The wind storm yesterday was a
terror to travellers. 1t whirled and
twirled the dust and pebbles about
with frolicsome force that was any
thing hut pleasant. On the north
side two trees, one of them sixteen
inches in diameter, were blown down,
the frame work for a barn being
erected by G. V. Turner, was leveled
to the ground. And the cornice
along one side of the Mitchell block
was torn off.-Trinidad Advertiser.
