Fearful Loss of Life.
Seventeen persons are known to
have been killed in Mississippi. From
Terre Bonnie, on the coast or Louisiana,
there came stories of heavy loss of life,
while points in interior Mississippi tell
of casualties in the country districts
now inaccessible because of interrupted
wire service.
While the major part of the damage
has been done to growing crops, scores
of buildings, residences and business
houses have been unroofed or demol-
ished. The FIVE states devastated by
the storm are Mississippi, Louisiana
Tennessee, Arkansas and Alabama.
Lightning Brings Death.
When the gale struck Sturgis, Miss.
five persons were killed by the collapse
of store building. Bradley and
Chapel, in the same district, reported
four killed by lightning.
In southern and central Alabama
there was great damage to property
At Greenville and Bruton scores OF
| residences and business houses were
unroofed or demolished. There was
no loss of life in these towns, but
eight negroes were struck by Lightning
and killed near Bruton.
The property damage in this district
was immense.
Many Believed Dead.
Reports of the loss or life on the
Terre Bonnie coast of Louisiana, where
100 people were killed last September
in storm, have not been verified.
1t viii probably be a day or tive
before communication is restored.
The storm was peculiar in forma
ton. Beginning early Friday it sweep
Tennessee, Mississippi and Arkansas
It's trail was then lost for several hour
but at midnight last night it descended
on middle Mississippi and taking tw'
courses plowed its way through tn
'.0utheast and southwest and out t.
the gulf Saturday.
Not a railroad in the storm section
has escaped numerous washouts. Wagon
roads are impossible ana wire service
is badly crippled.
Hundreds of poles are down and hun
dreds of miles of telegraph and tele
phone wires were put out Of commits
sion by the high wind, hail and rail
that swept the stricken districts.

nure and lofty diction with which the
message from the pulpit was clothed.
In the % years Of his leadership he
preached but one sermon week and
undertook no pastoral duties beyond
this. This was in strict accordance
with the terms OF his acceptance OF
the call and represented his concep-
tion Of ministerial usefulness.
II was inevitable that the time would
come when the church would require
q Younger man and a wider scope OF
na stnral activities. The severing OF
long-cherished ties was hard for both
pastor and people. DR. Stuart and his
wife went east the first of the year

that the formal turning over OF his
work 10 another man was too hard an
experience fol him to go through with.

CITY MAY PURCHASE OLD
ELECTRIC PARK PROPERTY
Plan Discussed Of Securing II BY Pri-
Vste Negotiation Rather Than BY
Condemnation.

Electric Park may be bought by the
city as an addition TO the Belle Isle
bridge approach through private ne
sioner Hurlbut, instead OF by condem-
nation proceedings.
This was the means of settling the
park approach problem discussed In
the meeting of the council committee
on parks and bouleyards, Tuesday
morning. Attorney Arthur c. O'Con-
nor appeared for the owners OF the
property and intimated mat a bargain
might be struck without going into
court. He wanted 10 get some decision
one way or the other soon, he stated,
as there is a deal on TO lease the Elec-
tric Park site TO amusement promoters
for 10 years in case the city does not
buy the land. Court proceedings
would hold this up and perhaps ruin
the Gauklers. who have invested heay-
ny in the property
The committee discussed the whole
matter and reserved decision as TO
condemnation proceedings until IL can
be shown what other arrangements
may be made The discussion devel-
oped the fact that the widening OF the
approach may cost as much as $780,
600.
Fred W. Smith appeared for the
King family, owning property east OF
the present approach. to say that no
bottling works or other buildings
would be erected on that tract OF land.

to whether the property is TO be ac-
qured by the city.
