FRANKFORT, KAs., May 17.-At 5
O'Clock this evening a terrific cyclone
swept down upon the town of Frank
fort from the southwest. Everything
in the north and west ends of the
town was completely wrecked. Prob
ably threescore of buildings we're
RACED to the ground. Some of the
best residences of the town were
blown to atoms. Reports coming in
from the country, where heavy dam
age has been done, will materially
swell the loss. Many r reported
painfully injured, but SO far as known
no one has been killed. Many head
of horses, cattle and other stock, have
been killed. The Methodist and Chris
tian churches were demolished and
the Presbyterian church was badly
wrecked. Scores of people who are

night in public halls and in the homes
of more fortunate citizens.

BURYING sHERMAN's DEAD.
Scores of Bodies of Tornado Victims
Laid In the Grave Seventy-eight
Dead and Many Injured.

SHERMAN, TEX, May 16. - When
night fell this evening the list of the
dead victims of yesterdays terrible
tornado included seventy eight names
in this place, while reports had come
in of twenty-five more deaths within
q few miles of town. OF the injured,
who number 125 in and about the city,
at least a fourth have been given up
by the physicians as beyond hope.
All day searching parties have been
dragging Post Oak creek and remov-
ing the debris in the path of the storm
IN the search for bodies of those re-
ported missing, but most of these have
now been accounted for, and it is be-
lieved that the death list in this i'm
mediate vicinity at present does not
exceed 100, though by tomorrow
morning it will undoubtedly be mater
tally increased by the passing away of
several of the most desperately injur-
| ed.
During the day several of the injur-
| ed succumbed and every few minutes
during the morning q wagon would
arrive at one of the extemporized
morgues with a bleeding and mangled
iifeless, or almost lifeless, body. .
BURYING THE MANY VICTIMS.
Hearses were entirely inadequate to
supply the demands and large floats
containing four or five corpses have
been passing back and forth from the
undertaking establishments to the city
cemetery all afternoon.
Early this morning nearly q hundred
| young men went to the city cemetery
to prepare graves for their relatives,
friends or neighbors, who were VIC
this afternoon more than three score
new graves were ready to receive the
bodies of the dead, while in every di-
rection pathetic scenes were of con-
slant occurrence.
Every NacaT. building has been con-
verted into a hospital. The Moore
building, on the south side of the
square, contains about sixty injured
people, a number of whom will likely
die. Colored and white people stand
side by side administering to the wants
of the dying, never noticing the color
of those upon whom they are waiting.
L. II. Montgomery, n leading furni-
lure dealer of this city, is crazed over
his terrible loss. This afternoon his
entire family, consisting of wife and
three little daughters, were laid to
rest, and his grief rs he realized the
final fate of his family was too pathet-
ic for words.
| THE WRECKED SECTION DESOLATE.
The path of the tornado through
the city presents a terrible picture.
| Handsome houses and humble homes,
in which yesterday were peace, COM
fort and happiness, are now in total
ruins. In most instances some mem
Der of the family remains to mourn
the loss of their loved ones.
Words of sympathy and offers OF
assistance have been received from
almost every town in the state, but
the city officials have refused all fl
nancialaid except from cities and towns
in Grayson county. Nearly every cit
izen of Sherman has contributed
something in the way of wearing APP
parel or bed clothing and merchants
are giving freely of their stock of eat
ahles. The city has been crowded to-
day with strangers, some coming
through curiosity, but most to learn OF
the death or safety of some relative.
