CYCLONE HITS DISTRICT
NORTH 0F_THE CITY
Barns   And  Silos   Destroyed
By the Visitor
Saturday evening last this city and
district was visited with a wind and
rain storm that left many evidences
of its severity behind "it. Commencing
about five o'clock the dowwpour increased in volume until it reached the
proportions of a regular cloud burst,
accompanied with hall as large as
hen's eggs, the wind steadily increasing in velocity. No particular damage was done in the city as the splendid drainage easily took care of the
water, but it was in the country north
that the velocity of the wind became
a regular old twister of a cyclone. No
knowing what the damage might have
been if the tail had given Clare a
switch to the many closely-built residences, and possibly loss of life. But
it is good to be missed, especially by
