DAMAGE AT ottumwa.

Ottumwa, Jan 30.-Ottumwa yester-
day and last night was in the grip of
one of the most wicked wind and snow
storms that ever visited the city. After
an afternoon and evening of slow
drizzling rain, the elements turned
vicious While no great damage has
been wrought there are many reports
of injury to property due to the velocity
of the wind. The huge plate glass WIN
dow of the F. G. Graves & Son build
ing, corner Of Second and Washington
street, was demolished by the wind,
and the sign of Morrissey & Sullivan
on East Main street. was blown down.
Trees in the yards Of private residences
have been torn from their roots by The
ravages of the storm, and the lines Of
the telephone and telegraph companies
have suffered considerably. The great
est sufferers, however, of the storm
are the railroads. The Burlington
west-bound freight trains are all IN
nulled and the passenger trains are
running far behind schedule. The same
condition exists on the other roads.
The grade schools dismissed studies
at noon and the high school closed FOR
the day at $3.50 o'clock.
