Rain Was Welcome. =.

At 1870 o'clock Sunday morning this
section of the state was visited by
heavy windstorm, accompanied by rain
to the extent Of three-quarters OF an
inch The wind was the most severe
that has visited this section for some
time, and considerable injury was done
to buildings in various parts Of the
city.
The most serious damage was done
to the old Robson opera house when
the rear wall of the upper story back
of the stage was blown in, and the
walls were left in precariOus condition.
The lower floOr of the building is oc-
cupied by Brown & Bridgman under
takers, and Theo Torgerson, paint and
wall paper establishment Neither of
' the stocks was damaged to any great
extent The Harvey brothers, who are
connected with the Brown & Bridg-
man company, who were sleeping in
the building when the collapse came,
made hurried exit, scantily clad, and
got q drenChing in the rain.
Charles Won Weise stated this morn
ing that until the building inspector
could pass on the opera house build
ing, he is undecided what to do with
it.
The large barn recently erected by
Mort Woods on the Perry Maxwell
farm near the Country Club was dam
aged to some extent, due partly to the
fact that it was not entirely completed
some braces not being placed.
The tin roof on the Jones building
occupied by Crocketts grocery ana
the Phoenix Rooming House, was bad
ly torn and stripped. The brick cor
nices were also damaged.
A large plate glass window in the
Asa Holman shop next to the Luke
building was driven IN and glass scat
tered over the street The clothing
establishment of the Budd Hoard Com
pany suffered similar injury
The storm was of a freakish nature
jumping from place to place, taking
shingles from the roofs Of buildings
in one position, and leaving the ada
cent buildings intact, then perhaps
crossing half the town before othe
