chimneys from their bases, rocked
houses on their foundations and
drove great clouds of dust into the
rooms of the weary sleepers who can
not slumber without leaving their
windows sufficiently open to furnish
considerable fresh air. 1t was a
grouchy Las Vegan that awoke this
morning to hear the wind still howl

it's mouth; it was wearied because
it's slumbers had been troubled by
rattling windows and its ears and
ewes were full of dirt. The wind
continued to blow with considerable
force all day.
Not a great deal of damage was
done The Colorado Telephone com

much damage to their lines.
