BUCKLIN BREEZES.
From our Regular Correspondent.

/ The wind took a freak on Wednesday
morning. May 81, during the heavy rain
that visited this part of the country that
morning. In the north part of Clark
county it took Will Swartout's house,
making a complete wreck of il. Mrs.
ISwartout went out of the house to look
after something when a part of the
chicken house struck and knocked her
down, hurting her slightly, when she got
up and looked for the house it was gone,
all but the floor. The children were
standing on the floor unhurt, but every
thing else that the house contained was
scattered over the prairie. at Mr.. Kiger's
it took two wind mills, at Il. e. Lyons
it converted his barn into kindling wood
and racked his house considerably. Mr..
HamiIton's wind mill was wrecked; Joe
Sweetman' rs house on his farm south of
Bucklin badly damaged. 1t was
moved some distance off the foundation,
the kitchen torn down and the main
building badly raclSed. The house was
occupied at the time by the family of c.
L. Winter. No one injured. Passing on
it demolished Ed Roden baugh's windmill;
from there to L. s. Lanes, where it took
Lanes large chicken house and wind mill
ane played havoc with Mrs. Lanes large
brood of chicks, and tossed things around
generally; at Dr. Pritchard's it took his
new hundred dollar chicken house and
scattered it over the prairie, wrecked his
wind mill and did other damage. 1t
touched the southeast part of BucL1Iin,
overturning some sheds and outbuildings,
ETC., and making it interesting for the
Inhabitants of that part of town for a lit
tie while. The general direction of the
storm was little north OF east Have
not heard of what damage was done af-
ter passing here.
Owing to a misunderstanding we
failed to mention in these items last
week, the marriage of a couple of our
young friends who haye lived in this vi
entity for the most of their lives, i. e.
Clarence E. Dellinger and Miss May
Davis, who were married Sunday,
May 70, 1902, at p M, at FairView
school house. Rev. E. L. Jones per-
formed the ceremony. the young cou-
pie have the best wishes of their many
friends here They will go to house
keeping in Bucklin soon as they can
get the house to keep.
Work of all kinds is handicapped here
by the wet weather. Funny, isn't il, |
that work should be retarded by rain in |
the Great American Desert. Speaking of
rain, the farmers say that the wheat is |
coming out wonderfully since the rainy |
a yield of the cereal, if there does not |
something else than dry weather get af-
ter it; and such is the fertility of the soil |
here that they VIII be claiming pretty |
soon that even the weeds growing.
Walter Cook, while at work on the
section, had the misfortune to get his an
lle broken, last Monday evening, while
helping to move hand car loaded with
ties. He in some way slipped and his
foot was caught between the handle of
the car and the ties, and his ankle bone
broken, and he is laying off for
a while.

residence in the south part of BuckIin.
Mr. Mathews lived here for some time,
when Bucklin was first built, but like
many others he wandered away, and was
gone for many moons, but now returns
% the old camp ground.
j. r. Smith, while assisting one of
ais neighbors in putting up a new wind
mill in piece of one that the storm
