LIVES LOST IN A CYCLONE

the Principal Victims of the
Destructive Storm.
KILLED AND INJURED RUN INTO SCORES.

Buildings Leveied in the Former

less and Destitute-Scenes of Dis
tress and DesOIation.

Kirksville, Mo-, April 2o.-As result
of the tornado that swept through the
eastern portion of this city Thursday
evening, demolishing half of the resi-
dences and other buildings, more than
30 dead bodies and 10 injured persons
have been recovered from the ruins.
More than 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 a considerable
number of the unfortunates were con-
sumed in the flames that broke out soon
after the storm ceased. The work of
rescue continues, but it may be days
before the total number of victims is
known.
At Newtown.
Chillicothe, Mo-, April 29.-Scenes of
utter distress and desolation were pic
tured Friday in the little tornado swept
burg of Newtown, 40 miles north, on the
St. Paul railway. A day of ceaseless
search among the ruins and work for
the injured and suffering followed a
night of gloom and despair. Fifty fami-
lies are homeless. There are about Is
dead and over so injured, while half of
the place is in ruins. A complete list of
casualties will not be known for several
days.
Path of the Storm.
ST. Louis, April 29.-According to the
best information, the storm which
nf Il doe t~t,o
ton of property in northe.n Missouri
originated in Nebraska. Its course was
southwest through western Iowa to the
Missouri state line thence through
Harrison, Grundy, Sullivan, Linn, Ma
con, Shelby and Marion counties, north
and west through Lewis, Knox, Adair,
Sullivan and Putnam counties. When
the storm retraced its course it was al
most parallel with the other track
traversed, and it was then that Kinks
Vile and Newtown were struck. AS
far as known, Kirksville, Newtown and
Lancaster, Mo, are the only towns that
felt the full force of the storm.

overhanging ledge of rocks in one Of
