of windows were broken, every win
dow on the south side of the five-story
st. John block being demolished, while
unprotected windows in other sections
of the city were demolished. Shade
trees were stripped of foliage and gar

parade had just reached the tent on the
return trip when the storm struck. and
there was scene of wild disorder. Hun
dreds of persons having gathered there.
Hail tore through the canvas of the tents
which badly damaged nearly all of them.
The wind came from the south, and after
the heavy stones had fallen for ten
minutes rain followed, and another
downpour of smaller hail fell for several
minutes, until the streets were filled
from curb to curb with six inches or
more of hail. Telephone wires are rem

an estimate of the damage done to
crops at present is mere guesswork.
Hail fell with sufficient force to f1atten
the grain to the ground, and it is feared
most of it has been cut off.
