DESTRUCTION FROM (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) was fatally injured when his home near Oakland collapsed. The absence of Elmore’s wife and oeven children probably saved their lives. Over Kansas, western Missouri I and vast prairie stretches <o the 1 west and south a pall of dust was I whipped by high winds. The storm was the worst since those of la.st i April. The high winds, however, seem«‘d to have served a double purpose in clearing the air after first filling it with dust. Today the skies were comparatively free of the fine silt and the weather bureau prediction for possible rains held the hopes of farmers who need moisture for their wheat. The snow fell in southeastern Colorado and western Kansas, i heart of the "dust bowl." In this ; area, where a moisture deficiency has existed for years, the heaviest ' snow of the year started falling ' late yesterday. The snow was 1 heavy and wet. and farmers believed it would be sufficient to settle the dust and wet down their fields. The dust has been threatening since Sunday when high winds began to whip across the dry fields. It reached full force yesterday afternoon when the reddish I pall settled over a wide area, shutting out the sun.
