precincts Us to how last Tuesdays storm
went west Of town, and II was, as we
feared, much worse than 1t was here.
10 fact In some localities It was very de.
straetive. There were several dwellings
/ and large humber Of out buildings
demolished. 70, Imboden's dwelling
and all Of his out buildings. Mr.. I'm.
boden informed US that they had nothing
left but the clothes that they had on
when the storm struck. Here the storm
played one Of its queer freaks. In the
house was q locked trunk containing
among other things, pocket book with
a sum Of money Ia 1t. After the storm
tbs pocket book was found 10 the garden
the money all there all right, but the
trunk nor any Of the contents could not
be found. AT N. |. Hoard's the storm
got In Its work. Mr., Hoard had a new
touse just ready for the plastering and
the plastercrs there ready to 70 to work
but they didn't for the storm just scat
tered that new house all around OH the
prairie. The family and Others that were
there took shelter In a storm cave and the
storm king laid the windmill tower
across the door of the cave and held them
prisoners for while. All Of Mr.. Hoalds
other buildings shared the fate Of his
new house. y. 4. Cummings house and
out buildings were all destroyed and Mr..
Barnes shared the same fate. LATE
Smiths barn waa blown away and his
house considerable damaged, g. |. Smiths
house badly damaged and a school house
In the same locality was destroyed. At
A. Sisson's the storm played another
prank. 1t picked the house up, turned 1t
half way around, set 1t down and left II.
| Before the storm 1t fronted the west,
after the storm the front Is to the east.
There were a number Of others that sut-
fered more or less by the storm whose
names have not learned. Hall accom-.
panied the wind and mos. Of the crops
are badly injured but the greater part Of
The farmers had their wheat crop Insured
and they will not have to stand all of
the loss There WAS another destructive
hall storm north Of town on Thursday,
It did considerable damage on the south
side of the river but the most destructive
part was north or the river. After all It
might have been worse, there were no
lives lost nor no body seriously hurt.
