St. Joseph, Mo., June 3. - Reports have been received here of great damage done by a tornado which tore across a section of DeKalb county, Mo., causing the loss of four Uves. The dead are the wife and three children of Calvin Smith living eight miles northwest of Maysville. Their house was destroyed and every one of its occupants killed. In the vicinity of Maysville and Union Star the tornado destroyed the houses of at least twenty farmers, uprooted valuable orchards and damaged growing crops. The property loss has been estimated at fully $150,000. Isaac Henry and his family of four, living near Union Star, were all painfully hurt and many others were more or less seriouslv injured, but no one fatally.
