Kansas Town Windswept
Larned, Kan., June 20. - - A tornado swept through the west part of the county and Rosell, a village 18 miles west of here, was struck and almost completely wiped out of existence, two grain elevators and every house in the place being swept away. A mile north, of Rosell the farmhouse of Edward Christian was unroofed and one side blown in. Three miles northeast barns and outhouses were demolished.
At Burdette not a building in town escaped uninjured while many houses were completely demolished. James M. Christian, a farmer, had his foot badly crushed and Ray Bindley was seriously injured by boards flying from a demolished house. At and near Jetmore the storm did considerable damage to buildings and crops.
