heavy rains developed into waterspout early
this morning. The downpour OF rain visited the
town OF Winona, in Shannon County early this
morning and when the citizens could venture
out to estimate the amount Of damage 1t was
learned that over ten persons had been drowned
At . O'Clock this afternoon seven bodies had been
recovered from the food, and IT Is estimated that
at least dozen persons have been drowned by
the water which has washed down through this
place since late last night. The lowlands In this

and over thirty houses were demolished. The
adjoining towns have been telephoned to for help
and the railroads are arranging for relief trains

The downfall of rain still continues. and 1t is
thought that further damage will ensue. The
crops in this vicinity, which have been har-
vested will be a total loss. and the damage to
the farmers will be beyond estimation. The
