TRAIN INJURED BY HAIL
Texas Pacific Train Caught in Hail
Storm Near Abilene. - Steam Heat
Had to be Turned On.

Fort Worth, Texas. July s.
Texas e. Pacific train No 4. due
to arrive in FIT. Worth last night
at 6 o'clock, did not reach the
depot until $3.50 o'clock. having
been delayed Oh account of the
severe hailstorm. The tram was
50 badly damaged that another
was made up in Ft Worth, the
damaged train being sidetracked
To those who viewed the train
sight was presented that was
never seen in FIT. Worth before.
Windows were broken entirely
out, the sides Of the cars were
battered and all of the paint was
knocked off the tin roof.
In the train were three coaches,
two express and baggage cars, one
mail car and coach combined and
one Pullman. In the Pullman
all of the lower windows were as
sound as a dollar, but several of
the ventilation windows were
smashed to pieces.
Hardly u half dozen sound win.
dows were left in all of the other
cars-that is on the side that
went against the hail-and the
sides Of the cars looked for all she
world like the Japs had been can
nonading them with marbles.
In many instances whole chunks
of wood were taken out of the
sides, and window sashes were
broken.
About II 30 the passengers on
this train met with this ex-
perience:
Between Merkel and Abilene q
very heavy black cloud blew up
from the northwest and with it
came wind and hail.
In describing the storm, G. D..
Lovelace, one of the passengers,
said: The hail broke out the
glass on the side the storm came
from and the wind was SO strong
it blew the hail clear through the
car and broke the glass on the
other side. The passengers stood
up and held TO the backs of the
seats to keep from being struck
by the hailstomes. As it was, all
the passengers got wet. Only
those IN the Pullmans went un.
scathed. The nailstones only
broke the one outside window of
the two with which the Pullmahs
are provided. Luckily no one
was seriously hurt. Several were
cut by flying glass and several got
bruises from the hallstones, hut
no bad accidents were reported.
The hail storm lasted three.quar-
tiers of an hour, ruined the crops.
Everything was beaten flat. Dur
ing the time it lasted three inches
of hail fell.
