STORM SWEEPS LOCALITY

A destructive wind storm passed
over this locality Tuesday morning,
blowing down out buildings, fruit
trees uprooted and windows of homes
blown in. The storm was most severe
west and north of the village. On the
Ole Peterson farm, west of Clio, the
tool shed and COW barn were blown
down and the windows on the south
side of the house were blown in. on
the farm of Elmer Moore (the Ami
don FARM the tool shed was de-
stroyed and also several windows in
the house were blown in large flat
rack was blown from a wagon and
landed on top of the granary. Elmer
Powers sustained perhaps the great
est losses by the storm. Two tool
sheds were destroyed, one new one
completed the past summer, which is
n complete wreck. The farm tools
in the sheds were badly damaged and
the windows of the south part of the
house were broken. Mr.. Powers, who
was sleeping in one of the second
story bed room was first apprised
of the storm when the broken glass
from the windows began falling up
on his face. 1t was indeed a rude
awakening and the impossibility of
lighting a lamp added to the difficult
les of the situation. On going out to
the tool shed to get a hammer to
use in boarding up the windows, Mr..
Powers discovered that the building
had been reduced to a mass of wreck
age. He estimates his loss at about
$4,000, partially covered by insur-
ance. 1t will be remembered that
last spring a tornado swept through
Mr.. Powers woods and destroyed
many fine trees. At the farm of
William Booth, near County Line, the
porch on the south side of the house
was completely ruined, one porch post
was blown through window into the
house and other windows were also
broken. Several apple trees were
blown down.
Robert Shaw of Birch Run town
ship sustained considerable loss
through the large barn doors on his
barn being blown off and fruit trees
uprooted.
The wind mill on the Melvin
Hutchinson farm was blown down,
also the chimney of the house des-
troyed.
The large barn on the Tom Ma
haney farm was unroofed.
The large doors on the barn at the
James Doyle farm were blown off and
ruined.
Alfred Peters sustained quite a
severe loss through the porch being
blown off his residence, the windows

HITTING KING OF MINORS
CANNED WITHOUT TRIAL

A surprising announcement is that
from Boston to the effect that the
Red Sox have sold Outf1elder Joe Will
holt to the Toledo club of the Ameri-
can Association. Joe is the same
fellow who played with Indifferent
success with the Giants few years
back.
McGraw sent Wilhoit to the Pa,
cifc coast. He did not do SO well
there, but early last season drifted
into the Western League and made
remarkable batting record.
He broke all marks for consecutive
game hitting. He wound up the sea-
son with an average Of better than
400.
Naturally Wilhoit was much sought
after by major league clubs at the
seasons close. Finally 1t was an.
nounced that the Boston Red Sox had
secured his services for 1920.
In view of the fact that Babe Rutn
was recently sold to the Yankees II
would seem that Wilhoit stood good
chance of making a regular bertn
in the Red Sox outf1eld the coming
summer. Now comes the news that
he has been turned back to the
minors without trial.

ROYALS TO bowl
AGAINST ROANOKE

The first five games of the ten-game
bowling match between the Royals
and Roanoke. Va, team is to take
place at Roanoke next Saturday. A
recent letter from w. K McLain of
the Roanoke team to Harry B. HALEY,
head of the Royals, states that I'VE
shall expect your team here on the
9Th of March for five games. which
will be for the usual consideration of
$780," which indicates that the Roa-
noke five is not discouraged because
it lost year ago.
Last night HALEY stated that his
team would be picked from ]. B. Car
roll Andy Goddard, Earl Lewis,
Harry Stanford, Harry krauss, Ray
Chaplin, Glen Wolstenholme and
Johnnie Baum. Practically this same
team went to Roanoke last year and
rolled against Roanoke here. and the
Washington men won by only twenty
three pins in a total of ten games.
HALEY Praises Roanoke.
"Pop" HALEY says that Roanoke is
about the best team that has ever
come here. The players are consist.
emily capable and put up a game ngnt
last year against odds. The Roanoke
players will be Stonebraker, Brown
Sink, Dyer and McLain: Visits OF the
Roanoke team here and OF the hoyals
to Roanoke have been occasions ioi
little social functions which nave pro
NOTED the good feeling between the
two quints. The same conditions
probably will exist this year.
