ED BY SliMI
lone and vicinity was visited
by an unprecedented wind, hail
and rain storm last Monday af
ternoon. Following an oppres
sively warm dsy threatening
clouds appeared in the southeast
about 5 o'clock A fierce dust
storm blew up shortly nfter,
which was soon followed by a
wind of tornado proportions ac
companied by heavy hail and rain
in torrents, in sheets, oceans of
it and for the duration of hall
an hour the storm raged in all
its fury.
Soon water in the streets was
from two to three feet in depth
and running like a mil! race, car
rying everything with it which
was not secure, y fastened; in
fact it reminded the writer of a
minalure Mississippi river flood.
All cellars and almost every
building in town was more or
less flooded and some of them,
especially those on Main street, to
a depth of a foot or more, and
the rcceedi.ig wafers left a de
posit oi several inches of mud
and slime.
The railroad track, for a dis
tance of several miles, was im
bedded in mud which had to be
removed before trains could run.
Lexington was treated to only
a refreshing shower, but a short
distance this side of that town
the heavens apparently opened
and the deluge came and extend
ed about two miles below lone,
the area covered being about ten
miles long and Fix mik'S wido,
centered in the neijjiborhood of
Lme.
Aside from the inconvenience
suffered fiom the flooding of cel
lars little damage was done in
town, the Rivers "-Auto Co. and
Bert Maaon betr.ff the piincipal
sufi'erirs. The Auto Co.'s lews
will amount to between 101X1
and $1501), in oil t, etc. Su.nr
and other stock in Mr. Ma.son's
warehouse wa3 damaged to a
considerable extent.
But the ranchers in the track
of the storm were the grer.ttr
sufferers by far. Many fields of
grain were entirely destroyed by
the hail and rain aad others bad
ly injured, Fruit trtts also suf
fered Severely, the (.rowing fruit
being stripped frcm the treed.
Gardens ntid b.rry ju'cIkb were
also badly cut to piects bv !?
hail.
