THE WIND STORM.

The wind storm Saturday night covered
rather u small area in this city, but In Its
pathway It swept roofs. chlmneys, ETC.. In
rather O frightful way. The tin roof on
the large brick house belonging to Mrs.
Fred Eberle was lifted on the front edge
and peeled the entire length Of the build
Ing, landing on tho buildings across the
alley In the rear. A large plate glass WIN
dow In tho front OF the store room OF the
same building vas broken by the wind.
1t had been loose in the frame. The First
National bank building was caught In tho
edge Of the swirl and two windows broken
and aSsmall portion OF, the roof lifted but
not torn away. At Sebastian WINNER
q chimney was blown down with such
force rs to break through the roof, a por-
ton OF the brick going to the story below.
This covers about all OF the damage done
In tho city and It was confined to a very
small area, the limits so far as damage
goes being ono square. 1t was a sort OF
tornado that swooped down on that par.
ticular spot and then lifted again. 1t did
not last over two. or three minutes but
was frightful for the short time IT pre-
vailed. F97 4tlsd4.1 s. 'sI-1a FtfsE 49,
