HEAVY VIVID.
s.ne Slight Damage.

A heavy wind followed the rain and
wind storm of Monday night, continuing
all day Tuesday and Tuesday night, and
part of Wednesday.
Observer Todd reports the velocity of
the, wind Tuesday afternoon at the rate OF
&c miles an hour, less rate than the
night previous. The wind was from the
west and shifted to northwest and north
and was intermittent. During the heavy
gusts it bowed at terrible rate.
In the city some slight damage was
done to poorly constructed and unoccu-
pied frame houses. The front of G.. n.
Hoover's warehouse, near the depot, was
blown out. Mr.. LyBrand was fixing up
this house for restaurant. The front
of a store building, once occupied by
Chas. Dickerson, was blown down. A
small part of the iron on the roof Oh Nc
Carty's rink was blown off. Some Chin
neys were partly blown of, and few
window panes were broken by9 either the
conclusion of the wind or some flying
piece of timber.
Near Lakin, the local freight coming
this way, had eight cars blown over-fW
of the cars being loaded and three cars
empty. There was some damage to cars
and contents. Fred Feldmire, who was
on this train, says the wind was blowing
hard, and be thought it was tornado.
Henry Reustis, conductor, informs us
that box car was carried for three miles
along on the ties east of Holly, Colorado.
He supposes one side of the car being
open that the car was carried along like
an inflated sail. He observed the marks
of the..wheels on the ties, and he and other
railroad men vouch for the correctness of
this report.
Damage to buildings is reported at all
the towns west of Dodge City. At Gar
den City the stand pipe was blown down.
At some Of the places serious damage
was done to some buildings.
The round house at Liberal was blown
down.
Some fruit was blown off many trees.
and the leaves on the north side of the
trees were bIighted, but the damage is
slight. and there will be an abundance of
fruit if no other injury occurs.
