THE TRACK OF THE STORM.
The storm first began to get in its
work near Caledonia in Trigg county
and in its track swept over Julien,
Belleview and proceeded northeast
into the Handy district, where It's force
became spent. Caledonia is little
village with only two store houses
and one Of these was not occupied.
I. j. Hammond's frame store was
blown down. The only occupant was
j, X. Wilkins the clerk. He escaped
through the side door as the building
was falling. The wreck for some
cause did not take fire. j j. Thomas
son near by also lost his house, barn
and other improvements.
Mark Jones' residence, barns and
stables were swept down and Mr.. Jones
was struck on the head by piece
of timber and seriously hurt. Robt.
Lucas, an old gentleman about
mile from Caledonia, had his house
demolished. Mr.. Lucas had a leg
broken and his wife was badly bruis-
ed. His barns and stables also were
completely wrecked, and q mule and
two cows killed. A vacant dwell
ing house near by was likewise des-
troyed.
Two other dwellings, owned by T.
j. Hammond were also scattered to
the winds.
Next in the track were Ike Sallee
and Nick Sallee. Both had all barns
and outhouses destroyed. Others
whose names could not be learned
shared the same fate.

was even worse, and the following
were some of the losses;

barn and outhouses.

burned.
The Belleview postofiice with all its
contents was likewise totally con-
sumed.
Over all this track the fences were
blown down to the worm rails and
many of the rails carried over into the
next farms. The rest of the desolated
track showed lighter damages until
the timbered bottoms of Sinking Fork

seemed to have mustered strength for
a closing effort.

stables.

part of dwelling.

bles and fences.
Beyond this the principal damage
was to fences, The report that As
SCISSOR NJ A. Littlefield had his house
blown down was a mistake. He
escaped with slight damages to bis
fences.
In the city a high wind prevailed |
but no damage Of consequence was
done. The flying Jenny, an old shop
ON Clay st. and the shed OF Gillilands
mill near the rock bridge were blown
down. These were the only instances
of damage worth noting.
