A man named Doyle was at the station
when the train pulled into Thomas and
related the details of one of the curious
freaks Of the cyclone. He said that his

touched but every other house for two or
three blocks In all directions was totally

only small pieces Of 1t could be found
anywhere, and of whose members not one
