GREAT
Millions of Dollars Damage Done TO
Property,

Property.
Denison. Tex, May 16.-The cyclone
which passed. over Grayson and Denton
counties last night destroyed millions
of dollars worth of property and a con-
servative estimate places the number
killed at 200. Telegraphic communica-
ton is Interrupted and the extent of the
catastrophe is not fully known.
Fifty are known to nav been killed
in Sherman. and dead bodies are being
brought in from the surrounding coun-
try. The towns OF Howe, Pennington.
and Denton were swept by the cyclone
and several deaths are reported.
AT Justin, twelve houses We're demol-
ished and two persons killed. The path
OF the cyclone was not over $50 yards
wide. 1t travelled at least 100 miles be-
fore 1t spent Its force. The last work OF
the storm a at Reed River. where the
dwelling of John Dc"aut was demol-
ished and four members of the family
fatally injured.
The latest report from Howe is that
twelve persons were killed near there. 1t
is impossible to get a correct list OF all
the missing. Nearly every family in the
district has some members OF the fam
lily missing that they cannot account for.
Every hour increases the death roll.
Special trains are arriving in Sherman
from all sections of south Texas and the
donations are very liberal. II is re-
markable that the bodies from the
houses destroyed were all found $50 to
200 yards from the buildings in q con-
trary position to the direction the storm
was moving. That is, the bodies were
found towards the south, while the
storm moved northward. Telegraph
poles We're torn up and driven into the
ground. s

Death List May Reach 500.

are dead. A waterspout accompanied

their Banks. 1t is reported that several
objects. thought to be human bodies,
were seen in the water, but they could
not be reached. The officers are making
every preparation possible to dredge ali
the creeks In the vicinity.
The latest report is that the death rol,
may make 500. as dead bodies are liter.
ally scattered over the whole face of the
country. 1t is believed. however, thai
this estimate Is exaggerated. The sit.
uatton is bad enough as 1t Is.

Attracted Large Crowds-A Very Credita-
bic Entertainment.
The combined John Robinson and Frank
lin Bros. shows gave two exhibitions at
the Island Bridge Park yesterday, which
were witnessed by several thousand per
sons. including the usual number of
strangers from the rural districts. The
show is not to be compared, in point Of
size, with Forepaushs or Blrnum's. but
a very credtable tented exhibition is Civ
en-. The bareback riding is up to the
standard. The other usual features are
good, and there is n thrilling trapeZ act
which is alone worth the price of admis-
sion In the hippodrome races. the man
agement invites all the boys TO once run
around, the three finishing first securing
prizes in the shape of tickets to the COZ.
cert This was a laughable feature o.
both performances yesterday. In the af-
ternoon nearly 100 boys entered. In ,heir
oagerncss. they made half dozen false
starts. When they did get away they
had not gone more than ten yards when
half of them went down IN a heaH.
The parade in the morning was very
ordinary. The managerie Is small. and
the sidc-show has the usual attractions
found in such places. The Zig cent was
we'll filled at both performances in spite
of the threatening weather in the after
noon.
