Show Heavy Hailstones. Denver, Colo., June 27. The hailstorm hail-storm which accompanied the downpour down-pour of rain and electrical disturbance disturb-ance yesterday afternoon was one of the most severe this city lias ever experienced, ex-perienced, the stones being of unusually unusu-ally large size, some of them measuring measur-ing two and one-half inches in diameter diame-ter and weighing one-quarter of a pound. In the vicinity of Highlands, the hail was exceedingly heavy. Mr. S. L. Phillips, a resident of Highlands, picked up a number of hailstones during dur-ing the storm which were slightly larger than hen's eggs. They were almost al-most as hard as rocks, and ten of them weighed a pound. They did not, singularly sin-gularly enough, do any damage, although al-though one of them would be sufficient to knock a man down were he out in the storm. |
