from the pretty little village OF Hunt

William Mooney, is lost somewhere
within the confines OF the metrop'
olitan Columbus. and her husband
doesn't know where to find her.

men and 81 reporters on the lookout.
Sarah Frances. when last seen, wore
a black skirt. black tie, black hat.
black feathers, black jacket (short)
black shoes and a white shirtwaist.
With her husband, she was walking
south on High-st.. and he stopped to
see some one about work, telling her
to keep on walking until he overlook
her. If she followed his instructions,
she is probably about three miles from
Circleville, py this time, as he hasn't
overtaken her yet.
Mrs. Mooney knows her address on
South High-st, but she doesn't know
the names OF the streets and her hus-
band fears she deviated from his In
structions and the main travelled road
at the same time, and has become
lost. At any rate. she hasn't reached
home. II Is thought she will be found
before the day is over. as she and her
husband have never had any trouble
in their two years OF married life-as
she never was lost before. They ar
rived In Columbus from Huntington
two weeks ago.

Although equal in its effects TO
many cyclones or tornadoes, the wind
that caused this havic was only an
unusually severe thunderstorm. From
1898 TO 1885 p. m. II swept the city
from southwest to northeast in
diagonal path about four miles wide
through the heart OF the thickly set
tied district.
Its velocity during these FIVE min
utes was 81 miles an hour. Higher
winds have been experienced here,
but never for such a prolonged period.
The city's churches and school
houses were the greatest sufferers.
The storm ripped the steeples and
chimneys ard shattered costly colored
windows in 30 places OF worship.
Seventeen schools had walls, roofs,
cornices or windows blown In. All
that saved heavy loss Of life here was
the fact that the storm struck while
the children were dismissed for the
noon recess. Three schools were
struck by lightning, but saved by the
! fire department.
The Leisy Brewing Co.'S plant was
damaged to the extent of 100000. The
Cleveland Cooperative Stove Co. lost

Uttered with debris, fallen trees and
tangled wires.
The storm tore across northern
Ohio but thus far the only loss of life
reported from outside the city is one
dead at Ashtabula. Property damage

HERE'S $3.50 FOR SOMEONE;
DON'T ALL SPEAK AT ONCE
Old Check, Unearthed In City Treas
urer's Office, Recalls Some
Interesting History.

a mold check for $3.50, which has
been unearthed in the files of the city

possession. u. Grant Grummond. the
owner began proceedings against the
city and got verdict for $16.696,
which was appealed. The court OF ap-
peals recersed the judgment and or
dered a new trial, which has never
been seld
In the meantime, the old hulk was
towed to the marine boneyard, near
the foot OF Twenty-fourth-st II be-
came necessary to dispose of her and
Capt E. T. Hawley offered to do so
and to give $3.50 for the wreck.

1907, represents his payment, and 1t
was stipulated that this amount
should 60 to the defeated party In the
