyclone make
them open their eyes in wonder, as no one
reading any description has an idea of the
| force of the wind
