Koon president of an automobile company of Lincoln Neb gave a graphic description ot the storm as he viewed it from the plat form of the' observation For car miles It seemed as If the train were being pursued by the storm "We were Ralston approaching when I first noticed a strange cloud mounting toward the sky” said Koon '"Before that It had been clear The cloud grew rapidly and was tremendous at traveling Ralston It assumed speed toward the form of a funnel and the air was filled with a curious noise something' between a hiss and a moan Dut very piercing ' Then the funnel seemed to grow black and the smaller end — that near the ground — was about a half a mile In diameter It swished across the railroad track and swept toward the little town “Then the storm struck the town Houses collapsed the roofs went sailing away and the sides fell in Tbt to sat as though passengers glued their seats when the cloud'' struck Then as they comprehended the desolation wrought a cry of horror went It was
