Custer weekly chronicle. [volume] (Custer City, S.D.) 1890-1931, 1894-06-23

The storm on Tuesday evening which,
at this place was comparatively mild,
was more serious in character at other
points, especially at Chadron, where il
took on the force Of a cyclone, unroofing
twenty buildings besides inHic,ing
other damage to property. One life is
reported lost, that Of j. +. Tenzer, who
was instantly killed, while others mar
rowly escaped fatal injuries. At
Hermosa the storm was accompanied
by hail, which is said to have inflicted
serious injury upon the growing crops.
At Edgemont some of the buildings in
course OF erection were blown down, a
bridge was washed out, and the dam for
the new ditch was more or less injured.
The storm appears to have been general.
and barring the damage resulting in
some localities, was Of great benefit to
the country.
Within the past year the democratic
administration has cost the country five
times as much as all the expenses of the
war on both sides, and there is no tell
ing where the expense is to end. There
are good indications thst many of the
lifelong adherents of the party are
opening their eyes to the gravity of the
situation and that they will never again
be found among the country's destroy
ers. If the recent elections mean any.
thing they mean that a turn in the tide
of misfortunes is coming, and if the peo
pie can but survive the present reign
their emancipation is sure. -kansas
