BUILDING IS UNSAFE
RAIN UNDERMINE FOUNDATION
WHILE BEING REPAIRED.

%
Concern is felt for the safety OF
the old Swearingen building No. 32l
High avenue West where reconstruc.
ticn has been in progress.
The west wall has settled and is
cracking Badly, possibly to the extent
that it is unsafe and dangerous. The
street about the building has been en-
closed and traffic is not permitted to
pass the & street side OF the building
and no pedestrians allowed along eth
or the west or south sides.
In, placing a basement beneath the
building underpinning of walls became
necessary. The wet weather of the last
two weeks caused the underpinning to
settle and the wall gave way yestcr-
day
Workmen are, taking every means
possible to hold the wall and at con-
siderable personal risk. 1t is believed
that the slip has been stayed and
that means employed will hold the
wall from further settling. YE!~i

LITTLE BUT STRONG
EMBRYO TORNADO NORTH OF
TOWN TUESDAY AFTERNOON.

An incipient tornado started bust
ness about five miles north of town
Tuesday afternoon and section OF
the telephone lines, three poles in
length, was blown down. The twist
er travelled in an easterly to south
east direction. The cloud raised az
ter it's first stop and is said to have
made itself felt in the Rose Hill
neighborhood where a stiff blow was
experienced as it again touched the
earth for a short distance.
The whirlwind or twister that
touched the earth was only a small
cloud with a bit of a tail and did not
amount TO much. 1t appeared to
start operations along the west side
OF the New Sharon road at a point
north of the Dye property and south
Of the old Winkleman place about one
mile north of the water works pump
ing station. ..--a
Soon after passing TO the east of
the highway the cloud lifted and no
trace OF having touched the Garth can
be found until in the locality of Rose
Hill where it came down for a few
moments.
No damage to property occurred
so far as can be learned. No other
reports Of the progress Of the storm
have been heard. A little sprinkle
accompanied the clouds but not
enough precipitation to be called a
shower.
