PERRY, o. T., June S.-The storm
which passed over eastern Oklahoma
last night, was one Of the most severe
since the opening Of the strip. A feat
ure of the storm was the extent of the
territory covered. Sweeping down from
the Kansas State line and covering
about fifty miles in width, the rain,
wind and hail swept over the country
as far south as Old Oklahoma. The
rain fell in torrents from early in the
evening until midnight. The fury of
the storm centered in a cyclone at about
$50 p. M, which formed at a point
near the Kansas State line and just on
the county lines of Kay and Grant,
Oklahoma. The twister took a south
easterly course and was disastrous in
an area of ten miles square in East
ern Kay county. The little town Of
Eddy was struck and of the II or Is
buildings in the place ali were leyeled
to the ground, except the railroad sta
ton and elevator. One unknown mar
was killed and several persons were
slightly injured by flying debris.
The track of the cyclone between
this point and Tonkawa, a distance of
about eight miles, was laid waste.
Five farm houses, with barns and out
buildings, were blown away, but all
the occupants escaped without injury.
Fine fields of wheat in the midst of
harvest were laid waste. The tail end
of the cyclone fell with terrible force
upon Tonkawa. Thirty dwellings and
business houses were scattered like
loose lumber. The citizens of the town
had been watching the advance of the
storm and had sought shelter in caves
and cellars. No fatalities were reported
at this point and only a Jew persons
received scratches, which is almost
miraculous, considering the .deyastd-
ton.
A few miles from this point the cy-
clone seemed to go up in the air and
the country below did nc. suffer much
from the storm. except by washouts
and a stiff wind, with the hail in spots,
which did some damage to fruit and
the wheat crop.
At Blackwell. a few miles north of
Tonkawa, F. H. Crawford, a carpenter,
was struck by lightning and instantly
killed.

sands of other women bravely went to the
race track Saturday afternoon in the
teeth of the coolest and most miserable
rain storm imaginable. All of the women
who faced the fendish weather to go to
the course were aware of the fact that the
stage lady had given up $1,I00 for the pr1vi-
lege of seeing the handicap, and they were
perfectly confident that she would never
have done this had she not been tipped
or with absolute certainty upon the win
ner of the great race. Hundreds of women
went to the track determined to find out
the name of the horse she played in the
handicap and to put their money upon her
selection. 1t was in vain that the husbands
