MARTIN A. C0LAW DEAD

The death of Martin A. ColaW
which occurred at his home IL
Lower Crabbottom on Monday
evening, May %, came as sur
prise to his friends and acquaint-
ances in other parts of the county
than that of his immediate neigh
borhood. 1t is stated that he con-
tracted cold while fire fighting in
the mountains few weeks before
his death, pneumonia and an alb
cessed lung resulting and causing
death, as above stated.
Mr.. Colaw was a comparatively
vigorous man, little past middle
age, and one of the successful
farmers of that valley. He was a
son of Daniel Colaw, now one of
Highlands oldest citizens, and is
also survived by a wife and several
brothers and sisters.
Mr.. Colaw was an intelligent,
well-informed man, at all times
keeping abreast of current events,
and took great interest in the
political and governmental affairs
of the county and state. He had
succeeded we'll in life and had &C
cumulated a handsome estate.
Our Crabbottom correspondent
will probably furnish the Recorder
readers with fuller and more
accurate sketch of his life.

Hail Storm

Probably the worst hail storm
that Highlanders have ever seen
visited the southern section of the
county last Monday evening. The
cloud could be seen from Mon
terey and was black and angry.
The section traversed by the storm
was from Stony Run toward the
Monterey Stock Farm on Dry
Branch, and along its course resi-
dents, were terrified, the dam
age done being minimlzed
only by the backwardness of
all crops. AS it was, win
dows were broken out by the huge
blocks of ice, and shinyle roof on
one residence was literally pounded
to splinters while another building,
covered with rubber material, was
I left without roof. A gentlemen
in town the following day said that
one of the hailstones measured by
him was five inches in circum-
ference, while of them were large
as hen egg.
Following this storm, cool windy
weather condition prevailed, and
the belated crops got still further
backset. Here in the Monterey
valley heavy rain fell at the same
hour, and in other sections OF the
county electrical storms prevailed.
On Straight. Creek, c. W. Trimble
had a steer killed in his pasture,
and on the Hightown side j. F.
McNulty sustained similar loss,
while straw stack at Mrs. Frank
Gums was burned. A large oak
tree in ]. Wesley Hevener's yard
was struck by lightning Saturday
night.
LATER reports from hail-strick-
en- section of the county tend to
augment the severity Of the storm
and the damage done. Wheat
fields in the Big Valley were de-
stroyed, gardens looked as if pune
tured with cane, fences and
houses were SCARED. young turks
and chicks killed, while horses graz
ing in the fields, pelted and pound
ed by ice chunks, rushed madlY
through wire and plank fences.
After the cloud had passed the
hail stones were shoveled up in
places and used for making ice
cream and filling refrigerators. The
ground was literally covered with
leaves and twigs beaten from fruit
and forest trees.
