Many persons were obliged to hold on to
tree or other object when current OF
swift moving air overlook them.
About town number of windows were
smashed. The doors on the H. & F. car
shed were torn from their fastenings and
the large doors on Mr.. l.. r. Waesche' 8
barn were demolished. A large locust
tree standing near the United Brethren
church was blown over and by a very
narrow margin one Of the memorial win
dows in the church was saved from being
destroyed. A large locust tree on the
lot where Mr.. John P. T. Matthias resides
was uprooted, and walnut tree stand
ing at the rear of Mrs. G.. A. Wissler's
residence was blown against the house,
damaging the chimney considerably. Trees
at various other places were uprooted.
A portion of the roof on the house on
Mrs. Jos. Martins farm near Graceham,
was torn away. Many ricks of fodder
were blown over, fences demolished and
articles moved here and there from their
usual places of abode.
At the home of Mr.. G. E. Rogers,
north of town, new henhouse was
blown over and completely demoli shed.
Mr.. w. C. Brenaman returning from
Baltimore in his auto got full benefit of
the storm. Many times he was going
sideways in the road.
Hats were tossed about like toy balloons
and some have not been seen since leav-
ing the owners head.
The sun shone brightly all the day and
the temperature was considerably above
the freezing point.
