I saw a small boy ricked up and whirled away. I have never seen him since." "Roofs went skyward, telephone poles bent like willows, and finally snapped. I saw life-long acquaintances go down in wreckage of their stores. My own plant was wrecked, but I only received a few bruises." "Then came a cloudburst. Water fairly poured out of heavens, but the turnoff stopped as suddenly as it had started. Men and women with blood streaming from their wounds, hands and faces bleeding, dragged themselves from stores and offices. "It was gruesome sight, but we were destined to see others far more so." "Then the fire started. I do not recall just where but steady winds followed in wake of tornado and flames were fanned over wreckage where many persons lay injured." "Nearly everybody was injured But every man that could walk turned to, and helped. We succeeded in pulling dozens of men and women from burning ruins—but we must have missed some. They will find those today or tomorrow." "Then we concentrated on fighting the fire. It was a "noble 600" that fought fire to a standstill. There were men with broken arms who gritted their teeth and tried to ignore the terrible pain. Some of them fainted." "One of these men stumbled and fell, breaking his arm a second time. He regained his foot, cursed a while and continued to help. We didn't tell him or others to take rest. We need not every ounce of man in West Frankfort." "Then men from mines poured in.

News Service Staff Correspondent BENTON, Ill., Mar. 19 — Murphysboro and West Frankfort Ills., two once thriving towns of 15,000 and 18,000 population, are but scenes of tainted debris and broken bodies today. Proportionately to size, village of Desoto, few miles to northwest of Murphysboro probably suffered greatest blow from yesterday's tornado. Formerly boasting 700 souls, Desoto could offer but 450 mortals today and 300 per cent were maimed and bruised. Two hundred and fifty lives are said to have been snuffed out in this little community alone, many of them victims of sections of Murphysboro that escaped storm were ravaged by flames. Stoic battling at West Frankfort stemmed advance of conflagration that broke out there—but not until heavy damage had been inflicted. It was this fiery aftermath that gave birth to reign of horror thru the night. The storm itself dealt its death strokes quickly. It came in moment of sudden midnight darkness late in afternoon and passed on within few seconds. But for fires that followed, rescue work might have been more simplified but in first hours after tragedy, with only few able-bodied men in each stricken town, scenes of human incineration were indescribable.

Former estimates were lowered on Murphysboro from 400 to 150; on West Frankfort from 450 to 102 and at Desoto from 250 to 158.

Red Cross workers, doctors and nurses were exhausting first aid supplies almost as fast as a equipment could be sent to the relief bases at Benton and Du Quoin and at Murphysboro, Gorham and West Frankfort. Tents augmented by improvised hospitals and lodge halls, garages, churches, private homes and in fact, every available inch of shelter.

Estimate Property Loss From Disaster Will Total 100 Millions BETWEEN 850 and 1000 killed, some 3000 injured and more than 6000 homeless—this was the semi-official casualty record of yesterday's $100,000,000 tornado available this afternoon as the five states in which it spent its fury continued the monotonous counting of their dead. Illinois Red Cross tabulations at 2 o'clock contributed a quota of 638 lives, a large percentage of those of school children in towns in southwestern Illinois—Murphysboro, West Frankfort, Desoto. Indiana's dead was placed between 150 and 200. A total of 100 bodies already have been recovered and rescue workers say the ruins at Princeton, Griffin and Owensville had over half as many more. In Missouri, the latest figures estimate the dead at 31. Tennessee paid its tribute of 25 dead and 200 injured and Kentucky, touched by the edge of the death-laden twister, reported eight dead and some 50 injured. Crippled wire service and the general demoralization of the stricken areas made positive figures an impossibility this afternoon, almost 24 hours after the death laden tornade struck. Rescue workers rushed by the scores to the scenes of devastation, so far have concentrated their efforts on burrowing into the debris which once were cities and towns, uncovering additional dead and injured, bringing the maimed to emergency hospitals which have sprung up amid the ruins and providing shelter and food for the homeless. Red Cross casualty figures are revised almost hourly and officials say it will be days before the exact toll of the storm is known. Even while their 2 o'clock communique was being issued, there came a report that 40 persons had lost their lives in outlying sections of Hamilton-co., Illinois, where 100 farm homes had been razed but this did not bring a revision of the total casualties estimates. A path of desolation, strewn with approximately 1000 known dead and more than three times that number of injured, many of whom will probably die, stretched thirteen five states today in the wake of the tornado which yesterday wrilled out of northwestern Arkansas. Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Kentucky and Tennessee paid toll to the "black monster of the sky." nurses were exhausting first aid supplies almost as fast a equipment could be sent to the relief bases at Benton and Du Quoin and at Murphysboro, Gorham and West Frankfort. Tents augmented by improvised hospitals and lodge halls, garages, churches, private homes and in fact, every available inch of shelter. Property damage may reach $50,000,000 with several of the world's largest coal mines and many factories in ruins in addition to thousands of homes and business buildings. Bodies were still being taken from wreckage today, rescuers having to await the cooling of embers. Dynamite was employed to check the flames. At Murphysboro when the conflagration reached its zenith but practically the entire town stood in blackened ruins today. Highways and railroad tracks, choked by flying wreckage, were being cleared hourly and troops were turning back thousands of curiosity-limbed motorists who sought to enter the death area. In almost every town and village, school children paid greatest price. Hundreds of children met quick death when the powerful twister, surging forward on inky black clouds, engulfed them in the timbers and rock of village schools. More than 100 pupils perished at Desoto alone, 30 dead at Parrish, scores more were claimed at their desks in Murphysboro, West Frankfort, Vergennes, Bush, Logan and Rural buildings. Ten relief trains arriving from Chicago, St. Louis and other points were instrumental in greatly alleviating suffering. FIRE HALTS RESCUE BARRACKSVILLE, W.

(Continued on Page Two) A path of desolation, strewn with approximately 1000 known dead and more than three times that number of injured, many of whom will probably die, stretched thirteen five states today in the wake of the tornado which yesterday wrilled out of northwestern Arkansas. Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Kentucky and Tennessee paid toll to the "black monster" of the sky." And in those states today's dawn broke over some 33 towns in blackened ruins which mercifully halt the managet dead. Scores of bodies are believed to have been cremated in the flames which followed the tornado and added to the terror of the night. It will be days, possibly weeks, before anything approximating an accurate check on casualties can be made. Almost hourly come new reports of dead and injured as crippled wire communications are partially restored in the stricken area. And even in the more populous centers, the demoralization brought by the death-laden wind has prevented effective rescue work or any orderly reports on the loss of life. The extent of the property damage, residents of the storm-swept sections have not even attempted to estimate. Some rescue workers say it will run to $50,000,000; others believe $150,000,000 will be nearer. From the panorama of destruction, with its scores of towns virtually annihilated, state authorities admit they are unable to evolve any figures which they would be willing to offer as a damage estimate. The United States weather bureau at Chicago today charted the path of the storm as a strip less than half a mile wide thru Missouri), Illinois and Indiana. It first struck near Annapolis, Mo., lifted across the Mississippi river and struck with renewed fury on the Illinois border. Here the towns of Murphysboro, Gorham, Garbondale, De Soto, DuQuoin, Bush, Tammaros, Centralia, Benton, Logan, Parish, Franklin and West Frankfort and Thompsonville lie in its path. Completing its devastation there it again lifted as it sped eastward, destanding again
