and wind. The path of the storm was five
miles wide and. according to the latest
reports, it was twelve or fifteen miles
long. Houses were unroofed. fences blown
down and the cotton is ruined. In some
places 1t is literally threshed to pieces,
but the condition of most OF it was de-
scribed in the dispatch last night, namely
stripped OF it's leaves and squares and

and grown bolls.
The damage at Hewitt was extensive
A dozen houses were blown from their
blocks and two barns were struck by
lightning, one of them being destroyed
by fire. This latter was the property of
Sam oliver and was a total loss, together
with 1900 bales of hay. w, ID. Chapman's

hurt Two men were coming to the city
in a wagon and when they met the storm
their wagon was blown over. One Of them
in extrlcatng the team was forced no In

him from the hail stones. The rain was
not heavy. 1t was a great relief but was
not enough to increase the stock water or
give vegetation more than temporary
benefit There was no hail at Waco, but
the wind blew gale and wrecked a few
shaky buildings in the suburbs.
