JET VISITED BY TORNADO
MONDAY NIQHT
Barns Granaries and Other
Outbuildings Demolished
and Houses Severly
Damaged
Shortly after midnight Monday
a heavy wind began blowing from
the west increasing in velocity un-
til about an hour later it reached
the cyclonic stage and started on
its damaging career -The
first place hit was the farm
of Clyde Park where it did consid-
erable damage to his house Pass-
ing in a northeasterly direction
it next encountered the farm of
Marshall Humphrey taking as toll
his granary and wlndmilL Passing
on to the Russell Arganbright farm
it blew over a garage and over-
turned Reuben Bullard’s car From
there it seemed to have raised a
little and then dipped again when
it struck the townsite striking the
Alf Miller place taking off a brood-
er house and over a hundred chick-
ens Jumping from bsre to the Jess
Nall place it tore up a garage coal
house and stripped a largo patch of
shingles from the house Several
other places in the north end of
town were slightly damaged The
storm appeared to raise again and
passed on efist where it again
desoanded at the Frank Nall home
a mile east pf town and did the
worst damage in its path complete-
ly demolishing his big bam granary
in fact every outbuilding on the
place and doing considerable damage
to his house From there it swept
its way on eastward toward Nash
where we understand considerable
damage was- done
Fortunately no one in the path
of the storm was injured -Very
few of those damaged car-
ried cyclone insurance and the loss
will fall heavy upon them
A heavy rain accompanied the
storm
