Nebraska and South Dakota tonight
wrecking many buildings and killing
number OF persons. The extent OF
the damage and loss of life could not
be ascertained definitely tonight be-
cause the storn tore down wires and

hours
Estimates OF the dead ran as high
as fifty or sixty.
Great Bend. Kan, reported the worst
damage in early dispatches. Only a
few words came direct from Great
bend over telephone wires which We're
snapped before details could be
learned. One of these reports reach
ing Wichita said that six bodies OF
victims OF the storm had been found.
An earlier report said that fifty were
dead at Great Bend but later informa
ton Indicated that the death list
would not be higher than ten.
No reports were received from the
rural regions and a few from small
towns IN the path OF the windstorm
A message 10 the Missouri Pacific rail
road said that the tornado swept a
path lG miles wide at some places.
