turned around about a foot, while the
other was moved several feet in 4
straight line.
In All Directions.
That the air currents were travelling
in a revolving manner is indicated by
the fact that loose articles were hurle |
in various directions. At one place
two bulky articles were picked up, and
one sent almost directly west and the
other in straight line east.
1t appears that the storm hit the
earth at about Twelfth street, for bu;
little evidence of the wind is show
west of that point.
Sheds in the nGighbOrhoOd of Thir-
tieth street and Eighteenth avenue
were also blown over, and throughout
the district south of the city limits
trees were blown down and hundreds
of limbs were torn from the trunks OF
others.
Considerable damage was done to
corn, and fruit trees were i'll many in
stances broken by the wind.

the same path, though more to the

is rare thing for a storm OF this char

Big Window Broken.
The large plate glass window i'll the
west side of the front of the Hub cloth
ing store, Eighteenth street and Sec
.ond avenue, was broken during the
first part OF the storm. A sale sign had
been hung to the Hub sign in front of
the store, and while the wind was
blowing at its hardest last night one
end of the sign came loose and blew
against the glass, breaking it into 4
thousand pieces. Detective Cox was
standing across the street and saw the
sign swinging, but before he could get
across the street it had shattered the
window. He Immediately called l.. r.
