Show FIERCE WINDSTORM IN THE WINDY CITY CHICAGO. Nov. JS. Blowing at the rate of forty-five miles an hour, a gale swept over Chicago and the surrounding territory last night. It was accompanied by a downpour of rain. Signs were blown down, street car traffic delayed and boats were unable to leave the harbor. Jules Cheneu was struck by a falling sign and suffered severe injuries. A police patrol box was torn from its fastenings and carried by the wind across the sidewalk, crashing into a piate-glass window. Telephone communication with poll stations on the South Side was interrupted in-terrupted and the lines of the Chicago Telephone company were disturbed. |
