Of II, if not 20, lives The gale struck
Chicago Thursday night and reached

were heard from. The highest veloci-
ty of the wind at any point was at
Cleveland, where it registered 76 miles
an hour. At Buffalo it blew for some
time over so miles an hour. At the
Straits Of Mackinac and at several

to the terrors of the gale. The storm
center passed directly over the straits
and Sault Ste. Marie, the wind blow
ing from all directions during a period
of II hours. ..
