More serious damage was done up country, at places hundreds of miles away where the storm broke earlier to the day. At the town of Donald £4000 worth of damage wis lone to boutes, orchards &c. Three men werd killed and churches and schools have shared in the general rain. The town of Nhill, is com- Petely wrecked and £50,000 won't cover, the damage.
