This question is being asked and

and completely demolished The barn
Was likewise wrecked
T. +. Bowman, son of the deceased
lady, tells a most exciting story of
the storm, Shortly before 1890, as
near as he could Judge, he was
awakened by wind Jumping out Of
bed, he hurriedly began dressing
when Of a sudden, the house was torn
in a hundred parts and he was hurled
with the wreckagc about eighty feet
to the north Upon regaining con-
sciousness, he found himself buried
beneath two walls and heap Of
boards and timbers He worked his
way out with his lone right arm
having lost his left in a corn shred
der some years ago. When he had
gained his release, he ran to- his
mother and found her dead Mr.
Bowman was badly bruised and cut
about the head and shoulders.

a miraculous escape He was sleep

over a large area OF ground. The
backs of the sheep were broken.
The barn of p ]. Counerton, OF Sum-
ner township and some two miles
from the Bowman farm, was blown
down. Three cows in the barn were
killed.
AT the Frank Pollasky farm, for
merly known as "Ambleside, damage
TO the extent Of several hundreds Of
dollars occurred One large shed was
destroyed, his horse barn moved sew
eral feet on its foundation, fences re-
moved and crops leveled. In Mr.
Pollasky's woods trees measuring two
feet through were snapped off as
pipe stems, while in an adjoining
field potatoes were removed from the
earth, corn husked and beets pulled
by the suction OF the storm Like
al storms OF similar nature, many
freaks OF the wind were in evidence
throughout the entire district Sun
day was beautiful day and it is a
conservative estimate to say that
from 5000 to 1000 people visited the
scene of destruction during the day.
