The burning out of chimney in
Frank L. Amesburys home on Bruns-
wick avenue early last evening
caused slight damage to one of the
upstair chambers. A fire was start
ed in the fireplace and got to burning
SO briskly that the SCOT in the CHM
ney caught fire and the heat caused
some of the laths around the chimney
IN one of the upper rooms to burn.
An alarm was sounded for District
80 and the fire was soon extinguished
after the department arrived It was
stated that the chimney had been
clogged with SCOT and thus easily
caught. The damage is but little and
is covered by insurance

WsHbHe, n. L., Reports D i
Werst Blow in Years.
Wires Down, Trees Torn Up
and Houses Unroofed.
Cyclone Lasts 20 Minutes In Mar
row Strip Of Country.

WolfeborO. n. H., Oct. All day to-
day scores of town and county en-
ployes, electric and telephone linemen
and many more volunteers, have been
busily engaged in clearing away the
wreckase caused by the cyclone of yes
terday and re-establshing commune
cation with the outside world.
Almost before daylight the telephone
linemen began to pour into the town
from all quarters and it was not long
after before telephone service was re-
established to some extent and tonight
the lines are in operation with the ex-
ception of a few in the outlying dis
tricts, almost as usual.
The linemen We're early on the scene
but no earlier than the farmers and
roadmen. They found big task before
them in clearing away the fallen trees
which blocked many of the roads. Some
Of the logs were dragged out of the way
and still others had to be chopped up
to open the usual avenues of travel but
it was not many hours before practi-
cally all signs of the wind storm had
disappeared from the streets at least.
All day long reports of the havoc
wrought by the cyclone. which natives
insist was the worst that the town ever
encountered continued to pour into the
center of the town. Reports of fruit
trees stripped of their fruit, OF giant
trees torn up by the roots, and of
small buildings shaken from their
foundations and in some instances un-
rooted, were commend.
No reports have been received, how
ever, Of serious injury to any person
and it is believed that all of the resi-
dents escaped.
Indications tonight are that the loss
on buildings may not be as great as
was at first feared. The loss on
fruit trees and timber however, will be
considerable.
Sanbornville, N. H., Oct 1.-For 20 min
utes this afternoon Wolfboro, - miles
from here, was the center of a cyclone
such as has never before visited New
Hampshire. which left in it's wake un-
rooted houses, barns and outbuildings
blown from their foundations and in some
instances completely demolished whole
groves of trees uprooted and gravestones
and monuments in Lakeview cemetery
blown about in widest confusion. The
falling trees carried with them telephone
telegraph and electric wires, completely
isolating the town from outside commu-
nication, while the trees themselves so
effectually blocked the roads that it was
hours before the first news Of the disas-
ter reached here and then it was brought
by messengers who were obliged literally
to chop their way much Of the distance.
All of the damage was done within a
strip of territory less than half a mile in
width and 10 miles in length. passing al
most through the center Of the town. and
although the blow lasted for 20 minutes
the greater part of the damage was done
during the first two minutes. The cyclone
originated at Lake Winnepesaukee and
apparently ended as suddenly as it start
ed.
