storm picked up their shocks of grain
and scattered the products Of the har-
vest in all directions.

The church is valued at about IS, 900.
Some tornado insurance was carried.
The townships visited by the storm
were north Cato township, central

was attacked by an enraged man, sup
posed to be her husband, with a long
bladed penknife as she stepped out
Of an elevator at the Hibbs building
this morning after a visit to an Office
on an upper floor. Fortunately for
the woman. whose identity is still un-
known. there were several elevator
conductors present. They ran between
the couple. and one warded off the
thrust aimed at the woman. and is
said to have received the point of the
knife blade in his right arm.
The employees pounced upon the
man, overpowered him, and wrested
the weapon from his hand.

The woman took advantage Of the
opportunity and fled screaming from
the building. while scores of men and
women from the government bureaus
in the vicinity were passing by on
their way home. The man. who was
