suit of the tornado that swept through
the eastern portion of this city, delnol-
ishing half of the residences and Office
buildings, 200 families are homeless
and nearly 80 dead bodies and 70 in
jured persons have been recovered from
the ruins. More than a dozen of the
injured will die. Although rescuers
have been searching the ruins ever since
the storm spent its fury many are still
missing and it is thought that consid-
cradle number of the unfortunates were
consumed in the flames that broke OFT
soon after the storm had ceased. The
work of rescue continues, but it may be
days before the total number of victims
is known.
Through the Residence Section.
The tornado struck the city about @
p. H., cutting clean path one mile
long and 600 feet wide through the res
idence section. Buildings were demol-
ished or twisted apart and scattered to
the four winds. A conservative esti-
mate places the aggregate amount Of
damage at 100000.
For time the people in that portion
of the town not touched by TIE storm
were ranic-strickcn, but as soon rs they
recovered their wits they Immediately
went to the aid of their unfortunate
townsmen. Calls for help were sent to
surrounding towns and were quickly
responded to. Twenty-Five doctors from
Moberly, Macon and other points along
