SAW DEBRIS FROM TORNADO IN SKY When one realizes just how close these tornadoes pass to ui. it makes one stop and wonder. Anne Taylor, who resides just south of Manhattan, was standing In the front door watching, what she thought was a nice quite rain. Suddenly she said, “thats queer, I just saw something come down our of the clouds and land over tn Clarenre Pollom's field.” Today, upon investigating it proved to be about a half sheet of new aluminum roofing or siding torn and twisted. Evidently it had bee", carried from either Terre Haute, or the other stricken towns and Ihe twister was passing over a

that tine.
