PcroheS Tapping about -nadly m the air. shingles doing a double tattv, upon buildings, small houses be.ns blown to pieces and turning tartIN, such was the pandemonius Su.,s.i reigned Sunday afternoon fer about three hours, when a gale. probably the hardest experienced in the a,s tory of recent years sl Bisbee, ragged. Hun6reds of dollars worth e u..a.. age was done by the gale. althouAn, fortunately. no one was seriously hurt
 Shortly after the noon hour the storm, which had blown with some velocity all the morning, increased in violence, and until nearly 3.30 it ragged
 internationally, doing great al,so...> of property damage all ov0r the aIs- trict.
 Not half of the destruction wrought could be ascertasned yesterday. One Of the first and most remarkable cases was when a Mexican shack on Chi huahua Hill was overturned and mar rowly escaped catching fire from the stove inside.
 The porch of the residence occupiez- by N. A. Patterson on School ftln was torn from its fasteniihgs ana went sailing away. The porch eG Mrs. hu. dles residence oa Clawson avenue followed the same example. At Tom Spanlding's residence on School nii, the porch and a portion ~ the roU. were torn of and the timhers fy1ns through the ar tore away a portion or the house belonging tO NIT. BulI-a Of the Copper Queen store A ce- ment block Aouse occupied by Prank Johnson had the tin roof raised aDou, ten inches by the wind The Tesi- dence of F. E. Bellamy suffered the loss of a perch. A like fate befeil the home of sLT. Braziel on School Hill. The roof of the powder house at the Briggs shaft was ripped of ana nen for more than 100 feet beFore it nnaIy lighted upon the ground.
 Houses up Brewery gulch ana upper Tombstone Canyon suffered at i so in the same manner, at least tsh being unroOfed or losing porcHcs. ! Plate glass and house windows were ! broken in many places. The most SC r.ous loss was at the StaIey grocei 7 on upper TombsSoEe- Canyon where a large plate glass window was biO"u
 Tn and smashed to small frasmemus.
 At Lowell much dagame Was done also. severai small houses being unroofed. 4 small shack occupied by a Mexican family near the c. & A. 1 hospital was torn to pieces. 1 Warren was where the greatest force q the wind was felt. A large
 lumber shed belonging to the Cochiss ] Lumber company was flattened to the
 ground, some of the planking beine carried away. A peculiar freak of the storm occurred when the perch Of II J. Adams residence was torn from its fasten'ngs and sailed clear o,ei fhe b"nse and almost to tht home oi ar Whiteley. 300 yards away. Tin town. the Mexican settlement. sui. | fered greatly, several houses being razed
 At South B.sbee a small house turn. ed turtle, but luckily no one was n, it at the time.
 Some very amusing incidents were noted while the storm was at its height. One woman telephoned to a local peace officer telling him that the shingles of her roof were DeIug blown on. What shall do about st?' sine queried.
 My only advice is 10 get up on the roCf and sit on it." replied the gallant but thoroughly puzzled sleutn. MOtorman Melvin of the BiSbee- Warrent line saw Q violent gust of wind coming toward him, and just be- fore it reached the speeding trolley he invountarily tucked his head. It vas lucky for him that he d'd so. as h1. erTQ efr9a the window behind which he was standing proved too frail to withstand tae force Of the storm and fell, splint- ering upon him. iniicting several slight cuts.
 Telephone and telegraph wire.,, -. well as the electric light facilities Oi the district, were injured to some ca tent. but were quickly repaired. At Naco and at Cananea the storm was felt al it's Rill force. especially at the latter place where . dust storm of such proportions that one facing it could hardly breathe was felt. No 70 rious accidents are reported s,OI,, either place, 3lthough it is stated s-s- leral persoas wers slightly hurt oy flying debrfs.
