though several were out in the entire
storm. Your reporter was out from town
and was caught in the storm, and he can
testify that it was the most severe he was
ever in. The hail came down in great
quantities and it was anything but pleasant
to stand with uncovered head in the hail
storm, but such was our portion yesterday
and we made the best of it we could, though
our Uranium is still very sore, and we can
bear witness to the fact that Mr., Foster
was correct in his statement that there
would be 4 storm on the 18th. The rain
fell in great torrents and was as near a
waterspout as we ever have in Texas. This
rain and hail and wind storm taken alto
gether was the hardest that we have had
for years The case of ]. C. ShedfOrd,
