These reports grew In numbers every
day and covered large territory, In
dicating that the entire eastern water (
shed of the Rocky mountains from the
Nebraska and Iowa lines TO Texas,
was swept by storm. Friday night
the seyerest blow came. Reports OF
loss OF life and destruction OF
property came with very tele-
gram, and the downpour which
was regarded as blessing,
grew into a wave Of devastation.
Fields Of grain that promised the most
bountiful yield in many years were
sunday swept bare OF vegetation. In
several instances the seas Of rain were
abctted In their work Of destruction
by tornadoes. II is too early yet 10

appalling, and those TO whom the an'

five persons were lost. Uniform re-
ports are received Of loss Of life as fol-

Three at Fayetteville, Ark, one at
Richards, Kas, and six Of hunting

gives known and probable loss Of
forty-three lives This total will be
increased when the receding water
permits thorough search. Tho loss In
