THE BABIES TAKEN AND THE MOTHERS LEFT

Peter Harris, on the next cot, wanted the attendants to let his folks, at 1205 Liberty street, Kansas City, know that he had not been killed. Peter's left arm and one rib were broken, and he was otherwise injured, but will probably recover. He worked for the Illinois Central, but was injured at his boarding house on the levee.

On the second floor of the hospital was Mrs. Horace Trump, whose pathetic story would turn the coldest heart. Mrs. Trump was at the bedside of a sick sister, with her year-old baby in her arm, her 4-year-old daughter being near her on the floor, when she saw the storm; but it was impossible for her to get out of the room, so sudden was its approach. The storm in all its fury struck the house and the flying missiles struck her, knocking down the walls of the building over her and her two daughters, killing the baby and 4-year-old daughter instantly. Mrs. Trump was considerably bruised and hurt internally, and it is as if by a miracle that she escaped the fate which befell the children. It was fully four hours before she was rescued from the position and taken to the hospital.

Miss Minnie Evans was brought in suffering with a broken leg.

Fred Weide, a railroad man, hurt in the tumbling walls of the Tremont house, suffering with a double fracture of the right ankle, a dislocated shoulder and several broken ribs. He was in the parlor of the hotel with several others, saw the storm coming and thought there was no danger; that the building was strong enough to withstand its fury, and made no attempt to escape. He was caught in the collapse.

Wm. Murray was very seriously injured internally, as well as suffering from a broken arm and broken limb, also a dislocated hip.

Mary Hanet was very seriously injured about the head, and also internally.

Joe Duffy, a clerk of the Vandalia Railroad, suffered intense pain from a very painful injury. Mr. Duffy had the whole right side crushed in.
