STORM WRECKS HOMES AND TREES AT MISHAWAKA, IND. Mishawaka. Ind.. March 28. (Sprci.il.) a terrific storm storm visited this city this iftrrnoon, doing great daniake to veidence property and truit trees, especially in the surrounding country districts, flail fell in great quantities, many of the stones bring as large as hen's eggs. Many windows were broken, high tension power wires, telephone wires, and telephone poles were blown to the ground, and several houses were demolished. As far as 'can be learned no lives were lost. The property loss will amount to many thousands of dollars.

IN DUNNING. Three dead, thirty-six injured that's the toll of the storm in Dunning, the-little area south of Irving Park bou'evard, which embraces Nora. Nottingham, Neva and Nordica avenues. It was there that the cyclone first swooped upon Chicago, leveling a doren houses, tearing the roofs off a score, breaking down trees, hurling autos into ditches, or tearing them into fragments. It came suddenly and without warning.

DOZEN HURT, 17 HOMES WRECKED IN NORWOOD PARK Nearly a dozen persons were injured and seventeen homes were severely damaged by the tornado in Norwood Park. It made a sweep of the homes along Higgins road, overturning the lighter ones, smashing the frame ones, and tearing off roofs and sides of the stone and brick buildings. One of the buildings destroyed was a brick school house, just in the course of completion. Five nurses and three doctors from the Municipal Tuberculosis sanitarium' were dispatched to the village by Charles J. Happel. head of the institution, to assist the relief work.

The Tornado TSfews in Today's Papers Demonstrates That You Must Have This Protection Neighboring Towns Have Been Devastated. Family Fortunes Have Been Wiped Out. Fire Insurance Does Not Cover This Loss. Little Warning and Wreckage Is Complete. And yet the cost is trivial compared with the Protection afforded Our Policies cover Tornado, Cyclone and Wind Storm Damage of any kind March, April and May are Cyclone Months Everybody who went through yesterday's storm must have wished they had insurance protection against the possibilities of destruction by wind. In Hammond, insurance companies will pay several dozen claims for property damage due to yesterday's storm. Put a wall of defense between your home today and dread destruction. Telephone us NOW and let us cover your property against windstorm and tornado.

Trains could "ot get through, for great tree trunk? Ly across the tracks. Cut one telegraph and telephone wire was working. The storm cut a path 200 yards wide through the town, tumbling all within its wake, modest cottage, pretentious home.

BECOMES DARK; WIND GROWS. A.:d then suddenly in the northwestern part cf Chicago it became dark', and the 1 T-1 . f t . . .

wind grew. 1 he rest ot the city was still sunlight and the warmth..

The wind grew and then came the cyclone; and hundreds were outside looking at houses dancing in the wind, and furniture skimming over the ground. And as they stood and stared came a torrential downpour, and fierce, hard hail.
