WEEK END GALE
DAMAGE HEAVY
Fifty-miIe Wind Rips Down
Wires, Up-roots Trees,
Blocks Highways.
CROP LOSS IS HEAVY

Workmen today began repairing the
damage done in Kenosha county by
the windstorm early Sunday morning,
when it is estimated the gale at one
time reached a velocity of more than
30 miles an hour.
Several persons narrowly escaped
serious injury when an automobile
going south on Sheridan road, near
the state line, was stopped just in
time to prevent crashing into tree
which was uprooted and hurled into
the path of the machine A car travel
ing rapidly south from Racine in an
attempt to beat the strom was blown
from the road near the northern coun-
ty line, when the force of the storm
suddenly burst. 1t was gotten under
control, however, before any damage
was done.
Heavy Damage To Crops.
Damage which it is estimated will
reach many thousands of dollars was
done to crops in the county. Fields
of corn were flattened, and in several
places fields of grain in the shock
were hurled about and soaked by the
rain which rode in on the tail of the
wind.
n In the city, branches were broken
on hundreds of trees, and while the
storm was at it's height fire and
police departments were kept busy
guarding high voltage wires which
were torn down. Records at police
headquarters show that twenty one
brakes in lines we're reported within
twelve minutes by people in various
parts of. the city.
Sign Boards Flattened.
More than hundred highway sign
boards were ripped down by the wind,
pand carried in many instances for a
distance Of half block. Boards from
one of these signs, landed on the road,
nails up, just in time to be run over
by a passing machine, two tires of
which were punctured.
Frazier's Farm Hit.
w. J. ''Bill" Frazier, formerly of
Kenosha but now owner Of a model
chicken farm near Wilmot, was prob
ably the hardest hit of any farmers
in the county. The storm drowned
500 Of Frazier's small chickens, lev
elled large field Of corn and blew
down an oak tree in the back yard of
the home. The branches Of the tree
fell on corner of the house, doing
considerable damage.
There were three barns in the coun-
ty struck by lightning. Two of these
were near Twin Lakes and the third
was near Salem. The loss was not
great in any instance.

MILWAUKEE JOINS
In GAS CRUSADE

(By Associated Press Leased Wire.)
Milwaukee, Wis. Plans to sell
gasoline purchased by the city at cost
prices were begun today by Thomas
n. Duncan, secretary to Mayor Hoan
and Alderman Arthur w. Shutkin.
A request was made to City Pur-
chaser J. W. Nicholson for $4,000

city filling station where it is pro-
posed to dispense the gasoline for
which the city pays 1876 cents a gal
Inc for low test and 14.8 for high test
at exact cost This is about 10 cents
gallon under the service station
prices.
If the city has sufficient gasoline
to continue the service, then the or

Mrs. Joe Savaglio told the officers
that when her husband saw his brother
approach the house last night he
slipped quietly out of a rear door and
went to the home of one of the neigh
bors in the hope of avoiding the en-
counter which had been imminent since
the brothers had been in court for
