The Superior Express -

Waves driven by winds in excess of 80 miles per hour pummel the shore at Waconda Lake near Glen Elder, Wednesday afternoon, when unusually high winds plummeted the plains. The winds caused problems for electrical lines which in some places sparked fires which destroyed homes and burned thousands of acres in Kansas. The Kansas Livestock Association has set up a special fund to assist ranchers to lost cattle, homes, barns, fences and feed.
