A Leipsic youth in the rear seat
of an automobile parked on East
Elm street had a narrow escape
when the heavy manhole cover
blown from the roof of the town
hall crashed thru the rear of the

by inches.
Albert Vermillion's hay loader was
going places on his Orange township
farm when the wind got behind it
and trundled it, unframed, about a
quarter mile to the other end of a
field.
At the William Burkholder fox
farm north of town on the Dixie
several of his fox pens were over
turned letting the foxes out into the
high wire inclosure. The minute
they were released they pounced up
on some of Burkholder's rabbits
which were being housed in the
outer enclosure.
Barns, machine sheds and brooder
houses were damaged on the farms
of Sol Steiner, Amos Gerber, r. E.
Griffith and F. E. Wenger, south of
Bluffton as the storm apparently
gathered momentum for the major
assault on the Santschi farm next in
line, where the greatest damage was
done,
Damage in Union township was
comparatively small and was con-
fined principally to that done by
hail. A field of corn on the Harry
Thompson farm was reported dam

fenced a storm Saturday morning,
somewhat similar but much milder.
Spencerville had a similar exper-
fence.
In Orange township the barn of
Will Beagle was twisted on its
foundations and will require some
repairs; also machine shed was
blown over on the Arthur Swank
farm where a threshing machine
was moved several feet by the force
of the wind.
Did the hybrid corn withstand the
force of the wind better than other
varieties? There's question that
has started more than one long dis
cussion and not a few arguments
on street corners this week. There
appears to be evidence on both sides.
Also some farmers say that the corn
whose stalks were broken by the
storm were previously weakened by
corn borers. Others point to fields
planted early which should have
been more susceptible to borers, as
having stood the storm better than
late planted fields. However, it
would appear that the vagaries of
the storm probably had more to do
with the condition of the corn than
any other single factor.
