burg, was among the picnicers on the
occasion of the old settlers meeting at
this place last Saturday. Mr.. and
Mrs, Young settled IN Granite town
shipln 1872,
We learn that Mr. j. b. Durnil met
with what came near being serious
accident last Sunday. His team be-
came frightened, ran over hitching
post throwing Mr., Durnil and one
child out, painfully, If not seriously
lnjuring both, Mrs, Durnil and one
of the children managed to remain IN
the buggy unharmed until the team
brought up against wire fence, The
buggy is badly wrecked.
(Krwin independently
Last evening a wind storm, with all
the characteristics of cyclone, swept
over Krwin. A stiff south wind was
met in Klrwin by an equally stiff wind
almost directly from the west, meet
ing at the corner of the Moulton
block, and almost completely disroof-
ing that building, throwing boards for
about Is yards, The damage to the
block is estimated at about $500, not
counting the damage done the Ma
sonic hail. The wind storm WAS fol-
lowed by rain of LAO inches, which
completely wet the carpets, furniture
and regalia of that order, damaging
it to quite an extent, This IS the sec
ond time the Traders bank has sus-
tanned a loss by wind this summer,
which Seems rather partial. After the
storm had passed over the atmosphere
seemed spotted with very warm cur
rents passing here and there, which
were distinct symptoms of cyclone.
So far, we have not heard of any
damage to the surrounding country.
No other damage was done in Kirwln
except to relieve Mr. Tlnney's wind
mill Of its fans, upset several out
houses and buggles, break down a
number of the favorite shade trees,
shatter a number Of the chimneys and
get rid Of some spouting, We venture
to say more people were IN cellars last
evening than at any other one time
for number of years.
