Wrecked by Wind and Sand.

A windstorm of unusual force and destruction raged all over the southern part of California. The storm carried with it fine sand from the desert to the east that filled the air and obscured the vision. Much damage was wrought to oranges and some damage to buildings. Railroad traffic is delayed. At San Bernardino the roof of the storage house of E. E. Katz was blown off. William Mees’ blacksmith shop was wrecked. At Santa Ana windows and plate glass fronts were broken and outbuildings carried awaj. Several houses were badly damaged.
