DEATHS IN STORM REACH HUNDRED Rechecking of * Casualties Shows Heavy Loss of Life and Scores Injured. Cleveland, June 29.—Loss of life in yesterday’s tornado, which wrecked a large portion of Lorain and parts of Sandusky ^nd other Ohio cities, was not so great as first reports indicated, but rechecking of casualties tonight showed that more than 10Q persona lost their lives in this storm and al most simultaneous disturbances at Pittsburgh and in the upper Mississ ippi valley. The greatest loss of life was at Lorain, where the latest count showed 59 dead and US injured, a score of them suffering severe hurts. The property loss there was upwards of $30,000,000, 125 city blocks having been demolished At Sandusky it was found that only six persons were kill ed, although 100 were injured, and property valued at $2,000,000 was de stroyed. There were seven fatalities ift Cleveland, although the property damage was small. Pittsburgh re ported 16 persons killed, while Man tua, Ohio, reported three dead: French Creek, three dead, 12 houses demolished or badly damaged; Wey mouth, two, and Akron, one. The death total in Iowa and lilllnols was 12, making a death list of 109. The total property damage when reports from the rural regions are complete will probably aggregate $50,000,000. Despite the devastation - at Lorain, where the tornado tore down a quar ter of the city, organized rescue work west forward smoothly and state troops kept order among the inhabi tants, hundreds of whom were thrown out of their homes and had to be sheltered in tents and with friends. The greatest loss of life at Lorain occurred in the state theatre, a four story building, which partly collapsed and crushed many of the spectators at a motion picture performance. As soon as resene was organized last night, a survey of the situation led to the deduction that many scores had been killed, for ^buildings had been whipped down over the heads of several fairly large assemblages. At a bathing beach house the struc ture was tom to pieces and it was announced that dozens had lost their lives. Investigation today, when light per mitted a search of the ruins, showed that probably every one at the beach had escaped with his life. The fact that the tornado struck both San dusky and Lorain while factories wire emptied on account of Saturday after noon holiday probably reduced the death toll by hundreds, for a number of manufacturing plants were torn down only a few hours after several thousand employees had left their work. Fears were entertained during the night for the safety of several steam ers on Lake Erie and in Sandusky bay, but the calm sunlight of Sunday showed that all steamers had safely ridden the itOi*!!! except one tewing launch, which had been crushed Bids For mt j to v v<": Bridge To -...

Laurens, June 27.—Bids were open ed here yesterday for the construct ion of a top-soil road from the new bridge to be built across Saluda river at Puckett’s Ferry to one and one- half miles beyond Mountville. At the same time bids were opened for the construction of a bridge across Long Cane creek, between Cross Hill and Puckett’s Ferry, both these projects begin on the Calhoun highway.

SOME GOOD ADVICE Strengthened by Clinton Experiences. Kidney disease is too dangerous to neglect. At the first sign of back- ahee, headache, dizziness or urinary disorders, you should give the weak ened kidneys prompt attention. Take things easier and use a reliable kid ney tonic. There’s no other kidney medicine so well recommended as Doan’s Pills. Clinton people rely on them. Here’s oen of the many state ments . from Clinton people. Mrs. C. H.

The 35 persons on >oard this launch scrambled from the wreckage to the barge and escaped injury. Housing of the homeless and atten tion to the injured occupied the at tention of scores of doctors and nurses and Red Cross workers, who tad been rushed to the scene during the night as quickly as trains could be piloted into Lorain over under mined tracks and flooded automobile roads. The police and fire depart ments, aided by the first arrival of state troops, began clearing away the wreckage that blocked many thor oughfares and continued by daylight the haphazard search started last night for bodies of those who had been killed and for any injured per sons who might not have been able to release themselves from the fallen buildings. The rural damage probably was not so great as at first feared because the storm jumped over large acreas without doing much damage. The tornado struck Sandusky, about 50 miles west of Cleveland, and demol ished many buildings, telephone and telegraph lines and then jumped al most the entire distance of 25 miles eastward to Lorain without doing serious injury. ' But at Lorain, a thriving manufacturing city of some 40,000 persons, the black funnel-shap ed wind dropped down with renewed fury. It blew at a speed of 86 miles an hour in spots and possibly much faster at its vortex. The devastating whirlwind swept through the city, twisting and tumbling whatever came in its way. . It was thought tonight that the situation was well in hand but that several days’ time would be required to clear away the wreckage in the place* where the storm hit . *■ i! ■ 'T«)H ‘s .11. I A. B.
