SUNDAY NIGHT'S WIND STORM. It Gambled with Everything
Movable.
The Windstorm that passed over this place Sunday night between
ten and eleven o'clock was the hardest that has been experienced
in this vicinity for some time. All during the evening a storm
was brewing, and later on there was quite a change in the
atmosphere, becoming considerable cooler, and the wind changed
into the northwest and came down upon us in a strong gale,
filling the air with dust, boards, barrels, boxes, and anything
else movable. A driving rain soon set in, the water being driven
in perfect sheets. The wind increased until it attained a
terrific velocity, causing many to get up and dress, and be ready
for a retreat to the cellar, while many did avail themselves of
the opportunity. In the morning the damage was done to shade
trees, and a number of out buildings overturned. A barn and
chicken house belonging to Mr. HARBACH was completely demolished.
