Buildings Unroofed and Crops Leveled
Trees and Wires Down.
Special to les-Republican.
Reinbeck, Aug. 1.-THE worst wind
storm in years in this vicinity created
havoc in this town and vicinity last
evening shortly after o'clock. While
several buildings were partially de-
stroyed, there was no loss of life and
no one was injured.
The general direction of the storm
was from north to SOUTH but the wind
was variable and almost assumed the
nature of tornado. The warehouse
pany was unroofed,, and a section of
the roof was lifted bodily, carried high
in the air and over the Windsor hotel,
and landed In the street over a block
distant. A warehouse at the Gethman
brick yards was also unroofed, and
other buildings were partially disman-
tied. Shade trees in all parts of town
were broken.
Corn fields in the country adjacent
to town were leveled and small grain
in the shock was scattered about the
fields. What small grain that was un-
cut was also leveled and ruined. 1t is
believed the growing corn will straight
en- up and that the crop is not materi-
ally damaged.
Lightning struck the barn on the
Ben Davis place, killing a COW that
Davis was milking, and rendering him
unconscious, in which condition he re-
mained two hours.

storm of last evening was one of the
worst experienced this season. Hun
dreds of shade trees thruout the city
were ruined, while reports of live wires
being down came in at the police sta
ton thruout the night. 1t will be for
tunate, indeed, if no serious damage
results from so many wires being
down. Telephones were burned out
in many places. One at the first sta
tion went wrong just at the time the
firemen wanted 1t to be right. Reports
OF fires came from several parts of
the city. coming both to the police
station and the fire station. So far as
possible to ascertain, however, the only
fire within the city that was result
of the storm was at the residence of
Elias Hahn, $40 Second avenue, west,
where lightning entered the house
thru the roof. One bed was set on
fire and the blaze worked in around
the window castings. While the ac-
tual damage from fire was compara-
lively small the damage to the house
and to the furniture caused by food
ing the upper story will be in the
