THE STORM.

Wednesday afternoon was windy
and showery, when about three o'clock
dangerous, lead colored clouds ap-
peared in the south, indicative of wind
and hail. Our citizens watched them
as they approached the city. When
within mile or two Of town they
seemed to be dropping nearer the
earth, being much agitated and be-
ginning to assume the form of cy-
clone cloud. 1t was making straight
for this city and many anxious faces
were turned toward the south, but q
strong east wind, which had prevailed
all the afternoon drlfted these dan
gerous looking clouds to the west and
they passed over the valley. Here
the monster put on the regular fun
mel shape and swooped down to the
ground demolishing everything be.
fore it. The first touch was at the
residence Of Geo. Halderman two
miles northwest of this place, throw
ing Mr.. Halderman violently against
a building. From there it passed to
the residence of Fred HasenYager de-
molishing his milk house, COW shed
aud twenty feet OF his corn crib. It
next took the school house, Just east,
