KANSAS CITY. April "A special to the
Star from WameRo, Kan. says: "Seveu
persons were killed Is the dreadful record
Of Thursday nights cyclone in this vi
cinttyn
Fifty killed. These two words. when the
story Of the recent Kansas cyclone is told
will represent the loss of human life, as near
as can be computed now. Telegraphic com-
munication with a ma joritY OF the towns in
the stricken district is as yet very imper-
feet, and there is still no connection what
ever with few points that were in the
path OF the storm. The first news over
the restored lines tells of destruction, suffer-
Ing and death. 1t Is believed that most of
the worst disasters have been reported, but
there are still 10 be heard from New Kiowa /
and DeGraR and the country districts !
where the storm created the greatest hav VOC !
Many Isolated fatalities will doubtless come I
10 light within the next few days, swellingi
the death list TO a considerable extent. The
present list Of the dead, including those who
have died from their injuries, now number
twenty seven.
