markable Escapes.
DEL RIO. TEX, May 2.
A cyclone from the west struck this towns
Wednesday evening between six and
seven o'clock. The approach of the storm
was heraided by an immense semi-circles
Of copper-colored clouds and . deep sui
len boom. The approach of the storm
was so rapid that no precautions could
be taken, and the town being composed
mainly of light wooden buildings would,
have suffered severely had the
vortex struck it. The air was heavy
close and sulphurous, and the
lightning was incessant. The streets
were flied with men, women and children
and they were tossed and turned In all
directions. The new Episcopal Church,
the Southern Pacific saloon and num-
Der of small cabins were completely
swept away Many, other buildings were
twisted out of shape. There were FIVE.
persons severely injured, and one.
Charles Setback, killed. Many remark
able escapes are recorded. The full
fury of the wind may be imagined when
1t is stated that heavy train OF thirty
eight stock cars was rushed down the
track at lightning speed, although the.
brakes were on, and two were blown.
clear off the track. The northern portion
of the town, which suffered most, pre-
SCENTS terrible appearance. Bishop FL
lott, of the Episcopal Church, arrived,
last night to dedicate the sanctuary. but.
found 1t in ruins. The total loss to the.
town Is $4,000.
