Last Thursday was model day, with tenn
perature above so, until shortly after 6 p. IN. i,
when very threatening clouds gathered in the
northeast, and the wind began soughing and
signing in such a manner as to indicate the
approach Of heavy storm. For a very short
time there was dead calm, and then. as it
gathering all its strength, the wind seemed to
blow from every part of the compass. rush
was made by all who were enjoying the previ-
Gus gentle breeze to close every door and
window, but many were too late, and their
residences were filed with dust, which rushed
up and down the streets. The dust storm was
particularly hard on those who had finished
housecleanng. Very little rain fell, and as
the indications continued so threatening but
few left their residences.
