HEAVY CLOUD or DIST
RLoTS OUT THE SUN

Pierre, S. D., June. 3.-A most pecu-
NaP natural phenomenon occurred here
on Memorial day. A terrific wind blew
ali day until about 5 ID. M, carrying
with It "a great cloud OF dust com
pletely filling the air. Later the wine
increased in velocity md the dust
changed from the ordinary coarse.
wind-driven material to as fine as
sifted flour. OF a sudden the wind
ceased, but n dust remained sus-
pended in the air to such a~n"eStent that
buildings from two TO three blocks away
were invisible and at its greatest den-
sity the sun was obscured. This con
dition continued about an hour, dur
ing which time a thin mantle OF dirt
covered everything. In the end q
breeze sprang up from n west n
slowly carried away the cloud. There
was a period Of some 10 minutes IN
which the air to the west OF Pierre
was as clear as ever. while that to y
east was filled with the wall OF dust
to the zenith.
United States Weather Observer
Rowe thinks there must have been a
cyclone in the adjacent country, which
raised the dirt to q great height. Thia
hypothesis is strengthened by the fact
that black, clouds hung about the city
In the late afternoon. resulting in q
