Red Cross officials believed the death toll might grow and estimated that more than 100 persons were in | jured, some of them fatally. | The low pressure area centered over Cross, Jackson, Izard, Lawrence and Green counties, concentrating its fury at the towns of Alicia, Swifton, J Lorado, Parkin, Cuion, Batesvill* and Wynne, where buildings were I clawed down or lifted hundreds of feet with whole families and dashed to the earth.
