Reports received from the colonies swept last week by a terrific gale indicate the extent of the damage done. The Jewish colony Kalinindorf suffered especially, according to details published in the “Emes,” Yiddish daily.
Most of the houses in Kalinindorf are without windows, and doors, many roofs were blown off. Immediate help is needed as the rain is continuing.
Telephone poles falling in the streets caused terror to those compelled to go out. At first the residents thought an earthquake had visited the section.
The entire spring sowing has been destroyed.
