TWENTY-SIX BODIES
IN PATH OF CYCLONE
These Found In Town Of An
dale---Trains Hourly Bring
in More Injured

Wichita, Kan, May 26-Twenty-six
bodies, victims of the tornado which
wiped Andale, town twenty-five miles
northwest of here, off the map late
yesterday, have been recovered and
identified today while every train from
the stricken section brings in additional
injured.
Officials believe the death list will
reach thirty when other bodies, be-
lieved to be in the wreckage which lit
ters the prairies for miles about the
place where the beautiful little Kansas
village nestled down among the rolling
prairie, are found.
Several of the scores of injured are
also expected to die.
The twister, typical Kansas cyclone,
came without warning. The sun was
shining in Andale. At the school house
crowd of boys were playing baseball
while groups of shoppers chatted along
the business streets. At the Gorges
hardware store, n. E. Jones, a Wichita
bond dealer, was discussing the liberty
loan with the usual small town soap
box congregation. Hearing the roar,
Jones rushed into the street and saw
what was coming. He saved dozen
lives when the ran back into the store
with a warning cry.
Men, women and children rushed to
the basement. A few seconds later the
twister cut the building in half, setting
the roof and upper portion down upon
the floor.
The evclone which formed near An
dale, came from the southwest and was
followed by a severe rain and hail
storm. 1t struck the ground two miles
outside of Andale and tore through the
center of the town. The majority of
killed were beaten to death by flying
not having had time to seek
safety.
After passing through Andale the
tornado veered to the northeast, cut
ting swath half mile wide through
the rich farming lands along the Ar
kansas river buttons. 1t barely missed
