udIA Was completely QemOIlsn6d, the
house moved many feet off its foun-
dation and the north end of it so badly
damaged that it will have to be
torn out and rebuilt. The orchard,
which contained fifty apple and peach
trees, was entirely destroyed and
many shade trees were blown down.
John d. Orear rescued Wick Mason's
horse from a watery grave. The
horse was in Allison's pasture with
its head tied to its feet to keep the
animal from jumping. The water
was fast rising to a point where the
helpless creature was bound to drown.
Wick was there and shouted "My
kingdom for the horse!" John heard
Wick's piteous wall and, although the
darkness was appalling, took courage
and went into the surging current,
waist deep, cut the rope, got onto the
horses back and rode him into safety.
Richard Moore's barn in north Mex
leo was torn all to pieces and the
chimneys on his house blown down.
His porch was carried away and has
not been found yet, and one of his
mules was killed. His buggies and farm
ing machinery were all blown away, and
his loss will be about $500. About 200
young and so old chickens belonging
to HIM YER drowned, and his orchard
was destroyed. The rear end of his
house was completely blown away,
but neither he or his wife were hurt, as
they were in the cellar.
THE STORMS WORST WORK.
The wind and the rain storm Sun
day evening got in it's worst work at
the plant of the Western Stove Lining
Co., situated at the northeast corner
of Olive and Love streets, of which R.
E. Elliott is the main owner and man
ager. The exact amount of damage
done will not be known until the
stock on hand can be sorted out, but
it will amount to over 81, 200.
A LEDGER reporter visited the plant
Tuesday and was shown through
the disabled buildings and sheds by
Mr.. Elliott. The water rushed through
the buildings with the force of a mill
race and swept everything before it,
rising as high as two feet in the mold
room and yard, while the wind aided
i'll the destruction by partially blow
ing the storage sheds down and dam
aging the kiln and large chimney,
which is leaning and may fall at any
time.
AN EXCITING EXPERIENCE.
Charles Reynolds, who is in the
employ of j. B. Graham, had II OF
the most exciting adventures connect
ed with the storm. He was in Fulton,
having driven two travelling men over
and started home with them at ter
O'Clock Sunday night, arriving at 1890
next morning. He says that nearly al
the eulverts and bridges were washed
away, and at one he had to fish two
strong planks from the water and put
them from bank to bank. He then lee
the horses over, one on a plank, anc
later pulled the surrey cross One
bridge across a stream was SO weak
that he and his two passengers had tt
carry the fallen trunks of trees, which
had been blown down, and place then
on either side of the bridge to hold j
down while the horses and surrey
were taken r
1t took just 1219 hours to make thu
trip. He says the storm in Fulton
was not 80 severe as here, only
heavy rain falling there.

Obituary.

Died, at his home north OF Martins
burg, June srd, 1896, Wesley Nichols,
in his seth year.
Mr.. Nichols was born in Dearborn
County, Indiana, October "a, 1895.
He was married to Jane Hamilton
June 6, 1850. For over 40 years the
two shared each others Joys and sor-
rows until 1892 when Mrs. Nichols was
laid TO rest in the new cemetery at
Martinsburg. In 1859 the family re-
moved to Illinois, where they re-
manned until 1872, when they came to
Missouri, where they have since made
their home. OF ten children born of
their union, eight are still living.
Three remain at the old homestead
and the balance are scattered.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Nichols were
pious people and after the death Of
his partner, who left a very clear tes-
timony of faith triumphant in death,
Mr.. Nichols seemed very much sub
dued in character aud lived in much
greater nope OF the future lie. MIR.
Nichols was somewhat wild in youth
but was converted at % and from that
time to his death was a worthy MEM
Der of the NJ. E. Church, active In all
its works of benevolence, gifted In
prayer and e~xhortation and with fer
vent spirit he served the Lord. He
was a man of peculiar self-win which
sometimes gave an expression OF
harshness TO his demeanor, but under
this rough exterior he had a warm
and generous heart.
AS the cid soldiers fall here and
there, let the younger recruits close
up the ranks and carry on the war.
He left a large circle of relatives and
friends to mourn his departure. A
good and useful mar gone to his re.
ward.
