Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1903-07-23

pEotecI WINDOWS, mucn glass was bro
ken. Windmills were blown down by
the dozens. Few buildings in tb,
county, however, were damaged.
We have no means of knowing-what
Iportion of the losers had hail insur.
ance. The Elkhorn Mutual has hal
department in its company, but it is
reported that owing to the small ter.
ritory the company operates on and
the vide prevalence Of the storm in
that territory, that the company will
not be able to render much aid to its
members Many others are insured
in other companies and win receive
assistance.
About fifty loads OF hogs were
brought into Audubon from the storm
stricken territory yesterday. Much OF
the marketable stock will be turned of
at once.
Some of the small grain can be
moved and some feed got from it.
Some of the corn may make a part
crop. But the disaster is great. Fig
uring conseryatively, we think the loss
of five dollars an acre on an average
was sustained on nearly three town
ships. This would run up to over
800, 900 in this county.
Usually hail storm only takes a
narrow strip, say two or three miles.
A cyclone seldom destroys more than
a quarter of mile strip. But this
exceeded, in the width of the strip and
completeness Of the damage, any
storm ever before known in this vicin-
ity. Twenty years ago this summer
a destructive hail storm passed over a
part OF the county, but much smaller
part than this one.
But little damage was done in Car
roll county So far as we can learn
the hail storm started in the odge of
Crawford county, doing a little dam
age west and south of Manning. There
were heavy hail storms in O'Brien
+and Pocahontas counties the same
afternoon, bat we can not learn that
this was q continuation of any of
them. This one extended on down
through Cass. county.
