and pinned to the ground. His shout
der, back and both legs were broken.
He was found in this helpless condi.
ton almost Immediately after the
storm and administered to by physi.
clans, but lived only a short time.
Had he remained in the building he
would have been sefe. No other in
juries are reported. The approaching
storm showed its character, and gave
plenty of warning, and almost the en-
tire population of the town sought
refuge in caves and cellars. Otherwise
the dead and injured would have been
numerous.
The lower end Of Main street is a
scene Of desolation. Buildings were
leveled or unroofed, glass fronts blown
in, and the streets filled with broken
glass and splintered lumber. An in
complete list of damages follow:

wrecked.
