Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 34, Number 69, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 29 April 1902 — Wind Mill Had Too Much Wind. [ARTICLE]

Wind Mill Had Too Much Wind.

Returns from the windmills that will never pump again with breezes that are past, begin to come in from all directions. The wind of last Saturday played havoc with them in this vicinity. Only a partial list of those whose wind wheels have been wrecked can as as yet be given. DeLbs Thompson lost three, on his places east of town. Jesse Felix Parker, Robert Drake each one. out in that same direction McCoy & Porter, Henry Kohlhoff and Chas. Heusler, each one in Jordan, Mrs. Martha Donnelly and Dick Grow each one north of town. Other townships are still to be heard from. The wind-mill sellers are outwardly sympathetic but inwardly are chuckleing quite a good many chuckles. It is an ill wind that blows mo good to windmill agents.
