HALF-CRAZED STORM
VICTIMS HUNT DEAD
Bodies Found Piercedby Heavy Tmbers - Insane Father
Carries Dead Babe in Arms.
BIZ United Preaa

BIZ United Press
BENTON, ILL.,, March 19.--
Tragedy stalked through West
Frankfort today as the half crazed
victims of yesterdays terrific hur-
friends and homes.
But today grief had taken the
place of the erratic shrieks which
pierced the town yesterday.
An eyewitness of the entire af-
fair, w. H. Purcell, describes the
scenes thus:
Confusion reigned. Houses had
been moved from their foundations.
Sides had been torn off, leaving bed
rooms exposed In some places the
houses had been tumbled into little
mounds of debris, with nothing left
to show but a heap of boards, plas-
ter and a few stones.
Some of the women folks were
near insane. One woman ran around
the crowd shouting inarticulately.
Her jabbering was in a foreign
tongue and no one could aid her.
"A little girl grasped each passer-
by asking for Mamma, but there
was no answer.
Miners, blackened by the coal
dust of their work. could be seen
prying frantically at the debris that
few hours before hae been their
homes. One miner carried an in
FAINT in his arms-hfeless-ye he in
sisted to every one the baby was
alive.
I'm the ruins of another house lay
a man and wife. 1t was Mr.. and
Mrs. Joe Roberts, both of whom had
been injured dangerously. Rescuers
were constructing rude stretchers Of
two-by tours and odd boards-which
few hours before had been parts
of a house-with which to carry the
two across the mud to waiting motor
cars. All available motor cars had
been pressed into service as ambu-
lances.
"And above all there were half
craZed shouts of persons as they
pulled their dead and dying relatives
from beneath the debris. Some were
so badly injured they died before
being placed on the stretchers.
Others died en- route to hospitals.
Little groups huddled around in
the street, first shouting, then moan
ing as they attempted to realize
what had happened to their homes
and their families.
Near the roundhouse of the Chi
cago & Eastern Illinois Railroad was
found the body Of a man, his neck
broken and a two-by-four piercing
his body. A woman was found close
by with a stick driven through her
head Other bodies were found with
arms and legs twisted completely
off,"

HORROR OF FIRE
AND DEATH TOLD
BY EYE WITNESS
First Outsider to Reach Town
Counts $50 Bodies at
One Morgue.
BD United Press

BD United Press
DUQUOIN, ILL.,, March 19-The
first authentic story of the destruc-
ton Of De Soto and Murphysboro,
Ill, was told today by A. w. Essick,
editor of the Duqoin Call.
Essic kwas the first outsider to
get into Murphysboro after the
storm struck and his description of
the tragedy was the first authentic
word out of the stricken city.
1.-THE storm struck the city at the
southwest corner and swept direct
ly through the business section, cut
ting swath about 100 yards wide.
1.-THE dome was lifted completely
off the city hall and hurled down
the main street The high school
was demolished and virtually every
building in the path of the storm
was wrecked.
Fire broke out almost immedi.
ately after the storm swept over
the town. One woman was burned
to death and / counted $50 bodies of
storm victims in one undertaking
establishment.
From Murphysboro I went d.
rectly of De Soto. This town is COM
pletely wiped from the map. Death
and destruction are everywhere and
not one-third of the population es-
capped death in the hurricane.
1.-the scene is that of absolute and
indescribable desolation and the hor-
ror of. fire adds to the travail Of the
day."
