The storm almost ruined the orchards in the east part of the county, and In others much of the fruit was blown off. Burnett, Son of Robert Sunday for a couple of days vis '1 .1. BURNETT'S Red LeHtier storm of rain, wind and lightning Friday night or rather Saturday morning about 1:30.

No great amount of property loss was entailed but dozens of tine trees were ruined, outbuildings were demolished, chimneys blown down and the part of town where the worst of the storm passed given a desolate appearance. From Buffalo street north on Osage a couple of blocks and on Carbon for six or seven blocks the wind did practically all its damage. The district in some places looked Saturday morning very much like what is called in the timber a "deadening." D. Coming's bouse was partially unroofed and the rain damaged the inside considerably. Two small houses in the north part of town were moved from their foundations and one or two barns were considerably "racked." Outside of tne small territory mentioned the town suffered no though the noise from the "twister" made every one who heard it just a little bit nervous.

THROUGHOUT THE OOCNTr. From diligent inquiry the fact is re vealed that the storm center was east of Girard striking in about the Dornian farm, northeast of town. From there to the southeast the county is strewn with wreckage. Barns were blown down, roofs torn off and hundreds of tine shade trees ruined. At Dorman's both dwelling and barn were partly unroofed.

uenry noizer uig nne oarn was entirely destroyed, his orchard practlc ally ruined and the ornamental trees badly spoiled. John Neet's barn lost most of its shingles and it took him nearly three nours to get the falleu trees out of the way so he could drive out to the road. A. J. Shanholzer's barn was demoU isued.

R. D. Trask's barn containing 25 to 30 tons of hay was moved off the foun dation a bit Richardson's barn was bardly The Hibbard house north of the home place was unroofed. At S. B.

Norton's one bam was entirely destroyed. In it were 30 sheep but they came through without any loss. Another barn with hay in it was badly twisted. Over at the new coal camp south of Arma, the wind had a fair sweep and caused several hundred dollars worth of amage The two big hay barns belonging to the company, were totally destroyed and at the shaft only the tipple was left standing. 'In one of the barns were 15 or 18 men and 25 head of horses and mules, Two of the men who live in Girard, Boone Johnson and Dave Morris were quite badly hurt.

Over in the thickly settled mining districts the storm left a track of wreckage and desolation seldom seen. The cheap, flimsy "company houses" set out on the open prairie offered but little resistance to the wind's fury. They were smashed and torn up by the score and the families living iu them more or less injured. At least two are reported killed while many others were so seriously injured that they may die. The list as obtained so far is as folj lows.
