Houses and Bridges Blown Away and Oyer 100 Persons
 Killed and Injured.

SHERMAN, Tex, May 16.-Just q few minutes before ! o'clock yester- day afternoon a cyclone not exceed ing two blocks i'll width, but carry ing widespread destruction and death in its wake, swept through the western half of the city, travel ling almost directly north.
 The approach of the terrific whirl- wind was announced by q deep rumb- ling noise not unlike reveI brating thunder fierce and driving rain accompanied it.
 A reporter standing on the north side of the court piazza had his at tention called to the peculiar ap- pearance of the elounds. They were parted at the lower side, conyerging into ,t perfect funnel-shape, while a boiling, seething mass of vaporous clouds were rapidly revolving in the rift. The air was suddenly filled with trees and twigs and the down-poul' of ran brought with it deluge of mud. Then the truth dawned upon all that q cyclone was prevailing. From the point where it seems to have first descended to where it sud. denly arose from the ground just north of the city it left terrific marks of its passing, not house in it's pa thway escaping, not q. tree or shrub left standing, or that is not twisted and torn out of shape. Fences are gone, the iron bridges on Houston street are wrecked and blown away, notwithstanding the hundreds of thousands of pounds of stone and material
 The number ol persons wounded will reach not less than 100 and it will be several days before the exact number of fatalities can be given, as many persons arc missing. and many of the injured are ill such critical shape that a score may die,

first he had caused in that place. He had before s'pummeled a China man. for suffering his intolerable impositions, and only few weeks before the shooting last Friday, he caused row in the restaurant in the rear of Broekway's saloon and also the restaurant in the rear of Brannon's saloon for the same because he was refused credit when he had proven himself unworthy of it.
 Frank Howe, the young man shot in the Chinese restaurant Friday, had sufficiently recovered consciousness yesterday to make a statement which makes Goodes crime all the blacker and more b. .utal. If Howe's statement is true, Goode deliberately shot him without the shadow of excuse there for, and it makes the erstwhlle policeman and deputy constable guilty an attempted and very like ly successful cold -blooded murder.
 To a GRAPHIC reporter yesterday, Howe, whose condition is still critical and whose recovery is al mostimpossible, made the following statement of the lamentab'e affair. He said.
 T was seated at a table in the extreme rear of the room when Goode entered and took a seat. l could not hear distinctly all that passed between Quong Wah and tue officer, but gleaaed that the China man demanded payment in advance before he would serve the officer with dinner. Suddenly Goode arose and struck the Chinanan several times, whereupon Quong grabbed the officer about the waist, when the cook and another chinaman ar rived and pulled Quong aloose. Quong then grabbed pot eontain- ing ice tea and struck goode over the head, and then threw stool at him. but missed him. In the mean time Goode was feeling for his pistol, and the Chinamep were all backing away toward me. Seeing that shooting was likely to occur l arose and started out along the wall, but on seeing the pistol de- cided to stand still. Goode turned deliberately around from the China men and fired at me. felt 9 sting ing in my stomach and looked down and saw blood. l said to Goode: What did you shoot me for? I have done nothing to you. He replied, I thought you was a Chinaman, and continued firing 1

THE SCHOOL ELECTION.

 Directors.
Directors.

The election yesterday Saturday. for two school directors of the Pine Bluff School District, resulted in the reelection of Messrs. ]. ". Crawford and Mo. Hanf The five mill tax was voted by an al- most unanimous vote.
 In the afternoon the many friends of Mr. G. N Hart, without his knowledge or consent, however began to vote for him as one of the directors and as soon as this fact became rumored around town, the friends of the present directors who were candidates for reelection, rallied to their support, and, in consequence, one of the largest votes ever cast in a school election in this city was polled.
 The following is the vote by wards:

 Constable C. M Philpot returned yesterday and denies that during his absence Goode was acting as his deputy, and in relation thereto pre- pared the following statement for the local press:
 ''i regret the occurrence beyond expression. On last Saturday, in company with some of ny friends, we made up a fishing party to leave on Monday morning for Clear Lake, to be gone several days. There was nothing before the courts which de- manded my personal attention, and I took advantage of this opportuni- tv to take little diversion and rest. Because of the lull in business, my principal deputy, Mir. Creed Taylor. corelnded to go with us and remain day or two. 1 left the affairs of the office in charge of one deputy, Mr. l.. X. Treanor, in whom l felt that I could rely. Previous to this time 1 had had Wiley Goode as one of my regular deputies, but on ac- count of some trouble he had had, growing out of his excessive drink ing, I relieved him of those duties, and have never since then permitted him to act in any capacity, except on special occasions. where 1 would unexpectedly be called upon to serve some process dieected to me Ge- manding immeniate attention, and myself and other deputies would all be engaged. After 1 had relieved him I refused to reinstate him as my regular deputy, although had been requested by d strong petition of many of our good citizens to do so, believing that l knew him better than they did, and not being willing to trust him with general authority. On leaving for my fishing trip, 1 sta{ed to Mr. Treanor and also to MT. Goode that in the event Mr.
 Treanor should not be able to transact all the business placed Ill his hands, he was to cali on Mir. Gooda and have him attend to such matters as required immediate at +artian which he could not himself perform. | was compelled to do tbis. because l did not have time to annoint d deputy and have his ap- nointment approved and confirmed by the County Judge before leaving and because it is difficult to get q man who is inexperienced in this llne of work to perform the duties satls- factorilv. Goode had had consider able experience while he was actlhg far mo before. l did not intend, nor did he so understand ne, that ne was to perform any duties except Ill snacial cases where he was called mon to execute some paper that wos eiven to him specifically MT. Creed Taylor had returned the aay before this difficulty and assumed charge of the office, when Geoae 5 services were no longer needed, and he so understood it.
