In his seat and was watching Jim as
he went and tried the front door Of
the building. The door was locked and
Jim went around to the alley.
There was a small door there, which

the fair grounds and great damage in
general was done when the terrific
thunder shower, accompanied by so
or 70-mile wind, visited the fair
grounds Wednesday afternoon, just as
the racing program ended at o'clock.
Thursday the people opened for bust
ness again.
One man. B. F. Martin, who was en-
ployed at Hollis Life Saving Station,
where dinners are served, received a
rather serious cut over the right eye,
when a tent pol, which he was hold
ing, snapped off Mrs. Minnie Gore,
who was also employed in Hollis tent,
was somewhat injured. A tent pole
slid from its position, striking her,
ripping her dress off and taking her
shoes off her feet. The tent blew down
and exposed the set tables to the
storm. The food on the tables was
ruined and strewn all over the lot.
They estimate their damage at about
$3.50.
The tent where the mummified two
headed giant, who is said to have been
found in a cage in far away Egypt
more than 200 years ago, was lifted up
Dy the WlnQ ana turned COIIlpIetely
over.
The whole platform was removed from
the ground and thrown right into the
roadway. The relic was saved, however
and Mr.. Mccarthy, who brought the show
here, has had his tent put together again
and was doing business Thursday after
noon. The next tent above on the Mid
way was not torn away from its stays
for the owner had about 20 people get in
side his tent and hold it down. The ten,
was we'll put up and being built along dill
ferent lines than many of the others
there was not so much damage as in the
others.
When the big platform show tent BILE"
down and imprisoned some Of the fail
visitors there was a wild scramble to ge'
out into the rain, which was preferable &c
being buried In canvas. The pens In
which the attractions of this show are
kent prevented the canvas from going to
the ground. so those who were in the TEN
had an opportunity to get out uninJureo
although they were badly shaken up. the
tent poles dropping beside some of the
women caused many to get out into the
rain. The tent was replaced Wednesday
