The twister, first- in southern Idahos history, left two men seriously injured, at least six houses destroyed, miles of power lines severed and hundreds of poultry and livestock killed. One house was lifted and torn to shreds by the wind, but no one occupied it. In another house, Mrs. Juan Uriona and her daughter escaped injury when the walls collapsed. A washing machine supported the wall and saved them from being crushed. The two men in the hospital were Charles Lang, census taker, and Alva Hine, a farmer to whom Lang was talking when the gale struck. Lang suffered bruises and head lacerations; Hine suffered broken bones and internal injuries. Census records in Lang's car were strewn for hundreds of feet and the car was tossed into a field. The tornado lasted only a few minutes. It struck shortly before 4 p. m., cut across an area two mile miles long and wide, and turned into the foothills. Bodies of pigs, cattle and poultry were being gathered together for disposal. The tornado picked up 500 turkeys from a flock at Wendell and killed all of them. A horse was shot after the force of the wind drove a piece of wood through its body. individual roundbaseball, ers, swimming, treasure hunt, relays and volley ball.
