DISASTER IN US No Peace
Heavy Death Toll &
Much
Destruction
MORE THAN 1000 INJURED
Flint, Michigan, June 9.
Six death-dealing tornadoes slammed South Michigan and Northern Ohio last night, killing at least 143 persons and injuring more than 1,000 in one of the worst wind storm disasters in recorded American history.
The twisters, funnelling down out of humid evening skies, hit with- out warning in almost every case.
Shortly after 1 p.m. today, the State Police in Michigan and Ohio issued a tentative "final" count of 143 dead, making the storm the fifth most deadly in history.
The job of digging through the rubble continued, however, and there was a possibility of still more victims.
Some of the dead wore babies torn from their mothers' arms and slammed to their death. Men, women and children were found huddled dead in base-
the open, tossed there like ments, cars, under tons of rubble or out in twigs.
