which the Chautauqua meetings are
being held at the fair grounds. DR..
Clark was making an address when
the storm came up but it was not
thought it would amount to much,
but the wind got under the tent
which is only a top affair and the
guy stakes pulled out and then one
of the large center poles broke off
about ten feet from the ground and
swept through the crowd. George S.
Tinlin was struck on the head and
side by the pole and had three ribs
broken. M. V. Courtright and Mrs.
w. T. Wescott were struck on the
head by the pole and both received
ugly gashes but were not seriously
injured. The tent was guyed to three
large trees and all the ropes broke
and let the three large poles and
tent drop onto the crowd. There was
great excitement for a short time as
it was thought perhaps some people
were killed or badly injured, but as
luck would have it only the three
above mentioned were injured. The
program for the day was postponed
until evening when it was carried
out from the band stand in the park
on the publice square where it was
witnessed by an immense crowd. The
tent was in readiness for the continu-
alton of the Chautauqua program to-
