From all accounts around the town this morning the heavy wind of last did first supposed. more damage than was at At the railroad station night { one of the heavy bagsage trucks was blown onto the tracks just as the Owl train was due. About all that could e found this morning were the picces mile below the station and at last accounts the wheels were still going as nothing was found of them. A chicken coop roof was also raised and blown over into anothe* yard but only did minor damage. William Ritehic was called from his nice warm bed along in the middle of the night by the ringing of the bur- glar alarm at his grocery store. Put- ting on' his clothes he rushed forth into the darkness with the best of in- tentions of catching the prowlers of the nicht. Upon reaching the store he discovered the door wide open, but further investigation failed to show anyone about or anvthing out of the way. After looking around, Mr. Ritchie came to the conclusion that he had nrot locked the door, and the heavy wind had in some manner blown it open, thus releasing the burglar alarm. Berlin Briefs.
