Three meet death in church.

Tornado Which Strikes Ohio Town Demolishes Church, the Steeple Crashing Through the Roof.

Zanesville, O., --- Three were killed and a score injured Sunday when a tornado struck here, toppling the steeple of the St. Thomas Catholic church through the roof while services were being held.

The storm started in the western part of the city. It lost its force apparently after traveling twenty five miles east of here and toppling over numerous barns.

More than 500 houses were badly damaged and fifty families were rendered homeless. Scores of narrow escapes were reported, more than a dozen instances being known of chimneys crashing through the roofs of houses and walls blowing down almost immediately after the occupants had left.
