HOMES GONE ALSO.
As If this horrible roll were not
enough, the storm left little to the sur.
vivors to begin life over again with.
Houses, barns, stock, everything was
swept before the storms fury. AT
Hawkins Bank the scene was most hor-
rible, About fifty citizens from Salem,
including all the doctors. went down as
soon as word reached there OF the dis
aster, and many OF them are there
still, as thoy are needed to nurse tho
wounded and care for the dead.
Farmers from the surrounding com:
try camo nobly to their assistance, and
many are now being cared for in the
immediate vicinity OF the Bank.
Atone farm house there were thirteen
persons wounded.
In one OF the cottages left standing a
sad scene was enacted. Mrs. Wilson
was lying in sight OF her dying baby and
calling on the doctors to save its life,
not thinking Of herself, or that when
the little ones life went out hers would
so shortly join it.
A special train from st. Louis, bring.
ing W. II. Leo, presidcut OF tho Midland
Blast Furnace Company, and a score Of
physicians, arrived thore last evening
and are doing all they can for the suf-
ferers.
To the southwest Of the territory nj.
ready covered is large section without
rapid communication and II Is feared
that the mails may yet bring stories Of
as great destruction US has already been
deteilod.
