WIOES T FEVEN LIVE « Kiled in Storm in Yankion, South Dakota Chicago, Sept. 14 M — Two tor- madoes, wiping out lives and amash- ing buildings and homes, had left portions of Nebraska and South Da- kota virtually in ruins today. Eleven persons were known to be oy dead, The town of Davis, 8. D, a community of 250 people, Was a mass of wreckage. More than 100 were injured, many seriously, from twisters that cut two separate strips of destruction late yeserday. Both strips traveled northeaster- ly, crippling communications, so that only meagre reports had come from many outlying sections early teday. Four Schaols Collapse Four eountry schools filled with pupils crumbled in the path of the Nebraska storm, which began near Bancroft and continyed into Iowa, taking five lives. A special train of doctors from Bioux City, Ta., left to care for moge than 80 injured. More than 20 houses and the Minneapolis and Omaha railroad depot in Daketa City, Neb., were wrecked or blown away. Injured persons filled a hospital, hotel and two homes in Walthill, Neb. The baby daughter of Mr. and Mrs, Edward Kunzie was carried halt a mile from their farm near Winnebago, Neb., and was found dead in a hay atack. Six Are Killed Six were killed in the storm which began near'Yankton, S, D, and continued beyond Davis, 40 miles northeast of Yankton. Many farm buildings and hundreds of head of livestock were destroyed in the mile-wide swath of the storm, which ended a prolonged heat wave. A score were injured in the village of Davis which was almost totally awept away. Rhode Island Hit Providence, R. I, Bept. 14 (@ — Chain lightning, rain that al- most a cloudburst, hailstones as big as marbles and a gale of tornado fury struck Rhode Island in sep- arated areas last night and left an erratic . trail of destruction. The freak wind of barely two minutes’ duration lifted roofs and chimneys off houses, hurled plazzas in the air, uprooted trees, felled telegraph poles and carried piazza furniture for distances as great as a quarter of & mile in East Providence. The rain, which fell for only about 20 minutes, flooded roads and short circuited high tension wires, combining with fallen poles and trees 1o plunge wide sections on both sides of Narragansett bay into darkness through loss of electric service and to isolate others from telephone communication. Breaks Windows The hail broke many windows. The lightning struck one residenc: and numerous trees and poles and produced a heavenly spectacle un- paralleled in beauty and clarity for this region. Greatest havoc produced by the gale was reported from Narragansett terrace in the River- side mection of East Providence, summer home of Gov. Norman 8. Case. Though trecs were blown down on the governor's estate no property was damaged. This city escaped all of the storm except the electrical display. Sec- tions chiefly affected were Appo- naug, Knightsville, Oaklawn, South Kingstown, Scituate, the Pawtuxet valley, Rumford. Phillipsdale, Har. rington and Seekonk in nearby Mas- sachusetts. One: Life Lost Boston, Sept. 14 M—-A series of terrific wind and lightning storms which swept four New England States late yesterday cost at least one life and left in their wake a heavy tolt of property damage. From Rhode Island and New Hampehire came reports of unroof- ed houses, uprooted trees, felled chimneys and temporary paralysis of communications. Ridge, N. H. 22 miles east of Keene, was probably the hardest hit of any place. Wind of tornado ve- locity swept an area four miles in length and half a mile wide, caus- ing general havoc and unroofing many houses. One bhuilding, the town basket shop, collapsed a mo- ment after two women who had been working there fled to the street. Property damage was csti- mated at $50,000. ° Lowell, and other places in north- eastern Massachusetts experienced a sharp electrical stormm which was eccompanied by heavy rainfall with washouts frequent.
