Killed by Cyclone

John Baldridge, of nine miles
southeast of Tahoka. was killed
in wind storm Wednesday
night.
Thursday morning word was
telephoned to Tahoka from John
Donaldson's farm that the home
of John Baldridge was blown
away and John had been found
dead out in the pasture. Moth
ing more could be learned until
the friends and relatives arrived
in town with the corpse about
one O'Clock IN the afternoon.
Wednesday evening about 1880
O'Clock a dark and angry looking
cloud came up rapidly from the
northwest and here in Tahoka
we had one Of the worst storms
of thunder, lightning, wind,
rain and hail ever experienced
here.
John Baldridge, a bachelor
farmer, living nine miles south
east of here, was over at the
home of his neighbor Mr.. Crouch
when he saw the cloud rising,
and in spite of all entreaties to
stay all night, started home, and
was seen no more until Thursday
morning when his bruised and
battered body was found, 40
Yards from the site of his house
where he had lived for ten years.
The house was one-room Ia
foot structure with no ceiling
and was completely demolished.
The roof was found about 80
yards southeast of where the
house stood and the flooring and
walls were torn to bits and
scattered for mile or more.
A wagon bed with sheet and
bows that John used to sleep in
and stood close to the house, re-
manned untouched as did chicken
coop and horse sheds. while the
COW lot fence and windmill were
demolished, the windmill tower
having three anchor posts twist
ed off and one pulled up and the
top of the tower pointing back
toward the well.
The body of Mr.. Baldridge
was badly bruised. with the left
cheek bone broken, the forehead
crushed and an ugly cut across
the lower part OF the abdomen.
Also there were many nail holes
where the body had evidently
