Show SUNDAYS BIG BLOW A Portion of the Roof of the Fisher Brewery Wrenched Off and Blown Away A Large Area of Tin Twisted Into a String and Dropped Over the Wall of the Building Rafters Palled Out of Their Brick AIoorlu sT1o Little Towers Go The Chimney Struck The wind which was blowing at such a ferocious rate in and about the city yesterday terday afternoon seems to have spent a good deal of its force along the banks of the Jordan and judging from the appearance ap-pearance of the Fisher Brewery building this morning it must have reached the dignity of a small cyclone in that vicinity At about 230 oclock yesterday afternoon after-noon when the wind was at its height Mr A Fisher who was in the building at the time heard A FEAKFUL TEAR Followed by a tremendous crash Rushing Rush-ing out in front of the house he saw sticks bricks dustand other portable material flying in every direction while a largo roll Qf Un moved to the edge of the building and dropped over the wall yhere it still hang From the appearance of things this naming the wind must have gotten its bold under the tin roof at the southwest corner of the building and kept up the push until the greater part of the roof was off The portion of the building struck is the large square fourstory part on the south side The portions of the building north of this are one story lower and a furnished with gravel roofing At the extreme southeast corner of the building there is a place about twelve feet tquaro where the board sheeting and HATTERS AND ALL L Were lifted from their mooring in the brick wall and let fall a few feet away The entire space cleared is about 20x30 feet and formed the covering for the grain rooms on the floor below Had the usual rain followed the heavy south wind there would have been a good chance for the entire ruin of the 12000 bushels of grain stored below Fortunately Fortu-nately however the wind was followed by a clear night and there is little doubt that the roof will be in good repair beforc tomorrow night It is rather difficult to relate just how the wind got under the tin because the south wall of the building rises about two feet above the roof and it was from wa that direction that the main force of the wind came The tin as seen this morn ing was in a huge roll about thirty feet long with one end still clinging to the roof while the other end hung over the wall onto a lower part of the building build-ing to the northeast TOWERS TOPPLED The ventilating tower over the drying room near the big chimney vas cut clear off and now lies on the roof below where it must have struck another small tower which now lays in ruins There is a big notch in the southeast corner of the chimney which shows that something some-thing big must have struck it with tremendous tre-mendous force Mr Fisher saw the i chimney just as it was struck and says that it shook fearfully and for a moment mo-ment he thought it was coming down Had the flat side of toe chimney been to the south instead of to the west it would surely have been knocked over and would have done untold damage A large force of men is at work this morning and everything possible is I being done to get the grain rooms undercover under-cover at an early hour Mr Fisher says he will not trust to tin again but will put on a gravel roof like that which covers the other portions of the building and he will then have little fear of Boreas Considering the looks of things Mr Fisher estimates the damage very low He says he thinks he can repair it with 500 The building stood the shock remarkably re-markably well and it is indeed strange that the loss was not much greater than it is |
