SHERMAN, Tex, May 16.-Sher-
man presented, indeed, sorrowful
aspect today. To the majority of
citizens the full horror of the
catastrophe of yesterday afternoon
was not known until today.
Early this morning the news
that the Moore building, the court
house, the City hall and the two
undertakers' establishments were
full of dying, dead and wounded,
and the report that the number OF
the dead would aggregate a hun
dred, spread over the city like wild
fire. Then every man, woman and
child dropped their work and
waited in the yards, on their home
galleries, OF on the streets for
further news from the hospitals.
Excitement was intensified by in
Vulnerable reports, some true, most
of them false, of new finds in the
field of the dead, Of fresh horrors
and more sickening details.
At the hospital all has been dohe
and is being done for the victims.
DIR. s. F. King is in charge. A
regular dispensary has been estab-
lished. Guards are around the
hospital buildings and none except
nurses, physicians, newspaper cor
respondents and friends are adj
mitted. The wounded males have
been separated from the wounded
females and he latter placed in an
other bulldog on the south side OF
There weH eight deaths this
morning and several other colored
people died today. The present
list of the dead numbers seventy
five.
The body of a white man, still
alive, was picked up on Gray's
Hill this morning. He was un-
conscious, and has not yet been
identified. He is badly wounded.
II he does not die it will be a mira
Gle.
Mrs. Alex. Pierce is expected to
die. Her death will make the
Pierce family record Of deaths from
the storm eight. One or two, first
thought to be very seriously
wounded, are getting better and
will be out in few days.
Eight deaths occurred last night,
four today, and it is estimated that
from five to ten will die tonight.
Many sickening details have
been added to the list. A lost child
of Luke Montgomery, was found
this morning with its head nearly
severed from the body and the
brains all out as il scooped out
with spoon. This completes the
determination OF his family.
Montgomery himself is insane
with grief and the doctors say may
never again have his reason.
Henry Cephus, colored boy,
was found fatally wounded, near
the site of the destroyed Houston
street bridge, today, full OF nails
from the bridge.
Two colored girls, unidentified,
were found in the creek bed, one
dead, the other nearly so.
Mrs. j. d. Shearer, wife of Rev.
J.D. Shearer, is dead. The Chris
tian preacher died last night.
Jim English, colored, died in
great agony early this morning.
Revised list of the dead and
wounded, made at 6 p. m. today, is
as follows:

cyclone swept everything before it

street was blown OH It's 1ounda-
ton.
George Longs residence, occupied
by Prof. Kohler, was blown down
and totally destroyed. The negro
cabins and stores near the Houston
street bridge were literally demol-
ished. The Houston street bridge
is a total wreck.
The cyclone, continuing in its
course north, demolished Mont
gomery's, Ames', Ely's and Capt.
Woods residences. f. HslselPs
house was carried away. The
property OF. J. d. Shearer and Cap
tain Bridge, on Fairview avenue,
is a total loss. All houses on either
side of the street north of theBridge
residence were blown away, except
the Mattingly place and w. j.
Dumas place.
j. B. Twins handsome residence
was totally demolished and the
small houses north Of this were
blown away. The old race track
buildings were taken by the cy-
clone. All houses for mile north
of Sherman are down.
Two thousand people from Deni-
son came over to view the desola-
ton and waste. The H. and
T. C. ran a free train from Denison,
which brought hundreds, includ-
ing the physicians in the city.
The night trains brought people
from all directions and the streets
were crowded all night. The
physicians worked all night as did
many of the ladies, who volun-
teered as nurses. The citizens Of
Sherman raised $1,000 for the re-
lief Of the distressed and the
Denison people raised $4,000 at a
mass meeting. The number Of
dead and wounded is so much great
er than at first estimated that the
citizens committee on relief de-
cided to issue the following call
to Texas cities:
To Texas Cities:-
The loss Of life and property by
the cyclone is much greater than
was supposed last night and the
number Of injured Is much larger.
The dead and wounded extend to
200 and loss Of property to over
$25O,O0O. Sherman is taking good
care of the wounded, but many
families have lost their all and are
left destitute. All contributions
will he thankfully received, as
they will help US give aid to those
who will have to begin life anew.

changed and the wounded are more
comfortable, except that their suf-
fering is a little abated. The
young ladies Of the North Texas
Female college are helping to
nurse the wounded.
This afternoon the funeral of
Mrs. l.. H. Montgomery and three
children, victims Of the storm,
took place, and was attended by
hundreds of people. Fifty graves
were dug on West Hill cemetery,
and there are orders for fifteen
more. Undertakers establishments
and the telegraph offices are over
run, and newspapers containing
reports are eagerly bought and
read by the immense crowds
which thronged the streets all day.
The city is full Of newspaper men.
Business houses are all closed.
Decoration day ceremonies have
been postponed. There will be no
more baseball till the Sherman
team have returned from the
southern Texas tour. A shave, a
pound steak, or a sack of flour was
utterly unohtainable in Sherman
today or tonight. 1t will take
several days for the excitement to
abate.

An eye witness of the storm de-
scribed it as follows: GAS the
storm approached near the city,
the noice became greater and more
unmistakable. 1t was q mighty
sound, not loud and shrill, but
deeper and vsster than words can
paint. People became wild with
alarm. Some Of them left their
stores and ran in all directions.
Others were 80 overcome with ter
ror and their own helplessness that
they stood still. Many men hur-
ried to their homes, fearing the
worst. The storm passed the city
in two or three minutes, the rain
ceased and the skies frightened.
1t was apparent that the cyclone
had passed near the city, but no
one knew how near"
A reporter went over the path OF
the storm today. TWAS a terrible
sight indeed. Many fine houses
were destroyed, and many promis-
ing fields and hundreds of cattle
and horses. The loss of property is
estimated at between $3.50, 900 and
$500, 600, but it is impossible to
give an accurate estimation OF the
dam age to property. The
