mile long was swept. The damage
was heavy. Dead and dying animals
are mixed with the debris that marks
the path of the storm. The injured are
being cared for this. morning by ply

in other portions of the state, but so

tonic and demolished property to the
extent of $4,000 and injured several
persons. but none seriously. Austin
