Oxford. Mich. May S.-From reports
that continue to come in from adjacent
points the full force OF the fierce wind that
swept this part Of Oakland county Is be-
ginning to be appreciated. Everywhere il
devastation. Villages that were yesterday
the homes Of contcnted citizens are today
desoiate. Manned and bruised fathers,
mothers. brothers and sisters mourn for
those who met death In the twisting. grind
ing. resistless wind. The death roll In this
vicinity may run up to the 100 mark. At
oakwood. a hamlet fifty miles north OF Or
ford. having a population OF about 90. not
. house was left standing. The path Of
the storm was between one-half and three
quarters of mile wide. II extended In .
nearly straight course eastward over
thirty niiea- A remarkable circumstance
Is that buildings In close proximity to each
ether were blown in opposite directions,
some being swept northward and others
southwark.
