 The hailstorm that visited this sec- tion last week Wednesday was an ex- perience of lifetime to those who witnessed it. Hailstones so large that when they crashed through the windows had to be chopped up before they could be thrown out doors were not seen in this locality. Neither is it true that J. H. Westerfield secured his next seasons supply of ice by opening his ice house door, but it is a fact that within an easy stone throw of the store steps 100 lights o1 glass were broken by the hail, and oi course many more in and about the village. There are now marks on the sides and roofs of buildigns made by the hailstones. J. O. Jennings ad- mits that he did not shovel two bush els of hailstones out of his hammock after the storm, but he is convinced that the Bull Moosers are in some way to blame for the disaster.
