CAETHAGE, MO. 



A miniature cyclone struck one of 

 Stephen Hyde's greenhouses during the 

 rain storm May 5, tore it up and carried 

 it away. The demolished greenhouse 

 was 30 X 300 feet in size and the loss 

 totals some $3,000 or $4,000, counting 

 the cost of repairing the other green- 

 houses to which this one was attached. 



The other greenhouses were not 

 touched by the wind directly, showing 

 to what narrow lines the force of the 

 wind was restricted. There were four 

 houses, all of the same size, ridge and 

 furrow style, with no partition walls 

 between them. When the wind tore the 

 one section away from between the 

 others, the latter were naturally much 



wrenched, because they had all been 

 joined together. The whirlwind came 

 from the south and seemed to move 

 directly north in traversing the length 

 of the narrow glass building which it 

 destroyed, but as it passed on it veered 

 slightly to the northeast and rose as 

 it moved on, doing no damage after 

 leaving the Hyde grounds. It scattered 

 glass for a thousand feet in its course 

 north of the greenhouse, some of the 

 panes of glass alighting unbroken that 

 far from where they had been torn 

 away. The demolished house was used 

 for lettuce beds, Mr. Hyde having done 

 a big business in shipping lettuce. No 

 one was in the destroyed building at 

 the time the wind struck it, but several 

 workmen were busy in the adjoining
