ASRESULT
OF STORM

NEW CASTLE, Ind, Mar.
l2.-Relief work began
shortly after the tornado hit
this city Sunday, leaving ap-
proximately 1000 persons
homeless.
Mayor Leb Watkins, whose
home was damaged by the
tornado, the roof having
been wrenched off, immedi-
ately deputized 100 men as
special police and placed
them at work Systematically
searching the ruins and
debris for the dead and
missing.
Watkins communicated
with Muncie and in a short
time traction and telephone
linemen we're at work among
the mass of tangled wires and
fallen poles.
In a few hours cars were
again running between New
Castle and Dunreith and
Muncie.
With the arrival of the
militia from Winchester,
the soldiers took charge of
the rescue work. They
barred admission to the
storm-ridden districts, except
to workers and others who
bore acceptable credentials.
With both hospitals full of
injured, about twenty per-
sons in each, the Elks lodge,
the Baptist and other
churches and private homes

House Off Base
BY BASIL WALTERS

Charles Duke. three miles east OF
New Castle on the Richmond pike who
escaped the ravages Of the hurricane
tells the following story:
I'VE saw it coming It resembled a
large funnel The roar was Like that
of freight train. It did not move
fast Ben Beall, the man for whom
/ work, and were the only persons at
home We rushed to the cellar. Then
came the crash.
Death seemed inevitable The
house was twisted from its founda-
ton We heard the furniture and
stoves being tossed about above, Then
came the horrifying crash which took
the roof and top floor off. To make
sure it was past, we waited several
minutes, then forced our way out.
"The once beautiful farm home was
a total wreck. The dreadful cloud
which swept a path two hundred yards
wide had passed The fence had
been twisted up and tossed in big
heap. Gigantic trees many years old.
we're lifted from the ground and car
ried several yards"
Wind Digs Large Hole.
The wind had dug a large hole in
the road in front of the dwelling.
Hedge fence was torn roots and all
from the ground.
After passing the Beall home, the
tornado did no more damage until it
neared Hagerstown. It came toward
the farm from the southwest and aft
er passing swung around to the south
east.
On the way from New Castle to the
Beall farm the tornado did much dam
age and killed dozens of head of val
liable live stock.
A half mile west of the Beall home, it
struck two large barns on the farm OF
I. N. Millikan. leveling them and kill
ing Instantly little Ernest Waterman,
6, who was helping his father do the
evening work The father, Asa Wat
terman, is farm hand. His chest was
crushed by falling timbers, but it is
thought he will recover.
Valuable Horses Slaughtered.
Many valuable horses and cattle
were imprisoned under fallen timbers
and their pitiful means caused farm
ers to work untiringly all night to re-
lieve suffering. Several animals that
were not already dead, had to be
killed
It took fifteen minutes for the tor
nado to travel three miles. Clocks
stopped by the storm in New Castle
showed that it arrived there at 3:05
o'clock. Two clocks stopped at the
Beall home, three miles east. at $50
Twenty workmen working at the
Indiana Rolling Mills when the storm
struck, crawled into a large vault
when they heard the roof of the build
ing fall. The building was complete
ly demolished, but not man was in
jured. After the storm passed they
dug themselves out Of the debris.
Persons on the second floor of the
Colonial flat building saw the cloud
descending and ran into the basement
or into the street in time to escape
injury. Residents who ran into the
streets held onto trees, hitch posts
and all other solid objects
