STORM lN Two coUNTlEs.
Marshall and Jasper Visited by Heavy
Winds. e


Winds.
Marshalltown. April 2s,--A terrific
storm, assuming the proper
tions of a tornado, did several thous-
and dollars worth of damage in Mar
sMall and Jasper counties Friday
night. Many barns and outbuildings
northwest Of the city We're destroyed,
and in Melbourne, in the southwestern
part of the county, considerable dam
age is reported. The worst damage
was done on the farm of Wal
lace Arney, where two big barns were
blown down and completely wrecked.
Mr. Arney is just finishing fine new
home, and this was torn and twisted
out of shape SO badly that rebuilding
will be necessary. The family had not
moved into the new house. To that
fact is due perhaps that none OF the
members were hurt, as the old house
was not materially damaged. Two
new steel tower windmills were wreck.
ed, corn cribs were blown down and
fences scattered Trees were uproot-
ed. Cattle sheds were carried away
and everything of movable nature
overturned. North of the Arney farm
the storm struck the Will McLelland
farm, which is occupied by Oscar
Hamburger. Here the wind blew
down the farm house and barn and did
considerable damage. The storm ap-
pears to have been of rather small
area, SO far as reports can be obtained.
1t seemed to move in a northeasterly
direction. A number of other farm
houses and barns were unroofed and
badly twisted, but the force of the
winds seemed to be greatest in the
vicinity above mentioned.
North Jasper and the vicinity of
Baxter report heavy damage to build,
ings and much stock killed. So far
as known no lives were lost.
Two children named Brown, of
Jasper county. were killed. Their
mother was thrown several feet into
wire fence and fatally injured.
Sioux City, April 2S.-Reports show
tLat the storm damage in Sioux City
will be over $4,000. Nearly every
residence and business house suffered
some damage from torn roofs or
broken glass.

WOrthen, who is favOrably known in Bridgeport, is a member of the choir and will come with them. He says this will be a rare opportunity to hear some fine music. c. K. Baker is director of the choir. Hear what the Evening Sentinel of Ansonia had to say about them in a recent concert given there:
 ''FOr nearly two hours the large au- dience was delighted with choruses, solos, trios, and quartets taken from the most classic music of the church, and rendered in fine form.. Among the solOists was Ellie Lockwood, and his magnificent soprano voice called forth unstinted applause. He is without a doubt the finest boy soprano yet heard in this place. He sang, "Oh, for the Wings of a Dove" and.the "HOly City, in a manner that held his hearers spellbound, and in the "Inflammatus,' J from ROssini's "Stabat Mater," his voice was at it's best.''
 It is possible that the choir will be engaged to sing at one of the churches on Sunday, August "A.

Fire At Sandy Hook. THE CARROLL BUILDING
 DESTROYED.
Hose and Men From Factory of
 Fabric Fire Hose Co.
SAVES NElohBoRINd PROPERTY.
A Big Crowd At The Fire.

Sandy Hook had a sensation of the when the residence and store building of Mrs Patrick Carroll was burned to the ground. Smoke was discovered issuing from the roof by Francis Car mody about 12.3O, who quickly gave the alarm. One of the first to arrive at the scene was Former Representa- tive M. F. Houlihan, who rushed up the back stairs of the Carroll building. The door was locked, but after several efforts he broke open the door. Pass ing up another stairway to the attic he discovered the blaze, which had eaten small hole through the roof. A number of men soon arrived and bucket brigade was formed, but the ina short time. Louis Greer was pass ing and MT Houlihan dispatched him to the factory of the Fabric Fire Hose Co. for men and hose. Response was made as quickly as possible. Several hundred feet of hose were brought up from the factory, but this was not suf- ticient and hose was secueed from the Brick store and coupled on. The pump at the Dutch shop was started and a strong stream turned on the blaze. The building burned slowly most of the afternoon, but the neigh boring buildings were saved. Those who manned the hose were Thomas F. Bradley and William Egan, who did splendid work. Had the hose not been secured the fire would have swept to MT Crofutts' residence, as a stiff wind prevailed. The insurance was about $500, placed through the agency of w. A. Leonard. At the time of the fire Mrs Carroll was away from the house, having gone to look at some crops some distance from the house. Tee fire is supposed to have originated from the chimney.
