TAKING MANY LIVES

wind torn clouds. .
With rescuers working through
the night, it is probable that the
death list will run well over 50
while the estimate of the injured
ran 300 or more.
. The west side, a section of
boulevards, trees and houses of
moderately wealthy St. Louisans
lay covered with a blanket of up
rooted trees, torn timber and
bricks out of which crept injured
men, women and children, black
and grimy as though emerging
from a coal mine.
An estimate of 2.500 homes
were either wrecked or damaged !
while the streets and boulevards
were clogged with fallen tele
phone poles and hundreds of the
-ify's most beautiful trees. Trol
ey wires torn from their snp
norts. spat blue flames as they
net the car tracks and the shouts
of policemen kept terrified people
from Injury or death, from the
live wires.
With telephone service de
moralized, it took the city several
minutes to learn what had hap-
oened. The news of the tornado
was flashed over the city by ra
dio and mothers in parts of the
city unvlsite'd by the storm were
in terror as they awaited word
from the schools in the tornado
iistrict.
The twister was accompanied
y a terrific rain which added to
the desolation.- 'Houses and fac
tories : were crumpled in many
places like toys.
The first flashes that reached
fire and- police headquarters set
up a general mqblvrzation of every
available policeman and fireman.
The storm area was quickly block
ed against the curious by a hasti
ly formed cordon. Behind the
sordon were hastily organized
units of relief and men began dig
ging into the heaps of stone and
brick to look for persons they be-r
lieved were buried.
Along Maryland avenue. Lin-
dell boulevard, Kings highway,
Westminster place, MePherson-
street and' other stately traffle
waya' in the pride of the city's
home section, there were gaping
holes in walls! a fallen forest of
trees, while along the curbs were

Workers Respond
Besjde llie wrecked structures
stood groups of individuals, some
dazed, others cry'ug for help.
Willing workers responded and
here and there elderly women and
men were helped from their
homes.
Then came the wailing of fire
and police pirens as they sped to
the scene where three unidentified
women were killed, two of whom
were burned to death in one oX

catastrophe.
Fvery available policeman was
brought to 4he area and Police
Chief (Jerk immediately issued on
order to "shoof all looters," end
ing with the prim admonition to
"make coroner's cases of them."
As iho nrencies of rescue and
succor were petting into motion,
the city was again enveloped by
a weird greenish light which sent
terror to the hearts of the storm
sufferers. This shortly turned to
a pinkish hue and torrents of
rain ushered in the darkness
which was unrelieved by the
thousands of street lamps which
were broken and useless.

Half the village of Rudy, a pros

fury of a tornado that dipped
down upon it today, smashing
everything in its path and injur

tally. Of the 35 homes and business
houses that sheltered Rudy's 150
residents, only the Frisco railway

Dog Carries Bloodstained
Glove to Save His Master
BENP, Sept. 29
( AP) -The
story of the faithful service of a
dog which, by carrying a blood
stained glove to a sheep camp
three miles distant and by leading
a searcher back Into the hills,
probably saved the life of ; its
master, was told here today when
Patrick Welch, camp tender, was
brought to a local hospital, ser
iously wounded by the accidental
discharge of his rifle. Welch, em-
employed by Steve Connolly, of
Mitchell county, left his camp in
the Lookout mountain urea of the
Oehoco forest yesterday on a hunt.
He shot a badger and when pok
ing the animal with the butt of
his rifle, the gun was accidental
ly discharged. The bullet ranged
upward through Welch's hip.
Unable to walk, Welch tied the
glove, covered with his own blood,
to the dog's neck. The dog im
mediately went to camp, but the
sheep herder was unable to leave
his flock in the storm. No aid
could be sent into the hills until
Leach, employed on an adjoin
ing sheep range, reached the Con
nolly camp. The dog showed the
way to its wounded master.
Welch, tied on a saddle horse.
was brought out of the storm
swept hills 12 hours after he was
shot. Leach, at 3 o'clock this
morning, found the hunting camp
