the payment during the month of August, of
nearly one-haf of the entire Levy for 1918,

WIND STORM or CYcLoNlc FORCE
DEMoLIsHEs BUILDING ON
RADLOFF FARM.
SEVEN SHEEP KILLED
IN FREAklSH DISASTER
Trees About House on Timber Creek
Farm Uprooted But House Is Not
Damaaed-Damage to Buildings
Trees and Crops Widespread Thru
the County-Freaks Of the Wind.

Widespread and serious damage was
done to buildings, windmills, trees, and
newly planted crops in the country by
the wind storm of Wednesday night,
which attained high velocity and was
accompanied by downpore of rain
Only meager reports are obtainable to-
day because of the condition Of tele-
phone lines, many of which were torn
down or rendered useless.
Heaviest Of the damage wrought by
the storm was reported from the Il. f.
Radloff farm in Timber Creek town
ship, four miles southeast of the city,
tenanted by Charles Mead. There
large barn was demolished and seven
head of sheep were killed, besides much
other damage being done. The loss on
the building is estimated at $4,000, with
insurance of 81, 100, and on the sheep OF
SITS, which are also insured.
Barn Picked Up and Blown Away.
The wind storm which struck the
Radloff barn came shortly after :
o'clock from the northwest. The build
ing, which measured 56x64 feet, was
picked from it's foundation. torn to
pieces and scattered over the farm.
Some of the fragments were carried a
quarter of a mile. In the barn were
176 head of live stock, most Of which
were sheep Of the latter seven were
killed by falling fragments of the build
ing, but all the others, including hogs,
horses and cattle escaped, except for
few that were bruised. The I'VE
stock belong to the tenant.
A Ford car that was in the harm was
badly damaged. Two large trees, both
close to the house, were uprooted, but
the house was not damaged.
Freaks of the Storm.
Freakish details of the effects OF the
storm in this instance were abundant
The reason so few of the live stock
were killed was because the barn was
lifted off the foundation. The managers
and partitions between the stalls were
not damaged, and the horses were found
quietly eating their hay when the own
err reached the wreck. A mother cat
and a litter of kittens were untouched
in their nest in the basement. A grain
binder. which was standing out, was
picked up and moved eight or ten 1eet,
without being damaged A corn crib
