DID LITTLE DAMAGE IN JASPER

A Few Silos and Outbuildings Measure Extent of Loss. Jasper county was out of the path of the big windstorm of Sunday afternoon which did such great damage about Chicago and in Lake, Porter, St. Joseph and Allen counties, this state. The wind blew quite hard here, but except for a few silos and outbuildings being wrecked, no serious damage is reported. Shelby Comer of Union had his silos blown down'and Mrs. Marsh Warner, residing in the east part of towi., bad her chicken house demolished only a few moments after she had in the building. Hail fell here quite heavy for a seconds, and they were of large size, but no particular damage is reported here. At Roselawn it is said all the windows on one side of the new schoolbuilding were knocked out and not a house in the town escaped losing a few window panes.
