The wind began blowing Wednesday morning and continued con-tinued to get worse until after midnight mid-night and did not cease until Thursday morning. The apple trees were almost al-most stripped of their fruit, stacks of hay and straw were scattered about town, many chimneys and gable-ends of houses were blown down, and window win-dow lights broken In nearly every house In town. Living trees were up- I rooted and dead ones were blown down, i Carl Albertson sustained the greatest great-est loss, he, with his faimly, barely ear caping with their lives. While they were In bed the roof of their house was I blown off, and the gable end of an adobe house came In upon them. They crawled out without any injuries injur-ies and visited with neighbors until morning. The roof was blown from the store of the E. H. Duzett store, the front doors of the B. J. Peacock & Sons store were blown down, large windows win-dows broken at the Co-op and A. P. Anderson store, and garages, granaries, gran-aries, and out-buildings, etc., were scattered about the town. The district school had prepared an excellent parade for Liberty Day, and I expected to tour the town, but on ac-i ac-i count of the wind, they limited their march to only a few streets.
