BRIEF WINDSTORM
CAUSES DAMAGE
TO PROPERTY HERE
Gale Hits City Yesterday
Afternoon, Uproots Trees,
Plays Havoc with Signs.

Pine Bluff was visited yesterday
afternoon by the hardest windstorm
that has been experienced here in
several months, and while there was
no actual heavy damage done, scores
Of window glasses, signs and trees
were destroyed, fences and small
cuthouses blown down and other
such minor losses suffered.
The storm occurred about 3:15
o'clock and lasted nearly Is min
utes, being followed by en- appreci-
able fall in temperature and slow
showers which continued only u little
while.
For half hour or more before the
sudden advent of the young gale, the
skies were overcast. Dsnse, lead
colored clouds were noted especially
north of the city, over the loWlancs
of the old river bed,
Suddenly, as with a swoop, the
clouds appeared to reach down, and
terrific swirl of dust was the i'm
mediate response. Doors and win
dows were hurriedly closed every
where, but not quickly enough to
keep the dust out nor to prevent the
scattering of papers and more
wlig!Aty objects and articles about
the interior Of offices and homes.
The offices on the north side of the
jefferson county courthouse felt the
full force of the winds. Several panes
of glass were blown out, damage Of
the same nature being suffered by
buildings on Barraque street oppo-
site West Court street these being
the buildings of the Chas. We'll Hup-
ply company and the building now
being remodelled for the Com
mercial.
Small signs were blown hither and
yon. Larger signs were dismantled
and in some. cases torn to pieces
One of these was the big cloth sign
in front of the, building of the
Anchor Furniture company, opposite
the Hotel Pines, in Main street.
Approximately twenty telephones
were put out of commission because
of the wires being torn down, but re-
pairs in every case were made before
night The call box system of the
Postal Telegraph company was
rendered hors du combat as were
two lines of telegraph wires.
A plate glass window in the show
case in front of the Moore jewelry
store in Main street wac broken, an(
the tall smoke stack of the Bluff Cit!
Oil company in East Fifth avenue
was blown down.
Many trees were blown down, al
were several small outhouses ant
much fencing. A large tree in tn
yard of the home of T. B. McEwer
Fifth and Chestnut streets. and a BIZ
gum tree back of E. D. Herring
residence at 1901 west Sixth, we-

what else have you? Surely nothing
comparable to the usefulness of that
wisdom which retains the Odor Of the

superlatives, is sparing in grandiose
