Friday night storm handled some
Of his property pretty severely.
His smokehouse and buggy shed
were blown dow and demolished,
and his meat and jars Of fruit scat
tered around promiscuously. Some
of his fences also went down before
the wind, which he says assumed
some Of the proportions of a twis-
ter in his locality. The wind and
general demonstration Of the ele-
ments was rather severe in Bryan
and cansed many people to get out
Of their beds, but no damage be-
yond a few limbs blown from the
trees was reported yesterday. At

blown out.
