Wamego, Kan., April 25 – A small tornado passed over a part of Wabaunsee county, eight miles southeast of here, last night. Henry Miller’s 8-year-old son was killed, while Miller and his wife were perhaps fatally hurt. They live three miles north of McFarland. Their home, one of the best of many German farm houses in that valley, was completely demolished, while the other buildings on the place were untouched. The Chanute Times, Chanute, Kansas.
