EYE WITNESS
TELLS STORY
GRAPHIC RECITAL OF GREAT
STORM IN GREGORY COUNTY.

Bonesteel, July 12-A vivid word
picture of the panic. suffering and
destruction at ST. Charles, s. D., laid
waste, by a terrific twister Saturday
night was given by Judge George HI.
Cross when he returned to his home
here Sunday from st. Charles.
ITO realize how pitiful conditions
are at st. Charles, one must go there
and view the scene," said Judge
Cross. "The town certainly looks
like 1t had been struck by cyclone.
1t is mass of fallen timbers, demol
ished household goods and wrecked
buildings. To the little town of ST.
Charles the disaster has its effect as
the destruction of some ancient Gre
clan and Roman city had TO its nopu
ly speaking-is the scene.
'I saw women and children stand
ing by the ruins of their homes. their
eyes filled with tears as they gazed
upon what had been their homes.
saw residents searching in vain in
the mass of fallen and broken ma
terial from buildings for their be-
longings. But through 1T all there
was a spirit Of optimism. st. Charles
say the~vietims of the storm, must
and shall rebuild.
When reached the town | found
some folks in need of food and other
supplies. | was glad to learn that
merchants and others in nearby
towns had come to the aid of the
sufferers and were providing relief.
Houses and other buildings We're
blown clear across streets. The town
is one great wreck There were the
usual freaks of a twister-big TIM
bers driven through buildings by the
weight of the wind, and all that sort
of thing. The telephone exchange
was, of course, out of order, and that
was why ST. Charles had delay in get
ting in touch with other. towns.
There were about 20 residences in
the town and all but one of these
was damaged. and many of them are
wrecks, according to the judge. He
said he noticed one elevator was
blown clear across the tracks, and
another blown down. Four freight
cars were swept away from the
tracks and demolished. Two lumber
was destroyed, the hotel was badly
damaged and the pool hall in which
Howard Hughes lost his life was
blown to pieces. His mother was
seriously injured but will recover.
The general stores of the town
were not wrecked but were damaged.
According to reports received here
some damage was done by the lorna
do at Lake Andes and Platte. 8. d.
and Creighton, Neb.
While the storm wiped out st
Charles, the damage in the country as
a whole was far greater. 1t was es'
timated the loss in the rural sections
of the southern half of Gregory coun
| ty will reach at least $1,000,000
Dozens of small buildings were swep
away and many big barns were de
stroyed. One farmer lost his fine
| far mhouse and barn and all the 9th
er buildings on his place as a result
of the storm. Many head of liv'
stock were reported killed.
| Those who went through the storm
said it was remarkable not more thar
one person was killed.
At st. Charles persons tried II

Messages From
the People
STREET NAMES

A comSiittes from the East Side
Improvement Association, also a COM
mittce from the Pueblo Real Estate
Exchanges appeared before the City
Commissioners recommending some
changes in street names and systems
OF numbering
The East Side Improvement Asso-
ciation havo good plan: that of
numbering alpha bctically from tho
west to the east side. For instance. the
first street east CT Santa Fe Avenue
would be Atlanta Street. thcn Boston,
Chicago. Dayton and so on thru tho
list When street Is mentioned,
which is named for an American city
1t would be known Mt once that it Is
on tho East Side and the location
would be very easily known by the
letter the street name begins with.
This would require no change in the
numbers of the street. II is simply n
system of naming streets to be easily
remembered and located.
Tho Pueblo Real Estate Exchange
recommend a change in tho system
OF designating the BLOCKS. Tho legal
description of this section known as
the Blocks is Corona Park. This
committee suggests that tho Blocks be
numbered east and west of Union
Avenue. Block M for instance
would be 400 West Corona Park.
Corona Park. The names of the let
tered Blocks would be left out. The
different Blocks would bs numbered
with the odd numbers 1cinE east and
the even numbers facing west as is the
custom of numbering in the city.
There would be no difficulty in To-
eating any house in the Blocks with
this system of numbering.
Tho City Commissioners have takor
Tho of thpSe O unlcr Dd-
visement and would like the people
to make criticisms and suggestions
that will improve the plans already
suggested.
No argument in favor of a system
In naming the streets and numbering
the houses is necessary at this time.
IT is to oe hoped that the people
will be willing to have these changes
adopted. and the committees would
like very much to hear from tho peo-
pl. who are interested in the matter.
