Four adjoining farms just east of this city and owned by Mrs. Henry Kennebeck, John S. Freund, Hubert Freund and John Claxton felt the fury of the storm very severely. On the Kennebeck farm occupied by Mr. and Mrs. P. A. Freund, one barn was wrecked and the other barn was moved from its foundation and badly warped. The roof of the tool shed was blown off, and the windmill destroyed, and a large pine tree was blown down. On the John S. Freund farm, just across the road, roof and one side of the barn was blown away, a large pine tree was uprooted and windows in the house were blown in, causing much damage from the rain. On the John Claxton farm a scene of chaos prevailed with the yard strewn with debris. The windmill was blown down, doors of the barn and parage were blown off and cupolas from the barn and milk house were laying about the yard. A seventyfoot hen house was a total wreck and about twenty-five setting hens, many of them with eggs ready to hatch, were broken up or killed. Mrs. Claxton who takes a great deal of pride in her fine chickens, felt this loss very deeply. A tool shed was moved two feet from its foundation and part of the roof was gone while the roof from another shed was missing. Some shade trees were uprooted and many fruit trees were snapped off. The only building that escaped injury was the house. On the Hubert Freund farm the parage was wrecked, cupolas and windmill and chimney were blown down and a small chicken house gone. More than half of the orchard was also destroyed. At the road house occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Henry Nell serious damage was done when the windows blew in, damaging the new furniture and flooding the interior so that the family was forced to leave the place for a few days. The large electric sign was blown down also. At the Peter Schaefer farm the chimney and roof was blown frorhthe house and the garage was picked up and carried by the wind. The silo at the B. J. Wagner farm at Volo was down and some damage was done at the John Regner farm. The windows in the Nick W^ingart home were broken, causing loss by the rain. Farms on the river road also felt the effects of the storm. On the Will Freund farm the barn was totally destroyed and all the ubildings are dowrt but the house. Luckily the cows and horses were outside and hence escaped injury. The neighbors have been helping Mr. Freund to get things somewhat straightened out. Many summer cottages at Emerald Park received damages and dozens of large oak trees were blown down. At the Albert Vales home the windows were blown in, causing damage by rain and this also happened at the Dillon farm. On the Robt. Vasey farm a tool shed was wrecked and at Flemeten's a chicken house was moved by the wind and chickens lost. F. J. Sheehan of Chicago, who owns a cottage at Mineral Springs, reports that a tree fell on the building and demolished it. It is almost a total loss. At Justen's hotel the large chimney from the furnace which heats the entire building was blown onto the roof by the strength of the tornado. The bricks crashed through the roof and heavy timbers fell into the rooms below, smashing dressers and furni ture and covering everything with plaster. The rain and water poured in through this opening, flooding the floors and causing much damage to furnishings and trickled down onto the ceiling of the dining room. Here the tables were set and everything was in readiness for the banquet which was served to the Daughters of America that evening, and it required some q&ick work on the part of the proprietor to prevent greater damage being done. Most of the immense loss caused by the miniature tornado was partially covered by insurance but the destruction of the buildings will cause a hardship for some time to come. In almost every direction one finds some damage done by the storm and it will be some time before the rebuilding will be completed. Jolly Sixteen CIA Mrs. Will Bishop was hostess to the Jolly Sixteen card club at her home on Riverside Drive on Wednesday afternoon of last week. The ladies spent a pleasant afternoon at five hundred with first prize being won by M5ss Gertie Weber, the second prize by Mrs. Joe WV Rothermel and the third prize by MVs. J. Schuenamann.

Fellingham farm part of the roof was blown from the horse barn. Ridgefield is reported to have suffered a heavy loss and the large sheep sheds there Were nearly all blown to the ground. The force of the storm did--not strike west of town* and here practically no damage was done. Johnsburg and Ringwood also, seemed to be out of the direct path of the Btorm arid while the wind was severe it did not do much damage to these places. The territory to the east of McHenry came in for its share of trouble however, and much damage was ac-l complished as far east as Antioch where windows were blown in and other damages felt. At Loon Lake near Antioch fifty summer cottages were demolished by the gale.. It was In this direction that the telephone and electric lines seemed to suffer the most damage. Many of the poles were down while others were leaning and the cable was blown to the ground.
