Appalling Storm and Fire Ravage Four States
Eye witnesses including editor W H Purcell of the West Frankfort American describe a cyclone that struck in seconds from a clear sky. The tornado buried roofs, toppled poles, and unleashed a cloudburst before fire followed. Miners and residents rushed into burning wreckage, many injured, some killed, as the city swarmed with救救 rescue efforts and funeral rites were held in Sherman. In the aftermath, families mourned while workers prepared to rebuild. An odd ad for Star Parasite Remover follows the tragedy.
