] ST. ANTHONY Qa.), July "a
| storm of large proportions struck this
| place last night, and as a result nearly
every building in town is wrecked or
badly damaged. So far as known no
one was injured. 1t is impossible to
estimate the damage at present, but it
will reach many thousands of dollars
on town property, and in the surround
| ing country the damage to crops is
enormous. Corn was blown out by the
| roots, while oats in shock was scat
tered and badly injured.
The list of the buildings damaged is
as follows: Schoolhouse, Disciple
| Church and M. E. Church badly
| wrecked; blacksmith shop blown down !;
livery barn unroofed; o. j. Abbott's
barn destroyed and house partly
| wrecked; lumber-house blown away,
and the storage-house of the Kansas
| City Grain Company blown down; Dr.
Jays barn and Andrews house badly
| wrecked; Diehl's barn torn to pieces
Atkins barn blown down; Blum s
house wrecked; Evans & Mabies
| roof blown off their place of business
Peter Robinson's house wrecked and
barn unroofed, and the depot badly
damaged
The wind took a clip at nearly every
thing, and hardly a house or building
| escaped some sort of injury. Nearly all
property damaged was insured, but the
loss will fall heavily. Cars ON the
side track were blown over on the main
track, and a wrecking train is here at
work clearing away the debris. 1t is
the worst storm that has ever visited
this community, and that no one was
hurt seems almost miraculous. No fun

wind seemed to take a rotary motion,
and trees were badly twisted and many
of them broken off by the terrible
power of the tornado
