FOUR DEATHS DUE TO TORNADOES IN LOUISIANA
Corwley[sic], La., May 16.---Reports reached here tonight of four deaths today in tornadoes near this place.
The Dead.
HENRY YOUNG AND A CHILD of Thomas Young, Chartuigne.
TWO NEGROES, Placquemine Ridge.
About a dozen persons were injured but none fatally.
The tornadoes were small and in some cases their paths were scarcely more than the width of a house. Aside from these fatalities the tornadoes appear to have done little harm.
