DAY NIGHTS STORM.
Special Correspondence of the Statesman
ELGIN. Texas, June %, 1885, The
worst storm of hail, wind and rain
that this portion of the country ever wit
messed, occurred on Saturday last, about
O'Clock p. IN. Every roof in and around
town was more or less ruined by the hail.
All windows that were exposed to the
north, and in many instances the blinds,
sash and all, were broken out. The storm
came from the north. Our new Methodist
church was blown from its foundation,
and is a complete wreck. No lives were
lost here, but several persons were hurt.
the town and surrounding country is con-
siderable. Such hail stones never were seen
fall before, and in all conceivable
shape and almost every size. All of the
carpenters have been hard at work cover
ing and patching the roofs of houses since
Sunday morning. A perfect deluge of
rain followed the hail and wind. The
crops in places are entirely ruined. And
right now would especially call the at
tention of the citizens of Austin and Trav-
is county to the settlement in your county
on the Cottonwood and Willow creeks as
being left in very destitute condition,
having lost their entire crops, and gener
ally very poor, and need some assistance.
Our lumberman, Gus. H. Jones, furnished
them with what lumber and shingles they
wanted. R. p. JONES.

brakes, % miles from here, yesterday afternoon,
and relieved of his horse and all the money he hat
in his possession some thirty dollars. There were
two of the robbers and their demand "to hold up
your hands was accompanied by the usual presen-
tation of pistols. Taylor was not armed, and hence
MADE no resistance, nor did they offer TO harm the
victim. Taylor did not so much care for the money
as he did for the horse for in the absence Of his
trusy steed he had to walk TO the nearest town and
telegraph for money to get home. The robbery was
perpetrated but very few miles from the Helato
cave, and indicates that that famous band may have
