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.
