TELLS STORY
:i:NTItAMA, 111. Oly Ihe Asso
ciated' I're&H) A graphic eyewit
ness account of the destruction of
the Ie Koto ouhlic school and the
widespread damage there was told
y Mux llurton. u teh-Rraih oper
ator for tint .Illinois Vutrul rail
road at Tama roa, about ZV ndlcfl
from the scene of the disaster.
Hurlon hastened to the little
town immediately after receiving
word of t!ie disaster. "Itrscue
workers were plIInK bodies of little
children on mattresses and blank
ets on the playground outside the
school house," Burton said. "Jt
seemed that there was no one
there to claim tue.m Their pa
rents were being taken to hospitals
on special trains uud In ambu
lances. llotlifg of Ilabe.s Seen.
"A few yards behind the school-
house. In a field near the ctly lim
its, I saw tlie bodies of two little
babies about G or K months old.
Hoih were dead, and their clothed
were torn off.
I "The principal of the school vih
on hand, and he was trying
identify the bodies of the pupils,
also worry mi? over the' where
about s of t wo girl teachers, who
were unuccounted for. The princi
pal was bloody from his injuries
and staggered In his walk. He had
barely escaped with tils life.
"My this time the school build
ing was a mass of smoldering ruins,
lire having dest royed what the cy
clone did not. The hallway of tlx
r.ehool house had caved In. and
what lew rescuers were on hand
were trying to uncover the bodies
of pupils and locate the two miss
ing teachers.
"I walked out beyond the school
grounds. livery tree left standing
and every fence had garments, bed
clothes and housdiold goods blown
against the west side of them. It
looked to me like the storm began
hi the west and traveled eastward.
I saw furniture, automobile tops
and clothing scattered everywhere,
und saw people fleeing from the
IT'S BIRD TIME.
When Pretoria erected n statue to the memory of John
Paul Krutrer, the widow insisted that the crown of his hai
be left open to collect rainwater for the birds, ArlisU
jprolessed themselves- contemptuous of this nenlihieutality,
(but tho widow's might prevailed, and the birds flutter
jabout the grim old figure and splash themselves happily
on his head.
J . Many La Grande yards and gardens have sonic soil
if drinking bowl to encourage the birds, and thousands
there are who look each spring for regular occupants of the
little bird-houses provided. Still others arc fortunate enough
lo have trees where nesting takes place each season. Few
but like the presence of birds in their garden and many
ure the devices to entice them to build within sight of
the home.
j The birds do not ask much; chiefly they 'wish to be
made welcome. It is usually the male who, lions., lowaid
the house by long-considered stages and, cocking his head
to one side, scrutinizes the abode and its inhabitants ii'
they are visible. I'.irds have a necessary instinct for tho
disposition of humans, and no careful lather is going t )
jeopardize his nestlings by lack of ordinary caution.
; (liven a welcome and tho birds ask little more. They
like accessible water and appreciate food, which, however,
they find anyway, lint the prettiest sight of all is th-
water bowl where all sorts and conditions of them congre
gate together, from the intrepid sparrow to the 'cocksure
robin. It more than repays for the trouble. 1

"The business section was prac
tlcally destroyed by fire and wind,!
and nearly every home was flat.
1 saw about 40 uutomobiles piled
up in one big pile, and thought
this was a garage that had been
struck.
"Then I saw another cur just
outside of town, and It looked like
the people were trying to get away,
but they failed. The car had been
blown from the road over to the
railroad right of way and wus
wrecked, but I could find no bod
ies. "I offered what help I could, and
II ley told me the bodies were first
taken south to rurhoudulc, hut
that the hospital was filled. Auto
mobiles were stretched along the
hard roads north and south of He
Soto for nearly three miles, a short
time after the tornado. The rite
departments of Dunuoln and Tar
bondale were sent to De Koto, but
they were unable to do Knything,
and the firemen pitched In to do
the rescue work. 1 could see them
digging the bodies out of the
schoolhouse and other buildings.
"I met two girls on the hard
road, on my way back to Tammar-,
oa. Their faces were bleeding and
their clothes were torn. One of
them said: "How did you get out?"
and the other answered, I climbed
out of the window. How did you
get out?'
" 'I don't know she answered.
They were wandering up the road
und seemed not to know where
they were going."
llurton added that Ihe town was
a mass of bodies, maimed resi
dents, debris and burning build
ings. "It seemed to me there was not
an entire house in the town," he
said.
"People were going out on the
hard road north and south, with a
few belongings clutched in their
arms, more for protection against
the storm than anything else."
