sons are known TO havr been killed,
more than fifty have received injuries
from which it is said several will die
and property worth thousands Of dol
lars upon which no valuation yet has
been set was destroyed late today
when a tornado swept up through
Sedgwick and Harvey counties in the
south central part OF the state.
Andale, a village Of less than 800
inhabitants, bore the brunt of the
twister's rage, eighteen lives being
the toll before the storm, which, ac-
companied by binding rain, bore on
to the northwest.
The country southeast Of Newton
furnished the remaining fatalities,
three lives being lost five miles from
that city.
Wreaks Fearful Havoc.
The country between Andale and
Newton was pierced by path from
quarter to a half mile wide, where
the twister ground everything in its
path either to death or to inanimate
destruction. Sedgwick, the largest
town between Andale and Newton,
barely escaped from the storms fury,
few houses in one corner Of the city
limits being the only loss.

Storm Bursts Suddenly.
The storm burst suddenly on the
town, which but few minuets before
had been enjoying the sunshine, with
terrific torrent of rain. Coming
from the southwest, it dropped to the
ground two miles before reaching An.
dale, levelling houses, trees and fields
in its path.
A warning cry Of a man who had
heard the ominous roar prompted the
occupants Of the little country general
store to rush into the basement Just as
the cyclone struck the building, cut
ing 1t In half and settling the roof
upon the floor. A dozen lives were
saved in the store by the prompt dive
into the cellar.
Hail accompanied the wind and rain
and hastily gathered reports from the
devasted section extending to Sedg-
wick. told Of complete destruction OF
standing grain and fruit.

down the gage at the feet of Cradlebaugh's :;

mystery than he found himself in the center
of a vast maelstrom Of his own creation;
cradlebaughs was but patch in wilder
ness of riot and corruption. an incident in
a series of big events. and Murgatroyd dis
covered that he was battling not only with
a single institution, but with Il huge politl-
cal principle-he was at war with mig
city.
Another man might have been discour-
aged for millonaires, large property own
ers, reputable taxpayers. statesmen OF the
highest order and even his best friends came
to him and begged him to call OFT ms
crusade but he only shook his head. AS he
proceeded he made the discovery that a
political organization is not an organiZa-
tion---it is a man: that crime is personlhed :
and that corruption is concrete. ANA as
the battle waged he found hiinseH con-

they had waited for.

clared that the cabinet considered the
