His Experiences
One well known young man tells
OF his experiences during the cyclone
as follows: my umbrella failed to
keep the rain out 30 walked upon a
porch block from Main street and
directly In the path of the gale,
which, at that time, Of course, did
not know was coming. The porch
started to rock, the brick came tum-
bling down from the chimney above,
and boards and other debris from the
Estey plant were falling on all sides
of me. started to leave my perilous
position, then the wind whipped
away my hat and umbrella. / got on
another porch and later went home
bareheaded. Sunday afternoon
saw my derby hat within a block of
where it had blown away but it was
too badly battered to be of any use."
AS complete a collapse as any
building experienced, was the lot of
the Headley photograph gallery on
West Main street. From all indica-
tons, one side fell in, another side
fell on that and then came the roof,
making a pile of boards not more
than three or four feet high. The
photographs that had been displayed
in the cases fastened on the outside
of the building, are now serving as
souvenirs of Owosso's ''big wind"
for a number of local young people,
who clipped them clear of their moor
ings at 2 o'clock Sunday morning.
From various sources, come. re-
ports of many people being struck
and slightly injured by falling
branches during the gale. One or
two are said to have been stunned in
this way in the northern part of the
city, butwho they are cannot be
learned.
COrunna People Here
Corunna people showed great in
terest in the results of the cyclone
Sunday by coming over in scores af-
ter the lone electric car on the Owes
so-Corunna line was put in operation
All day long people from all parts OF
the city visited the stricken districts.
and although lacking light that was
extremely favorable for their pur-
pose, amateur photographers with
all sizes of cameras, were in their
glory, swapping the truly unusual
scenes.
Things the Cyclone Did
Lowered trees and telephone
poles on South Chapman street to
such an extent that the street was
hardly in passable condition Sunday.
Bowled over some of the largest |
and oldest trees in the city.
Shattered the city's water tank |
near the West Main street bridge,
hurting the tank proper across the |
street 'and setting it upright on the |
bridge.
Broke nearly every window in the |

No Water Pressure

Rtktf No WotCE KGSceHo
Two hours after midnight, Mayor
Sprague was seen with only his over
coat to protect his inner clothing
from the drenching, driving rain
and carrying lantern returning
from search by himself and EN-.
ployes OF the board of public works
for q bursted water main that threat
ened destruction to the entire city,
in case a serious fire broke out.
The mayor was dripping wet and
withdrew into a doorway to speak to
a couple of acquaintance whom he
met near the X. of p. rink.
What / am worrying about" said
bis honor. nervously "is the fact
that II a FIRE broke out right now, we
couldn't throw water two inches out
of the end of the hose. There's not
pound of pressure available at the
plant and we are making frantic eff
forts to find where the broken main
is. We have shut of the water gates
in the main leading to the Estey
plant and have looked for the diff
Guilty at the Woodland and Bentley
plants but so far have been unable to
locate it."
The trouble was finally discovered
at 6 o'clock Sunday morning in the
mains leading to the Estey plant,
and the firemen especially Chief
Craig heaved sigh of relief when the
pressure was brought up to some
thing like normal Twenty pounds
pressure is the most we could raise
all night, remarked the chief Sunday
afternoon.
Luckily there was no fire through
cut the night. and Sunday morning,
at 10 O'clock when the fire whistle
blew it was found, that an alarm had
been sounded because of the cross
ing of wires is some portion of the
city.
THE indicator registered No. 2l
at the waterworks and they blew the
whistle but there was no fire" said
Chief Craig. ut might be well to in
form the people that the fire alarm
system is out of order completely,
making it impossible to summon the
department in this way. Then too,
until the telephone companies get
their lines repaired it may be impos-
sible to reach us from all parts OF
the city,"
Horse Lifted off Feet
1T takes pretty strong wind to
lift horse off his feet, but that same
occurred near my house during that
storm Saturday night said H. S.
McKeeby, the West Main street
blacksmith who resides on South
Chapman street. "The horse and rig
were picked right up and landed in a
leap near the sidewalk. The man
who was driving the horse and the
animal itself were uninjured."
The storm resulted disastrously |
of this city. Bailey was driving |
home with young lady friend, when |
his horse became entangled in wire |
that was lying across the street, the |
spirited animal started kicking and |
before he could be extricated he had |
reduced the buggy to kindling. Bail
ey secured another buggy from a |
local livery barn and drove home al
ter the storm had passed.
So securely were Mr.. and Mrs. |
Corwin imprisoned in their bed that |
II required several men and much |
time to release the lifeless bodies. |
The iron bedstead was forced down |
ward over their bodies and in TAX |
ing them out, the rescuers used an |
axe to break the iron rods. The vic |

MUSICAL CONTEST
PROVING POPULAR
NUMBER OF CONTESTANTS HAVE
ALREADY APPEARED FOR
preliminary.
PopuIar Airs Seem to Be More in Evi.
dence Than Work Of Old Masters
Concert Next Week.

The musical contest which is being
conducted at the Industrial Exposition
under the direction of Prof. Paolo
LaVilla, of st. Paul, is proving very
popular and already number of con-
testants have appeared for their pre-
liminary examination.
It is noticeable that most of the con.
testants have chosen popular selec'
tions rather than the works of-the
old masters for their numbers. How
ever, when the big public concert is
given next week, Prof. LaVilla is GER
tain that he will be able to furnish
the music lovers of the city and the
exposition guests with program
which will prove highly entertaining.
Some of the contestants in this con-
test, the first prize in which is hand
some $3.50 Bush and Gerts piano, are
a little slow about entering and it is
expected that they will all appear for
the preliminary work at once. The
more contestants, the greater will be
the race for the coveted piano.
Next week a public concert will be
given by the various entrants and at
that time it is expected that the an
nouncement of the names of the prize
winners will be made.
