Thursdays Storm Around Spearville.
On last Thursday, about o'clock p. M,
the worst storm that ever visited this vi
cinity opened its batteries upon US.
1t was terrific blow for at least thirty
minutes. 1t lacked the circular or cOnical
motion Of the cyclone, but had in full
power that undulating movement of the
tornado. The wind seemed to have a
straight direct movement, at first almost
from the south, but soon changing to the
southwest, occasionally seeming to lift
for short distance carrying whatever
was in its graspto considerable eleva-
ton. A very considerable amount of
property was wrecked and in some cases
almost entirely destroyed. No lives of
either man or beast were lost, but in
some cases animals were injured.
Some of the persons sustaining loss or
damage are as follows:
West of Spearville, at John b. Paige's
his wind mill and tower were blown down
and destroyed. Also, his alfalfa stacks
were blown to pieces and scattered.
South from Paige's at Jacob Hess
farm. his house was carried about 80 feet
from the foundation and left perfect
wreck. destroying all of his furniture and
household goods. Also large gram and
implement house, in which he had stored
q large quantity of corn in the husk, and
most of his farm implements, was broken
in two and badly mashed, many of the
implements being carried long distance
away. Mr.. Hess, having one of those
convenient appurtenances, called in
Kansas a cyclone cave, had taken his
family therein before the storm, hence
their personal safety.
Then coming toward Spearville, at the
farm of L. w. Nichols, his barn was al
most entirely destroyed, catching one of
his best horses under the debris and badly
injuring it.

nuded of shingles from eve to comb.
In Spearville the wind mill Of w. p.
Marshall was blown down and destroyed.
The water tank Of II. w. Dorset over
turned; also = number of barns, coal
Iheds, etc., blown to pieces and fruit
trees broken down.
East Of town, at Myer Lawrence's, his
barn was blown to pieces and one section

breaking the entire windows OF that end
into fragments, - well - the entire
