Hall Caused Considerable Damage Near Virgie Tuesday.

Jim Meyers, of near Virgie, was in town today, and reports that there was a big hail storm at Virgie at about 5 o’clock Tuesday evening. He thinks that it will result in much damage to corn and rye. An effort was made by telephone to ascertain'more about the damage. From what we were able to Iparn only a small strip of land suffered from the storm.,, The hail was about the size of hazelfiuts and almost entirely covered the ground. The corn was badly cut by‘ the hailstones. Theodore W. Baradach, of Chicago, brother of R. W. Baradach, the Chicago man who was killed about two weeks ago when his automobile went in the ditch about a mile north of town, wars in town yesterday and made arrangements for sending the wrecked machine to Chicago. He paid D. W. Waymire for bringing the machine tJ town and storage charges, and the machine was hauled to the depot yesterday evening.
