NORTH WEST
Shortly after three o'clock peculiar
looking clouds began to float lazily
across the sky. The wind was from
the south-west, but it did not seem to
govern the dense precursors of the
storm. They flitted in different di-
rections and as they travelled on their
courses they foretold destruction. All
was confusion in the skies. Eventual-
ly the great army of the element
reached ns attended with all the fern -
cities of a cyclone. The clouds emptied
their contents in masses and sheets
that seemed to penetrate everything.
The wind cute down with a velocity
that made everything shudder in its
wake and many of the weaker strew -
tut es fell a prey to its destructive pow-
ers. Buildings swayed and creaked in
the powerful blast, while others were
piled in mass and ruins. Barn roofs
were lifted from their moorings and
carried rods away; trees upturned in
all directions, fences leveled, in feet
everything in the storm path stifiered
more or less and life as well as proper-
ty was both threatened and lost, the
whole snaking a panoramic display of
devastation and destruction.
The wind seems to have been travel-
ling in almost every conceivable direc-
tion in certain places, but the general
direction was almost due east. it
swooped to the earth about two ani a
half tulles west of town and there began
to play havoc with everything in its
path toward Exeter.
The greatest destruction took place
on the farms of Frank Triebner and
James Shapton, while that fine new
barn of Win. Penhale's was shifted
several inches. These three barns are
directly east and west of one another
and it would appear as though they
were in the very centre of the storni
area, whilst all the lesser damages
wrought north, south and east were
the results of the still furious but berme.
what weaker winds along the outskirts
of the storm path.
On the approach of the slot In ten or
twelve men were engageel at the grav-
el pit tin the Triebner fatal, and im-
mediately sought shelter fur them-
selves and teams in the bank barn.
They had nm seooer done so than the
full force of the storm buret upon
them. The barn rocked and swayed
and then was lifted from the original
position and almost off the foundation.
The timbers were twisted and turned
in all sorts of shapes. many of there
falling upon and through the floor and
into the stable beneath. The barn
floor gave way and several horses fell
into the root house beneath, but re-
ceived only slight injuries. When it
became apparent that the barn 'Hist
go most of the men attempted to rush 1
outside. but were ton late. the crash
cumin at once. The walls and tim-
ber fell all about then). Men and
animals found themselyes in the most
peculiar positione,sonie having escaped
by less than inches- Not so foroneman.
Abram J. Walker, a young roan of
pout 30 years of age, and son of Mr.
as. Walker, a neighbor, had remained
brother were in the barn at the time
and knowing that at heavy wind storm
was approaching attempted to hold
the dmurs fast, never dreaming that
the wind had sufficient force and veloc-
ity to not only clow open d s but to
destroy the barn, Such was the case,
however. The building was levelled
to the grimed even the stone Grande -
tion being partially overturned. Tim-
bers were hurled many feet through
the air, one of them striking the roof
of the brick kitchen, penetrating it
and demolished the roof, walls. and
interior of the room. Mr's. Shapton
was home at the time but happened
to be in the front part of the house.
Her presence in the front room was
dee to the fact that her sister-in-law
was visiting her end she was detained
there in conversation a few moments,
after signifying her intention of going
to the kitchen. The detention was
lucky as the consequence might have
been very serious had she been in the
western room. The men in the barn
escaped without serious injer•y, but
how it happened thus is beyond expla-
nation. Mr. Thomas Shapton was
caught in some debris but was assisted
out by his sons and was hut slight'y
injured. The scene now presents al-
most a complete ruin. Everything is
jammed, turned and twisted out of all
shape and form.
The next serioas obstruction in the
path of the storm was the tine new
barn of Mr. Wm. Penhale. The wind
struck it with such velocity that the
whole structure was shifted some four
or five inches on the foundation. The
foundation itself was badly cracked
and will need rebuilding in places.
Passing on the wind and rain struck
town, Wieling over many trees. knock -
.ng chita.u'ys off the houses, unroofing
the Carling barn on the recreation
grounds and doing other damage of
slight nature. It had not yet spent its
force and skipped on into the township
of t'sttorne, where one of the barns of
Mr. Thornes Bissett was unroofed and
another considerably damaged. Sev-
eral of the lalftet•s of Mr. Hrssett's nn-
rooferl barn were driven with such
force against another roof that they
made holes right through it, making
the second roof look like the top of a
pepper box.
On the outskirts of the storm area
to the north and south buildings and
fences suffered. One half the roof of
the barn on the farm of the late James
Sanders was carried away, torn off
clean and straight as it done with a
knife, The dome of Thomas Shapton's
barn was blown off. About eight or
ten feet were taken off one corner of
the roof of Wm. Dearing's barn. The
silo on the farm of Geo. Penhale is a
complete wreck, having been blown
over and scattered to the four winds.
A barn belonging to W. D. Sanders
on the 4th concession of Stephen as
far as report goes seems to have been
one of the fleet places struck in the
immediate area. The roof was taken
off het the barn wits sated no doubt
owing to its being filled with hay. Sev-
eral large tree's were blown over near
Thos. Herman's home on Loudon road
South. one of them falling on the
house and doing considerable (tannage.
