CINCINNATI, OHIO, July 10, 1882
The wind storm which nearly demol-
ished the village of Princeton in But
Ter county yesterday, came on about
four o'clock in the afternoon. Before
reaching Princeton 1t blew the root off
the farmhouse of Joseph Stinson,
throwing it into corn field some dis
lance away. The dwelling house of
Finley Whitehead, in Princeton,
was carried away and his wag-
on-making shop near by was de-
molished. A large brick school
building in the village was torn
down to the foundation, desks and
other furniture carried in every
direction and blacksmith shop and
barn of Gus Kimear both leveled to
the ground, the houses of John Len
hart, Rose Miller and Stephen Claw
son were completely wrecked, while
Ash Walter lost everything he pos
sessed. Oats and corn crops were
ruined and the village was deluged
with water. The storm was accom-
panied by a heavy rainfall. The
homeless families were taken in by
neighbors whose homes escaped the
fury of the tempest. Report received
last night from Hamilton. says fifty
people were killed or injured, but this
has not yet been verified.
