A heavy wind storm struck this
vicinity early yesterday morning with
terrific velocity. 1t was regular gale
and as it howled and whistled through
the streets, struck terror to the hearts of
the timd. The storm at first was
accompanied by rain, which ceased
shortly, but the wind blew in terrible
gusts until nearly morning. Loose
articles on the streets were blown about
indScrimnately and a number of swing
ing signs on the business streets were
torn from their fastenings and hurled
to the ground. The storm also blew
down many fine trees outside of town.

The first truck struck him and threw
him forward, on the track, and the cars
passed over his body, mangling it horri-
bly,. When picked up life was extinct.
