DEAD IN SCORES.
Mangled and Bruised Victims of
Oyclono Still Being Found,
Over Seventy-Five Already Recovered
Almost Incredible Fury of
e. the Storm.

Sherman, Tex, May 16.-Thc death
list from the cyclone of Friday after
noon is rowing rapidly and at one
o'clock Saturday morning over rs bodies
had been found. Twenty-Five physi-
Clans from Sherman, Denison, White
wright, Howe and Van Alstyne are at
tending the wounded, and hundreds of
women are helping. The colored peo-
pie, having recovered from their first
fright, are working like Trojans.
The excitement cannot be abatcd, as
long as reports continue to come i'll as
they do. 1t is reported that 12 dead
bodies have been found in pile north
of town and there are no means of
bringing them here.
Many persons are missing ard entire
families cannot be found. 1t is be-
lieyed many negroes will be found in
Post Oak creek. Bodies are still be-
Ing brought in and will be during the
day.
Number of Dead Reported to Re 100.
If all reports are to be credited, the
number of dead would already reach
l50. The storm passed two miles from
Denison, and is thought to have broken
up beyond there. Telegraph and tele-
phone wires between here and Denison
ore down, and many other towns have
no connection.
1t is feared that the restoration of
telegraphic communication will bring
information of loss OF life and prop
erty In surrounding towns greater than
already estimated.
