raj hundred injured and many houses

The towns of Hebron and Kouts
we're directly in the path of the tor
nado and the extent of the ravages
there Is not known, as the towns are
cut Off from direct communication.

number Of those injured will die.
According to survivors the cyclonic
cloud seemed to strike the ground a
short distance west OF Hebron and
swept away tho buildings on several
farms after destroying the entire west
side Of Hebron. The tornado shat
tered big grain elevator. unroofed
the Hotel Gordon and then swept due
east to ouIkts, where 80 buildings
were wrecked, including several
churches and big elevator and a
creamery.
Estimates of the property damage
place the amount at $2,00O,00O or
more.
The towns Of Lowell, Crown Point,
shelby, Cedar Lake and the adjoining
territory near the Kankakee river
also were visited by the tornado. The
property damage is extensive.

Benjamin Downs Found Dead in Rcd
(Tugaloo Tribune, 29th.)

The dead body of Benjamin Downs
was found lying on his bed at. his
nome in Westminster this morning at
8 O'Clock. Mr.. Downs was last seen
alive Saturday night about II O'Clock
as he was down town buying his
weeks supply of groceries. 1t is sup
posed that he died some time Satur-
day night, as his body is said to be
in an advanced state Of decomposi-
ton.
His wife died May 16, 1916, and
since that time he had lived alone.
His washerwoman, who lives in
house next door to the Downs home,
had missed seeing him the last day or
two and reported his absence. M. l..
Goss went to his room to make in
vestigation and found the dead body.
There Is no suspicion Of foul play.
Mr.. Downs had been in feeble health
for some time and 1t Is supposed his
death was from natural causes. He
was about 80 years Of age. The de-
ceased had lived In Walhalla and
Westminster for, 35 or 40 years, dur
ing which time he worked as q team
ster. for different parties. Mr.. Downs
was born near the Natural Bridge, in
Virginia. So far as we know he
leaves no reatives in this country.

Was Struck by Train While Oh Bridge
Guard Duty.

Laurens. May 27--Private William
w. Gaultney, Of the Traynham
Guards, who was so seriously injured
by being struck by freight train on
the southern Railroad, near Lawson's s
Fork trestle, a few miles from Spar

body was brought to this city on the
4.30 train this afternoon. The de-
ceased was a resident OF Watts Mill

noon at o'clock. The funeral Of
this soldier boy was conducted with
military honOrs. assisted by the
Woodmen of tho World, Of which or
der he was q member. His sister,
yesterday afternoon to be with her
injured brother.
Peculiar Coincidence.
1t IS a singular coincidence that
the first death from the Laurens con-
tingent in the late Civil War was also
caused by being run over by a train.
He was farmer, from the Rabun
Greek section, and was a member Of
either the old State Guards or the
Briars. His name was Vaughn, and
having died on the train between CO.
lumbia and Marion. S. G., his body
was taken off at Marion and prepared
for burial by the citizens Of that town
and inferred in the towns cemetery,
where his grave can still be seen,
marked by neat little headstone,
provided by his company or the citi-
zens Of Marion.
