August. 12 This section of the country was struck about 5 o'clock Thursday by a severe wind storm blowing from the northwest, that created havoc with crops, trees and small buildings. The storm struck the roof from the city school building and raised small barns and garages in its path. Telephone and telegraph wires suffered as a result of the high wind and last night the town was in darkness. In the country south and west of here there is scarcely a barn or gran-ery left standing, corn is flat on the ground and grain stacks are scattered over the fields.

Although the storm was the worst experienced here this year, as far as can be learned today no one hurt.
