Keady broke away from Osburn

A little cyclone dipped down on
Polk county last Friday touching
most forcibly two and a half milea
southwest of Monmouth. It was
not such a cyclone as sweep the
plains of the middle west but a
diminutive sample of the Kansas
variety, arousing the fears of those
who witnessed it to a realization of
what the uncurbed winds may do.
