Dealing death to more than fifty
others and causing inestimable prop
erty loss, the worst series of lorna
does in the history of the southwest
swept Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kansas
and Missouri Wednesday night and
Thursday.
1t has been practically impossible
to secure detailed information of the
various disasters. Reports have been
struggling in over badly crippled wires
since early Wednesday night. They
are conflicting In many instances,
though in the main they may be re-
garded as fairly accurate.
What seems to have been a con
inuation OF the tornado which devas-
tated northeastern Oklahoma and
northwest Arkansas Wednesday night
swtpt through Missouri Thursday,
passing in a northeasterly direction
as far as st. Louis. Fifteen people
are known to have been killed in Mis-
souri, and the number OF the injured
can only be guessed at.
Between twelve and fifteen people
were killed in eastern Oklahoma and
northwest Arkansas Wednesday night.
Three were killed outright at Big
Heart when that town was completely
wiped out. There appears to have
been a cyclone period of about two
hours during which time nearly a
dozen tornadoes in widely scattered
communities occurred. Fully $50 peo-
pie are believed to have sustained in
juries.
First reports of the death toll in
Kansas seem to have been exagger-
ated. Latest reports Thursday night
state that only five persons were kill
ed by the tornadoes which devastat-
ed four towns in the neighboring
state. SIS
