KANSAS CITY, May 3.-All day yes
| terday and last night a destructive
storm ragged in Kansas and Oklahoma,
and to such an extent were the elements
disturbed that wire service was pros
trated over nearly the entire area af-
fected. There appeared to be several
storm centers, and these did much dam
age in widely separated locations. The
storm i'll Shawnee county killed a
farmer, James Mitchell, and wounded
three members of the family of Joseph
Help. the latter being fatally wounded.
For three miles along Mission creek not
a house was left standing.
Another storm in the western part of
the county killed John Paxton and tore
down several houses. Near Auburn a
storm carried away the house of James
Drake and took his fOurteen-year-old
daughter and lodged her in a treetop
unhurt. Drake and his wife were both
injured. IL. II. Buckeyes house was
completely destroyed and the Pleasant
Valley schoolhouse was
Torn TO Pieces.
At Cedar Junction seven cars of the
Santa Fe road were blown from the
track. At Tenape nearly every house
in the town was moved from its founda-
tons, some being badly wrecked. The
storms were all accompanied by hail
and much rain. In Oklahoma the storm
was i'll tile nature of a tornado. and
destroyed every house in its path. W.
Badwell and son George, who recently
came to the territory from York, Neb.,
were both killed. They had Just sent
for the family, and the latter were to
have stated from KingfiSher for the
farm this evening.
Near Mulhall several buildings were
unroofed and otherwise damaged, but
no one is reported killed from that
neighbOrhood. Much stock is reported
as killed along the path of the storm

that many deaths will be reported as
