| cyclone passed over Wesson and the town
Of Beauregard, a mile above, about 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon. The wind
for the past three days has been blowing q
gale, and the lowering clouds indicated its
approach, which was known some min
| utes in advance by deep, rumbling sounds
and the windows in the dwellings shaking
violently. Many thought it was an earth
quake. The thunder and lightning were
terrific. Fences were torn down and trees
uprooted and cast hundreds Of yards away.
In the west portion Of the town the de-
struction was awful in its character. A
large number Of houses, in which opera
lives Of the Mississippi mills were domi-
ciled, we're blown down, and the dead and
wounded buried beneath the ruins. A
pine forest just beyond the town was
blown out Of existence. The work Of re-
moving the dead and extricating the
wounded from the ruins then began.
Calvin Reed, living in the vicinity, died
from excitement. The estimated number
killed is IL. Two or three children are
missing. There were Is or 20 dwellings
blown down. The number OF persons
with broken limbs is estimated by the
physicians at IS. The wounded were re-
moved as soon as possible to houses
the dead lay out in the violent
rain more than an hour after the storm.
The dead are now all laid out. and collins
are being made for them. Tn citizens are
doing all in their power for the wounded,
but many, it is feared, will die. A special
train with physicians from McComb City
and ~Brookbaven has arrived. Another
extra special will be here with additional
help from Magnolia and Summit. Some
Of the physicians will go to B~sauregard,
where the destruction Of life and property
is said TO be simply indescribable. Among
the killed in Wesson are Mrs. Causley and
| two children, and several children Of ]. E.
Gibson, one Of whom was found crushed
| under the chimney. Two OF the bodies
| were 30 mangled as to be unrecogniza-
not be obtained. A little boy was
found in the woods several hundred
yards away unhurt. Wesson, except
in the locality mentioned, suffered little,
except in the destruction Of fences and
| trees. The scene is appalling in Beaure-
gard. The town is literally . mass Of
| ruins, and it Is with difficulty one can ride
| through, so thickly are the trees and rub
bish strewn across the road. There is
nothing Of any character left standing in
the place. Timbers are scattered for miles
around, even out in the country for two or
three miles dwellings have been swept
away. The list Of dead and wounded 10
