NO. 12 RAIN AND HAIL STORM DAMAGES HAYAjfDWHEAT Lou Largo ia Certain Sections, While Other Localities Are Benefited Ly Muiiture The rain and hail storm I.mhI Saturday afternoon did much dumago to the crop in ct-rtuin sections of the county, lit th' immediate victiiit.v of Condon no particular hurm was done but few miles soutl vent of town and at almoHt exactly the sarr. point where the hail struck last year wait the storm center" and the damage was hertvy. The storm panned enRt and northeast and where it struck Kock Creek amounted to a cloud burst. The new grade at the Burton-Wilson ranch was washed out, the steel 'bridge at the mouth of Wolf Hollow was torn from its foundations, the bridge below the Parr ranch and the one below Olex were both car ried away, W. G. Flett's house was washed away as well as all of his hav, Clyde Cripe's house was carried from the foundation, Farr Bros, lost their hav, eight een hoes, their machine shed and considerable other damage was done. Among the wheat raisers whoo crops were dam aged are Myers, Edwards Broom, Echols, Ooonev, famine, Port wood. Cripe, Orwick and others. On the other side of Rock Creek in the Gooseberry country the storm seemed as bad or worse than on this side, C. A. Lovegren lost all of his grain, his pumping plant, part of his threshing machine and a large number of chickens. Jackson Bros., Wm. McClintock and Ed Dalzell each lost his grain. and other minor Iofsps are reported. Latest reports from Olex place the amount of damage at $25000. The water was in every hous on the creek except Wade's Ran dall's and Weatherford's. Although much sympathy is expressed for those whose loss was so great, there seems to be a general feeling that the storm did a great deal more good than harm, speaking of the county as a whole. Much wheat that was suffering for moisture will now make a fcood crop. CHILDREN'S DAY AT CONGREGATIONAL - Sunday School 10 a. m. Child ren's exercises 11 a. m. Preach ing by the pastor 8 p. m.
