Bandit Identified

The squad rushed the suspects |

back to Loy's restaurant where the man, six feet tall and weighing 200 pounds, was immediately identified as the bandit. It was 3:05 a. m. The customers wondered where the bandit's brown gabardine raincoat was, He had worn it when he staged the holdup. Patrolman Gleich had the answer to that. He had seen the woman attempt to shove it underneath the cab as the pair got out. He picked it up. In the pocket was $115 in cash, the bone-handled hunting knife the victims thought was a gun, a cigaret lighter and the wrist watch. The customers, elated at getting back their possessions, were William Mattox, 25, of 850 Eugene st.; Gene Marshal, 26, of 1630 Central ave,;

Leon Talever, 22, of 1411 W. 40th st.; Miss Dorethy Bellel, 20, and Miss Edith Nelson, 20, both of 1623 Central ave.

The storm barely had cleared the town, when she turned her home into a first aid station and ordered the injured taken there. No Funeral Parlor

Forty-three persons were given first aid treatment. Sixteen persons, one critically injured, were taken to nearby towns for hospitalization.

The dead were taken to nearby Grant City, where the Memorial hall served as a morgue, Worth itself has no funeral parlor.

Abouf 50 of the town’s people, left homeless by the tornado, slept on cots in the city hall at Grant City last night. Another 80 homeless persons were doubling up with “the folks whose homes suffered least damage. “We will rebuild quickly as possible,” said Mayor Starl Murdock, who was elected a few weeks ago. “I'm positive the town will not be abandoned.” Like Ghost Town Worth looked like a ghost town last night. There were no lights except for flashlights and the tiny glow furnished by a small generator brought in by the Red Cross. Rescue workers and many of the townspeople ate their meals at soup kitchens set up by the Red Cross. All of the ‘towrfs civic and business buildings were completely de-

Roy Farr, a resident, was on the street when the tornado struck.

Tornadic winds tugged at the door to one storm cellar. Mrs. W. A. Petzer said she and the six other persons huddled inside “feared we would all be sucked out of there.” The men struggling to hold the door shut began to tire. Suddenly a big timber fell across the outside of the door and held it | shut. | Mrs. Joe Wynn was too fright(ened to run to a storm cellar. She stayed in her house. When the storm had passed, she emerged trembling and “too scared to talk.” The storm had swept away the chimney and part of the roof. A

barn behind the house had vanished without a trace.
