Out to Aid in Rescue Work Many
Families Are Made Homeless
MURPHYSBORO, Ills., March 19. Southern Illinois
today presented a vast tableau of death and destruction
and its horror stricken inhabitants ' waited anxiously
more definite reports on the toll of lives taken by yes
terday's tornado which swept clear , across the central
southern part of the state. '
.With the stricken towns almose completely isolated,
definite reports as to loss of life were lacking, but esti- :
mates placed the number well above the 1000 mark,
with many more injured, some ot whom were dying. Ire
amount of the property damage also lacked definite
figures but was believed Ittt6 , have mounted to over- ,

the ruins for other dead. Rescue work was greatly ham

which was not destroyed. ;' ; :
Bert Scoby, an undertaker from Marion, Ills., ' who
came through West Frankfort, en route, here, estimated
that one undertaker there had sixty or seventy bodies '
