STRANGE FREAKS OF THE WIND
The wind played strange freaks. A horse was lying dead on the track beside the locomotive of the wrecked Chicago and Alton train. "It seems to me," said a railroad man, "as if he had killed himself trying to help the locomotive pull the train out." In the worst part of the wreck of the upper Louisville and Nashville offices a dog lived to bark his delight at being released from the chain which kept the wind from blowing him away. One of the dead horses on the Island roadway was apparently stabbed to death with splinters. A stable which stands in the roadway was pinned through the corners by wooden beams, which were forced into both sides by the wind. The ends of the beams, extending up and out from the stable, contained a pile of lumber carefully arranged, as if placed there by hand.
