A large poplar tree in front of the stock farm house was blown over and pulled down and broke eighteen telephone wires and several crossarms on the poles, as well as bending several poles over. The damage was prdmptly repaired. The company was hit hard with the storm of a week ago Sunday night, when about a mile of their poles went down. The Bruner company also suffered considerable damage in that storm. 5
