heap Of shapeless material, in yester.
days wind. The house collapsed about
6 o'clock in the afternoon, partly with
its own weight, it is believed, and partly
because of the stiff breeze.
From appearances, the pine posts
which held the shell aloft some 20 feet
or more, were torn from the ground.
They went into the earth to depth OF
two feet.
Mr.. White, who is carpenter, and
was building home for himself on u
lot he recently purchased, places his loss
in labor at $3.50. He has spent great
deal of time on the undertaking nights
and mornings. He will Immediately
start again. The material was not dam
aged to any great extent.
The house to which an addition waJ
to have been made, contained three
rooms on both floors. 1t was merely
boarded or "roughed" in, and the roof
boarded. No shingling, clapboarding,
plastering or such work had been done.
The owner was to have later put in
cement walls, and in the meantime
meant to "brace" the sustaining posts
before the work proceeded much farther
This, he said last night, would have
been done Monday. The house was to
have been so constructed as to make the
spring floods harmless.
There were always a great many chill
dren playing in the building attracted
by the novelty of the domicile perched
aloft on poles, and ii is considered very
fortunate that there were none in 1t yes.
