Henry Harmon, owner of the flour
mill and elevator at Lynn, also owns
farm four miles north of Winches-
ter. In our attempts on Monday even
ing to trace the extent of the hail
storm that forenoon, We learned from
Mr.. Harmon that the man running his
farm had told him that the hail storm
had ruined his corn and that it was
simply cut to pieces. He also stated
that hail was reported falling still
farther north.
AS to Lynn there was no storm tight
in town but out northeast the fall OF
hail was heavy. The hail stones were
large enough to kill chickens, one man
stating that he had lost quite mum
Der of chickens of various ages from
hail. A lot of hail was brought into
town and are said to have been quite
size" even after the journey from
the country AS a matter of fact some
folks even reported hail stones as big
as eggs, which cut off foliage ano
ruined gardens, as well as doing a
lot of damage to windows.
Hail stones as large as hen eggs
are very rare birds, but it is a matter
of record that such falls do sometime;
occur. Topeka, Kansas, once hat
such a visitation. The hail not only
smashed heavy plate windows bu
damaged any number of roofs.
AS stated in the Monday evening
Palladium there was heavy rain anC
considerable tightening observed il
spots, notably northeast of New Paris
around Braffettsville, West Manches
! ter, and about five miles southeast o

penings from tightening was the dealt

was about mile south of West Man
chester. William Trone was the IN
fortunate man, and, as stated yesteI
