A miniature twister last Monday struck the southern end of Frederick County near Point of Rocks along the B and O tracks. The narrow 200 foot wide path toppled trees and tore down power lines for about five minutes, with one tree falling on Vernon Shores' Oldsmobile near Wright and Company store. No homes were hit. Telegraph lines were restored by C and P telephone crew. In nearby Brunswick, heavy winds damaged 12x12 timbers at the B and O shops during recent construction of a coal chute and sandhouse, impacting railroad equipment. Sixteen cattle were killed and nine stunned two miles from Point of Rocks when lightning struck a fence on the old Shreve/St. Clair farm leased by Repass. Additional damage was reported across the Brunswick area.
