Between Chipeta and Gunni-
son avenues on North Fourth six
trees crushed the trolley wire
system to the ground and COM
pletely blocked the avenue. The
same was true on South Fourth

The high school building was
somewhat damaged, many win

the school girls were blown over
the grounds and badly bruised.
Others clung TO small trees for
20 minutes, afraid to move. Miss
Edith Glassford was blown down
and badly bruised. The little
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. c. L.
Watson was picked up bodily
and blown across the street, but
was NOT injured.

to the subject of "An IHopportune

Mr.. Walker contended that the
submission of the liquor question at

first. because it was foredoomed to
failure, and, second, because it would

BREAKING GALE SWEEPS OVER VALLEY
\ SIXTY-MILE gale shortly after o'clock
~ today caused $4,000 loss to buildings
and public utilities and caused the serious if not
fatal injury Of Alfred Gallupe the ten-year-oId
son Of Mrs Ella NJ. GaIupe.

Young Gallupe, with some
friends was in front of the Y. Nj
{. A. building at the time of the
accident, and the driving wind
tore the whole eastern cornice
from the building and precipitat-
ed it to the street. A heavy tim
Der struck the boy on the very
top of his head, inflicting an in
jury, which, it is feared, ne can
not survive.
Two distinct fractures were
made in his head and trepanning
will be necessary. When picked
up and taken into the association
building the brain matter was ex-
posed, and fears for his immcdi-
ate life were held by the physi-
clans when they made cursory
examination of his injuries. He
was taken to St. Mary's hospital
and is resting fairly well. At
tending surgeons refuse to say
whether he has a chance for re-
covery or not.
The storm was easily the
worst that ever visited this sec
ton.
The Holman & Davies ma
chine shop at Fifth and Ute was
badly wrecked by falling trees,
which crushed the building. Here
the wind tore five trees all to
pieces, leveling them.
The Fred Zoller residence at
327 Belford avenue was un-
rooted, causing damage to the
amount of 500.
The cooling towers of the
electric light plant were rocked
out of plumb, breaking SO many
pipes that the plant was demor-
allied. The wind had a full
sweep at the plant ana tore things
up badly.
The Redlands power plant
was unroofed and put complete
ly out of commission. The tur-
bine room was filled with debris
and the employees barely escaped
with their lives.
The cornice was blown off the
c. c. Lamb and NJ. Strouse
buildings and SIGNS all along
Main street were blown down.
The railway eating house lost
portions of the roofing, and Ed
Haskell's billboards were laid
flat all over the city.
Tom Fields shoe shining
stand was picked up and dashed
to the sidewalk a wreck. A hole
