uation is all the more grave because Il
constitutes a unanimous protestation
Of the population, and being unaccom-

Marcellan Albert, leader Of the move-
ment, was until a couple of months ago

Special to Times.Republican.
Pleasantville, June 10.-Pleasantville
was struck by a tornado about 4
o'clock Sunday afternoon as the results
Of which property was damaged to the
amount of $25,O00 and q dozen famie
lies are homeless. Threatening clouds
Had passed over all day and towards
evening. a lull fell over the vicinity
followed by distant roaring in the
woodland south OF the village. Angry
rolling clouds made their appearances
and In another instant a cyclone had
struck the south portion of town. NO
loss Of life Is reported. 1T took its way
toward the east, wiping out all in itS3
path. laN
The first house of any size to be de-5
stroyed was that belonging to Elmer
Baker. The structure was completely
demolished as well as the furniture.
The family was away at the time, The
place OF William Harvey was the next;
In the path. His house was destroyed
to such an extent that it will Of neces-i
sity begtorn down. The barn is total
wreck. The Harvey family took refuge
in the cellar and barely escaped with
their lives. The new home Of Marion
Howsair and that of his brother. Ira
Howsair were torn and twisted from
their Foundation and laid on their sides.
Trees at this point two feet in diameter:
were upturned. After demolishing the
barn Of Albert Hickman the storm
made its departure over an open field
toward the northeast.
Thruout Marion county the damage
to growing crops will be large. Rural
telephone lines are down as a result
Of the storm and for that reason it is
impossible to secure an estimate OF ths
amount Of damage.
