The worst wind and dus, storm
that has ever been known in Eastern
Oregon passed over this section yes
terday afternoon, striking Pendleton
at 4 O'Clock. Shortly before that time
it began to darken in the west, and "a
wind began to blow. However, the
main storm struck so suddenly that
but few knew of its existence until it
was on them. With almost the first
shock 1t turned pitch dark, and moth
ing could be seen for several minutes
Then when II did grow lighter the
sturm was seen to se continuing al
most unabated. For 20 or 80 minutes
the wind blew so hard and the dust
filed the air so thar it was impossible
10 see more than the width of a street.
At ) o'clock, an hour after the storm
first commenced. il had not yet entire
iy subsided.
Quite a number of people and a
number of buggfes and other rigs
were on Main street at the time the
storm began. When II was seen ap-
preaching men connected with stores
or offices rushed to lower windows
and raise awnings. In some instances
this was done Just in time to avoid
the first shock. When the intense
darkness ceased those who had teams
in the streets began to unhitch them
and the horses we're tied to posts in
the streets Efforts were then direct
ed to preventing damage to windows
by awnings that had been torn loose
from their wastenings. Employees OF
stores and others, among whom were
Marshal Coffman and Officer Stevens
worked at this until their hands be
came raw. However, many windows
were broken, anyway. The large
glass window on the furnishing goods
side of Alexander's store was broke n
by a loose bar of iron; both sides of
the front of Sullivan & Bonds store
were broken in, and the windows filled
with dust. Awnings large and small
all along both Main and Court streets
were destroyed, and numerous small
windows were broken.

To add to the disorder last evening
the electric light and telephone wires
were disabled. However, the former
was repaired shortly and the lights
were turned on by nightfaIl, though
the service was interrupted frequently

According to Colonel Boyd at Athe-
ma. the storm reached there shortly
after o'clock and utter darkness pre-
vailed for short time, while the
main storm passed over. Within the
town of Athena but little damage was
done and none in the business portion
of the town. However, some trees
were blown down and many limbs
torn off Reports from the farmers
adjoining the town are to the effect
that the standing grain was injured
somewhat by the storm, but not seri-
ously. AS there was but little grain
left uncut the financial loss in that
section will be light.
Captain Isaacs, postmaster and
mayor of Helix, stated this morning
that the storm reached there about
1880 p. m, and was the worst that he
had seen in 80 years residence in this
county. Darkness prevailed there IS
here, and the wind and dust continued
for nearly an hour, though It was Sc

Windmill and one tree in Helix We're

ers are working again today as usual.

one serious accident as a result OF
the storm has 50 far been reported.
The victim is William Hurley, flag
man in the o. r. & n. construction
gang that has been working near
Bingham Springs station. When the
storm struck yesterday, Hurley, who
is 60 years of age. was sitting in his
tent near the station, and during the
blow a tree fell across the canvas,
striking the old man. He was picked
up by members of the crew and sent
down on special last evening. on
arriving here he was taken to the
hospital and there cared for by DR..
c. ]. Smith.
on examination the old gentleman
was found to have been injured on the
head and back, being paralyzed from
the wiast up. His condition is regard
ed as very serious considering his age.
His home is in Portland.

In the Mountains.

Other accounts received from the
mountains east of here, show that the
storm struck there with probably as
much severity as here. This morning
District Attorney and Mrs. Phelps re-
turned from Hilgard, where they were
visiting yesterday, and they state that
the storm struck heavily at that place.
Also the same darkness prevailed
there as here.

Great Damage to Trees.


In the residence portions of town
most of the damage consisted of
broken trees. I'm many cases trees of
considerable size were blown down or
broken off. and large limbs were torn
from others large cottonwood,
which stood with its base imbedded
in the concrete sidewalk adjoining the
w. S. Byers residence, was uprooted,
bearing up the walk. Another, which
stood beside It, was broken off about
half way to the top. After the storm
the trees in front of the residence of
DIR. c. ]. Smith on Lewis street. looked
as though they had been struck by
tornado, several of them having been
blown down or torn by the wind. The
same scene was presented at other
places along that street. In front of
the residence of Mrs. Leona Thomp-
son. on Water street, a large tree was
broken off and fell across the street.
SntuldT udtndBe 10 Tfle dDONe was
done all over the city, as the storm
completely enveloped every part of it,
and was evidently of about the same
severity. A portion OF the wall sur
rounding the reservoir was blown
down by the wind.
Trains Delayed
No. 2, the eastbound passenger
train, was struck by the storm while
standing at Arlington. The same
darkness occurred there as here, ac-
cordlng to the passengers and train
men. The train then followed the
storm eastward and was in the wind
and dust almost until It reached PEN
dleton. At Echo the storm is said TO
have been particularly bad. The train
arrived here at o'clock.
No. Z, the Walla Walla Pendleton
train met the storm as It was coming
up the canyon from Blue Mountain
station, just the other side of Weston.
However. the wind was high there.
