Two Are Killed, Many In
jured, and Scores of
Buildings Wrecked
MANY FRANKS ARE
PLAYED BY WIND
Chickens Denuded of
Feathers and Houses
Lifted From Ground
CBy Associated Press.l

vanwert, O., March 1.-Two pers
sons are known to be dead, another
is reported missing, four persons are
in a local hospital between rs and so
farm homes are completely or part
" demolished and scores Of barns
and out buildings were blown down,
as the result Of q tornado which
swept this county last evening.
The financial loss in the county Is
estimated at from 100000 to $1,000
O0O.S The tornado first struck at
Middleburg travelling northeast
across Harrison, Pleasant and Union
townships. The tWister would sWoop
down, wreck a farm house, or pos
sibly two or three, and then jump
over four or FIVE miles before doing
more damage.
Reports received here yesterday
say that Continental and Halgate, O.,
were not wiped out, but that much
property damage was done. No lives
were reported lost at either place.
The comparatively small pOpula-
tion OF VRnwert county prevented a
much larger loss OF life. There was
very little damage done in the city.
Most Of the havoc was wrought west
and northeast Of the city.
Six members OF the ShOwwalter
family in Harrison township, were
more or less seriously injured when
their home was demolished. Reports
last Saturday said the family had
been killed. Another woman in the
same neighborhood was badly burn
ed when her home was wrecked and
a stove was upset.
The tornado played queer pranks.
Hundreds OF chickens were entirely
denuded and left without a feather.
One chicken with only a few feathers
left. was blown high in the air and
landed on a telephone post, from
which IL was rescued.
Big boulders, weighing a ton. were
found In the roads at several points
having been lifted from fields or
creeks and carried many yards. In
Union township, a farm house was
lifted from its foundation and was
carried into an adjoining field 4
heavy stove in this house was carried
half a mile by the twister.
Tim. O., March ia tornado
visited the west and middle portions
of Seneca county early Saturday
morning, causing thousands Of dol
lars worth Of damage.
FIndlay, o., March 11.-DamaEe es-
timated at 5000, 900 was done in Han
cock county when the tornado swept
through here early Saturday even

DUNWOODY IS
TURNING OUT
MANY OFFICERS
Naval Training School
Handling Large Number
OF Recruits

NJ. A. Schur, chief quartermaster
in the navy and instructor in the
avtacs&n department at Dunwoody
institute, Minneapolis, who spoke al
the Grand theater Sunday evening
under the auspices of the Grand
Free Lecture Bureau. said today that
by May Dunwoody win be taken
over in its entirety by the navy.
-Four Fargo men who graduated
last Tuesday as members of a class
instructed by the officer accompan-
led him 70 Fargo, being Frank Will
liams, George Merrill, Arthure Hade-
land and Alfred Hauser.
ABOUT $50 men are now being
trained at Dunwoody, receiving in
struction in various branches Of the
aviation service, and in a year the
institute will handle about 900 men
ana prepare them for active service.
Just now, according to the Of
f1cer, the particular need at the in
stitute is for trained carpenters. as
THE demand for carpenters in the
AVIATION service is particularly great.
Makes Fine Impression.
Despite the fact that it was his
maiden speech" QuaFtermaster
schur made a very favorable impress
sion on capacity audience at the
Grand theater last evening.
His address was one of the num-
beers Of the Grand Free Lecture
course, and so great was the inter
est in the work at Dunwoody that
the theater was crowded. and sew
eral hundred persons were turned
away unable to find even standing
room.
The speaker was plainly nervous at
first, but he was so evidently inter
ested in his subject and so well in
formed upon it. that he soon over
came his nervousness, and the audi
ence was more than willing to over
look any oratorical shortcomings. Mr..
Schur outlined the instruction given
the recruits. and told many interest
ing facts about the construction. up-
keep and the flying OF an airplane.
The four Fargo men who accom-
panied him had positions on the stage
during his address. and previous TO
his speech II. III. Wooledgs OF the
Mour Minute men gave. a short talk
1n the income tax, showing how the
American tax puts a larger share Of
the burden on the rich than does the
English tax.

age OF 1858 tons, an increase OF
nearly ton per cent. over August.
When 1t Is considered that colored
stevedores handled by far tho largest
per cent. OF this tonnage, some idea
can be formed Of the very important
service colored stevedores arc rem
dering the Government here in
France, and how necessary are they
to the success OF tho Allies.
Tho work OF colored steyedores
may be Menial. and Is laborious, but
1t ia as essential as tho manning of
guns at the front. Fact Is, without
these stevedorcs first unloading and
aiding in transporting tho guns,
munitions and supplies to tho front
there would be no manning Of guns
ut the front. One who sees tho
stevedores work notes with what
rapidity and cheorfulness they work,
and what very important cog they
are in Mars machinery.
The colored stevedore has greater
endurance than the others and be-
cause OF the absolute necessity OF
stevedores to aid the men at the
front. the employment, or drafting
OF so many colored stevedores be-
| comes a compliment.
