HANOVER BUSY RIGHTING
ITSELF AFTER BIG STORM

| HANOVER, Pa, $14S Sar-lanover is
bending to the task today of removing
the debris left in the wake of the cyclonic
| storm which swept across the town late
Saturday night The damage is esti-
mated at more than 100000.
Linemen we're rushed here yesterday
to straighten telephone poles and tie the
wires so as to put the town in commune
cation with the outside world. st g..
The windstorm Saturday night was
preceded by a downpour of rain. This
drove many of the shoppers to shelter
and proved to be providential, for the
bricks and timbers were hurled in every
direction.
The storm ragged for only a brief period
and covered an area of about 400 square
yards. f.~ $3.50 ~
Private residences were unroofed and
churches, public buildings, stores and
manufacturing plants were wrecked.
Telephone. lines and trolley wires were
torn down Telephone poles were snappd
and many bautiful ornamental shade
trees, the pride OF the town, were up
rooted. The borough, which was being
primed for a centennial celebration in
the early part of September, was made
to look like a Western prairie after
storm.
The worst damage probably was done
to the Hanover Glove Factory, owned
and operated by George d. Gilt. The
large three-story brick building is a
complete wreck. The second story was
entirely blown off and the structure
wrecked so that it will have to be re-
built, Many of the bricks and timbers
were carried for squares. The loss may
