trees. although several houses were
caught by some Of the trees when
they fell. A large oak tree fell on
the home Of Mrs. A. &. Hesen on
Liberty street, knocking a hole in
the roof and smashing a chimney.
A falling tree damaged the Ma
roney home, corner of Sixth and
High streets. Wind whipped around
the second floor porch on the Half
Price Store, causing a part of it
to crumble.
Several large trees were broken
in the Bowser woods area, south
of Oakland, and along the road
leading to Monte Vista.
Two trailers at McHenly were
upset by the gale and one woman
was taken to the Garrett County
Memorial hospital suffering from
cuts and bruises. She was identified
