DAMAGE IN AssARIA STORM
Thousands Of Dollars Lost By Hail
And Rain

The crop damage as a result OF
the storm at Assaria Wednesday, will
reach thousands Of dollars. That IL
apparent now, that people can get out
and view the country.
!. And there were peculiar incidents
In the storm. The most severe hail
occurred west Of Assaria, centering
at the c. A. Gillberg farm. There
the stones were as large as baseballs
and crashed completely through
house roofs. Mr.. Gillberg picked up
forty dead chickens that afternoon
Under one tree he found two dead
crows. Dead birds are everywhere.
Dead rabbits lay about the fields.
Sorghum fields are cut to pieces.
Corn Is leafless and many of the
ears are gone. The hedges stand up
as bare Of leaves as II 1t was mid
winter. Even the meadow grass
west Of the town has been riddled
until 1t is unfit to cut.
The fine stained glass windows OF
the Lutheran church are gone. The
windows are gone entirely from one
side Of the new high school building
So heavy was the hail that in the
afternoon, six hours after the storm,
It lay drifted two feet deep against
one eside Of the church building. J
The strength of the wind il shown
in one instance where 1t tore out
hedge fence by the roots. All about,
from a few miles west Of Assarla,
east toward Gypsum, crops In the
path Of the storm are ruined.

been no poison used on watermelon
vines In that district, Mr.. Clemence
stated, and hence the melons could
not poison the purchasers Of the
fruit.

test a failure" Mr.. Clemence said.
