followed by torrcntal rain swept
down upon Macon and vicinity late to-
day, killing one man, injurng several
others and seriously damaging prop
crty in the city and at Camp Wheeler,
near here.
All communication with the camp
was cut off shortly after the storm
broke, but telephone communication re-
established tonight revealed that the
greatest damage done there was from
the rain, which had flooded many Of
the hospital tents, sixteen Of which
were blown down. 1t was estimated
that $50 patients were in the tents, but
early reports from the camp said none
of the patients was injured.
The collapse of the corral Of the
122d Infantry caused the only death
