4 Terrific TEXAS TORNADO.
Hundreds Killed and Injured by the Winds
Awful Work,
Sherman, Tex, the Scene of DesolatiOn-
Many Dwellings and Much Property
Destroyed by the Cyclone.

SHERMAN, Tex, May 15.-Just few
minutes before five o'clock this after
noon, tornado. not exceeding two
blocks in width, but carrying wide
spread destruction and death in its
wake swept through the western part
of the city, travelling almost directly
north. The approach of the terrific
whirlwind was announced by deep
rumbling noise not unlike reverberat-
ing thunder. A fierce and driving rain
accompanied it. Late tonight it is re-
ported that 40 people have been killed
south of town in addition to the city's
death list. Wagons are unloading the
dead and injured every moment.
The storm struck Sherman without
warning on the southwest corner of
the city and cleared a path 100 yards
wide along the west end of the town.
Houses, trees, fences, and everything
went before the terrible force of the
cyclone. The negro part of the town
suffered the most severely. There are
probably 30 negroes killed. Ten bodies
have been picked up in Post Oak creek.
The food Of rain which attended the
storm was severe. The town is a mass
Of mud and floating debris.
The number of persons wounded will
reach not less than 100 and it will be
several days before the exact number
fatalities can be given as many per-
sons, and especially children are miss
ing and many of the injured are in
such critical shape that a score may
die before morning.
SHERMAN, Tex. May 16.-To-day the
waters in the creeks and brooks have
subsidized and thousands of spectators
have traversed the path of yesterdays
tornado. Every business house in the
city except the drug stores and eating
houses suspended business at an early
hour this morning at the request of the
city council, and the attention of every
body has been turned toward caring
for the wounded and the dead, the
number of which is hourly increasing
from deaths in the hospitals and bodies
found in the subsiding streams.
The eity's street grading force supple
mented by large number Of men have
been transferred by Street Commits
siOner Moorebead to the cemeteries
and have been busily engaged in pre-
pairing graves for the victims of the
storm. Thenndertsking establishments
srs being taxed to the limit.
A word picture cannot approximate
or portray the terrible aspect Of the
pathway torn through the city. Great
oak trees and stately elms, of a cen
tury's growth, are torn up by the roots,
and twisted of like reeds. The rem
nsnts Of once beautiful homes are scat
tered and blown in eli directions.
Everywhere the commons are covered
With debris. Hundreds Of animals are
