HEAVY WIND STORM.

Much Property Destroyed and There Are
Fears of Loss Of Life.

Indianapolis. Feb. s--A wind storm

points in Illinois indicate that the
storm was most terrific at Collinsville,

north Of Collinsville indicate that there
must have been considerable loss OF

The storm seems TO have passed
down the Indiana-Illinois line to Evans

indicate that the wind reached almost
the velocity OF a tornado at many
points.
Near the village Of Cantane, H., a
large farm house was completely de-

Of his family escaped. In the same To-
