ST 900, 900 DAMAGE
School Children Were
Among the Chief Suffer
ers of Storms.


SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, April 10 lP.-
Tearing straight line through six
central Illinois counties, series of
tornadoes and line squalls this after
noon brought death to upwards of two
score persons, injury to two hundred
others and left scores in dozen COM
munities homeless.
Uncertainty colored all reports and
gave rise to belief that further reports
may send the fatality and injury
figures higher or eliminate some names
from the list of dead. Where damage
was heaviest, wires are down and
definite reports are available only from
those who are penetrating the territory
over tree-strewn and water-soaked
roads by horse and wagon. Among the
communities reporting fatalities were:
Carrollton, killed and 12 injured;
Buffalo Hart, s Killed; Cornland
killed; Clinton, 10 injured Chestnut,
y killed; Hardin, | killed. Centerville,
4 killed and s injured: Mount Pulaski.
l killed and 6 injured; Wrights,
killed and 2 injured; Laomi, G killed;
Woodville, killed; Kafer, killed.
The freak storm started at the
Mississippi river and was described by
weather bureau officials as series of
line squalls as distinguished from a
tornado.
School children We're among the chief
sufferers in today's storm. Three were
reported to have been killed or injured
when the storm. wrecked rural schools
elsewhere, according to fragmentary
reports
The storm for the most part struck
small towns Of 200. or 800 population.
then descended again on villages and
hamlets further away
Besides the loss of life, heavy prop
erty damage was done, but the damage
did not approach the figure of the
tornado of two years ago when up
wards of 500 persons were killed in the
southern part of the state.
Buildings We're wrecked, trees up
rooted and wire communications with
the stricken districts virtually were
cut off for several hours
Within an hour after first reports of
the loss of life came from the storm
swept district, relief measures were
under way. First aid was rendered by
volunteer assistants who penetrated
the damaged area from larger towns
from 25 to rs miles away
The Red Cross at ST. Louis and at
Chicago planned to send immediate
help where it was most needed.
Many of the injured were taken to
Jacksonville and other nearby towns
Early reports indicated that the dam
age would be more than $1,000 OOO

area from nearby towns
