COUNCIL BLUFFS, lA. 



Big House Collapses. 



Damage to the extent of some thou- 

 sand dollars was sustained at 6 o'clock 

 on the evening of July 31, when a sud- 

 den whirl of wind set in violent vibra- 

 tion the steel framework of one of the 

 huge greenhouses being erected by J. F. 



tion, once set up, continued unt^ the 

 whole mass crumpled and fell. > *' 



, The houses are being built by the 

 king Construction Co., of Tonawanda, 

 N. Y., whose contracts with the Wilcox 

 company are said to aggregate about 

 $100,000. The men in charge of the 

 work are at a loss to account for the 

 accident, and say it is most feimarkable 

 and without precedent. The last bolts 

 had been screwed up in the frame a 

 few minutes before the little whirlwind 

 came along and started the vibrations. 

 Another house of the same dimensions. 



which stood by the side of it, and which 

 had been glazed, was not even shaken; 

 not a light was cracked. 



The extent of the loss cannot be 

 ascertained until the material is taken 

 apart and it is ascertained how many 

 of the pieces can be used again. A large 

 quantity of new material, however, 

 was ordered from the factory by wire. 

 The Wilcox firm will sustain no loss ex- 

 cept by the delay in completing the 

 work, which may require a month.
