molished and some Of the chicken were
killed. They belonged TO the caretaker,
Robert, Overing.
School Buildings Damaged.
All Of the school buildings were
somewhat damaged, altho done of the
damage is serious. The largest loss
will probably be at the high school
building. A section Of slate roof on one
Of the south gables was swept away,
and large window in tho study hall
was broken.
A ventilator and part Of the chimney
Of the Arnold building was blown on
the west section of the roof, crushing
it in, over the third grade room. School
was dismissed in this room and also
Miss Mary Halls, the principal.
Shingles were ripped loose from all the
other buildings.
Rain Follows Wind.
Following close after the wind came
a terrific downpour Of rain, that added
to the damage to interiors by driving
thru roofs that had been ripped open.
In few cases the loss due to water
will be considerable. The amount Of
the rainfall can not be told, as the wind
blew away the government water gauge
at the FISHER Governer-. Gompanys
plant. The precipitation must have
been two inches or more.
The first considerable damage done
in the path over which the storm swept
from southwest to northeast across the
city was in the vicinity of the inter-
section Of Fourth and Church streets.
There a tree was blown against the
John Hcdstrom home. 404 West Church
street. DANA ing the cornice and roof.
Trees were broken off and limbs We're
tossed in this neighborhood. also in
the vicinity of Main and Sixth streets.
and Main and Fifth streets. The small
house at 10 North Sixth street. was
damaged when big tree was thrown
against it.
Conditions Were cyclonic.
The conditions that Immediately pre-
coded the storm We're cyclonic in the
extreme. There was a marked rise in
the temperature at about o'clock. and
the temperature went up and ur.
Shortly before the storm broke the air

was reached at that time. Residents
of the city who passed thru the Grim
nell cyclone in 1882 said today that the
roar of the storm before it actually
struck was similar in every way to that
of the Grinnell storm.
Other Damage Done.
Probably as close call to fnhabi-
tants of homes where no one was hurt
was at the f. P. Miller residence. 5l4
North Third street. where the Miller
children were in west sleeping norch:
the roof Of which was torn off and car
ried clear across the Miller lot and into
the yard Of the NJ. j. Boughton

about the limbs of nearby trees. The
children escaped injury Of any kind.

HERMAN SECONDED ALLARD.
Records Show That He Voted For Ap.
pointment Of Deputy Assessor,


pointment Of Deputy Assessor,
Editor Times Repu blican:
1t has been circulated about town
in a printed statement that Council
man Herman fatty denies" that the
council instructed the city assessor to
equalize the big properties with the
small properties and it is charged that
Herman says that he did not even
know that Allard was to be assistant
assessor till he saw his name in the To-
cal paper"
The minutes of the regular council
meeting of Dec. 9. 1912, show that
Lamb moved to ratify the appoint
ment of Allard, that Herman seconded
Lambs motion and that on roll call
the yeas were Jones, Herman, Lamb.
The story is being used against US
that tax assessments have been raised
but the only assessments SO raised
have been on properties Of high value
which had been assessed ridiculously
low and we are willing to publish each
and every assessment of this kind il
the property owner wishes TO submit
his case to the public. w. H. JONES.
