rainstorm. had swept over that city
at CSC p. Mi
The first message to be received
over the loug-distance telephone
from Meridian, Miss, which was lit
orally swept into a waste of crushed
debris by a tornado, told a tale of
12l persons dead in the ruins and
hundreds injured and destitute.
Fire started in the ruins of the
wrecked houses and public buildings.
Many of the victims were con-
sumed where they lay, still alive. but
unable TO eXtricate themselves from
the heap of debris that covered them.
Those who were able to get on
their feet started to fight the threat
ened conhagration and had flames
under control at one o'clock this
morning.
Whole blocks of buildings in the
path of the tornado were crumpled
up as if made of cardboard, then
tumbled into piles of twisted iron,
sulintered wood and heaps of mas
onry and bricks.
Hundreds are digging in the ruins
left by the tornado in search for
bodies, and the exact number OF lives
taken by the terrific storm will not

NO Year Old Baby Dies of Grief
and Cold.

Teaneck, N. j., Mar. S.-Neigh
hofs broke into the house of Salo-
mon c. Sherry and found his wife,
NAN. and their baby, Janet, two
vears old, dead in bedroom. The
two had not been seen since Thurs
dav some hours after Sherry himself
left town.
That the woman died of heart dis
ease after going to bed Thursday
night and that the baby sobbed her
litfle life away in grief and helpless
terror. is the only theory which seems
to BIT the facts.
Sherry is a sheet-iron worker, per-
hans a little younger than his wife,
wbo was thirty-five years old. They
were married four years ago in Hud-
son. n. Y, and lived in the Bronx
until they moved last July to Team
eck. which is two miles from Engle-
MOOD. sherry bought a pretty little
cottage on Railroad Avenue, and his
vic made a coy, happy home of it.
Sherry joined a club of young men,
ali of good standing, and he is re-
spected generally.
