Southern Illinois today presented a.
vast tableau of death and destruc-

tents awaited more definite reports
on the toll of lives taken by yester-

completely isolated. definite reports
as to general loss of lite were leek-
ing. but estimates pieced the num-
ber well above the one thousand

amount of property damage also
lacked definite figures, but was sev-
eral millions dollars.
