HORSE UNHARNESSED
On Grand avenue, not far from Shenandoah, a horse was torn from its harness and thrown, upside down, in an excavation that is being made for a sewer.. The other horse in the team was tossed across the street. A bed with its mattress in place was thrown from a house on Missouri avenue to the center of Lafayette Park. The pillows fell not far from it, but they were not the pillows belonging to this particular bed. A child's chair was taken from one of the lamps at the gate leading into Lafayette Park on the south side. Part of an are lamp was fastened to it. A middle-aged German was walking along the railroad tracks east of Twelfth street just after the storm, bemoaning the loss of his little daughter. Another child, who was with him, found a bonnet that was recognized as belonging to the missing girl. The father thought that it was conclusive evidence that his other youngster was lost when the little one ran up and shouted that she wanted to get in the house, because it was getting too wet for her. Bales of hay ought to be good for defense in a cyclone. In many livery stables on the South Side everything but the great stacks of hay in the lofts was blown away. In one case carriages were taken half a dozen blocks and set down with little injury. The hay was not disturbed.
