mole Agency that very destructive and violent
hurricane passed the region of San Bois in the
Choctaw nation, Tuesday, the Goth instant, de-
stroying in it's course large quantity of timber.
How far the hurricane extended he did not learn.
We heard ofone being very destructive in the neigh
borhood OF ShOal Creek, on the Arkansas river Its
general course appeared to be from southwest TO
northeast The tornado appeared to rise south OF
northeast direction, between Little and Big
Shoal crceks-extending in width about one mile
or from Little Shoal creek to MIR. Thompson's on
the military road.
The greatest damage that any portion of the dis
trict received that he has heard from is the plan
taton of Mr.. Cravens, at the crossing of Little
Shoal creek. The fences, orchard, &C., were
blown to the ground. The dwelling house a
small -frame building-s situate north and south;
the chimney, which ia stone, at the north end; the
tornado striking the house at the southwest corner
'QAIr h.
east. No lives were lost, we understand, on the
premises. The timber was mostly broken Off some
fifteen or twenty feet high, the ground being too
dry at the time for the trees to be thrown out by
the roots

through the same region OF country, that house
was blown down in the storm, in which were three
children. the parents being from home at the time,
of whom received any injury. We presume
that it will be found, other parts of the
country are heard from through which the tornado
passed, that great deal Of damage has been done.
