TOTAL NUMBER OFDEAD NOTYETKNOWN
Buildings Carried High into the Air blythe
Terrific Wind---Hundreds Killed and
Wounded in One Cotton Fac
tory---City In Distress.

Gainesville, Ga, June 1-This lit
tie city was today visited by one of
the most disastrous catastrophes ever
recorded in this section of the coun-
try, and, as a result, probably two or
three hundred people are dead.
Shortly after noon, tornado swept
upon Gainesville, carrying buildings
INTO the air as if they were pieces
OF paper The tornado came from the
south, and while it never lasted very
long, it did damage to life and prop
erty to a great extent.
To state exactly how many lives are
lost is impossible, and it cannot be
ascertained until the debris has
been removed, as many bodies are un-
der the destroyed buildings.
The terrific tornado turned day
into night, and for awhile the people
could hardly see what they were do
ing. Tonight it is estimated that
between two and three hundred lives
nave been lost, and that many more
.i1ijlfreti; many of them fatally.
Special trains bearing surgeons from
various nearby cities, with medical
and hospital supplies, have been ar
irving every few minutes since the
great catastrophe and everything pos
sible is being done for the injured
who can be found.
When the crumbled buildings are
cleared away the exact number OF
fatalities can be ascertained as the
buildings tumbied down upon the oc'
oupants with but a minutes notice.
At one cotton mill alone, where five
hundred people are employed, it is
believed that two hundred were kill
ed and wounded.
Buildings of light construction were
picked up bodily and carried into the
air, only to fall on people who were
searching for safety.
Other large buildings were unroofed
and the lower portions we're twisted
and raised from the ground.
People were hurled for several hun
dred feet, then dashed heavily
against building, and were fatally in
iured or killed outright.
Indications are that at least nfty
