CYCLONE IN ARKANSAS.
Nine Dead to Far Reported-country Lnidl to Waste.

Little Rock, Ark, April S.-Specials from several towns in White and Clo- burn counties in Arkansas tell of a cy- clone which swept through that section of the state Tuesday night, leaving death and destruction in it's wake. The record of casualties so far is nine dead, three dying and thirteen others badly injured The towns of Little Red, AL bion, Bradford, Heber and Pangburn have been heard from so far.
 The dead: Jim Leggett, Little Red; Joe Leggett, Little Red; Tom King and wife, Little Red; three King children; young woman school teacher, who was boarding at Kings; A. c. Williams, near Heber.
 The injured: Infant child of the King family; Mrs. A. c. Williams, not ex- pected to live; Buck Medley, Searcy; Albert Killer, Ebert Derile and Wilker Pollard, Little Red; two of the Pollard family, near Albion; Mrs. Hoverton and children, Pangburn, not expected to live; Miss Barkhousen, Little Red, leg broken and skull fractured; Walter Fuller, Pangburn, leg broken; Mrs. Henry Wells, injured fatally; unknown woman, Pangburn, both legs broken; Tom Houston, near Heber, both arms broken; unknown man, at Bradford.
 The major portion of the country through which the storm ploughed it's way is remote from railroads, telegraph or telephone lines.
 A special correspondent telegraphed from Searcy, Ark, tonight that he had gone over portion of the track of the storm and that trees were twisted from their trunks and houses were demolish- ed, Thus far it has been impossible to ascertain where the storm began, but it is known that it ragged in those two counties and the list of casualties IS likely to be greater than is now known. Bradford which is on the Iron Noun tain road, was the first point heard from. Several houses were blown down there and one man was badly injured. The tornado came from the west and spent its force by the time it reached Bradford.
 It is feared the little town of Hiram, with a population of 150, has been wiped off the map. It is near Heber, and in the storms track. Nothing has thus far been heard from it. It probably will be several days before the names of all who were killed by the tornado will be known.
 A special from Heber says:
 In the tornado which swept across this section last night A. c. Williams, living ten miles south of Heber, was killed. He was seventy years old and lived with his wife on top of one of the mountains south of this town. His house was caught up by the wind and thrown down the mountain side, he be- ing killed. His wife is not expected to live. A white man named Houston, liv- ing near Williams, had both arms broken.
 At Pangburn six residences were blown down and a flock of sheep and a number of cattle, hogs and horses were killed. A large church near Pangburn was blown half a mile.
 At Little Red postoffice Albert Killer, Elbert Derile Walker Pollard, Mrs. Po- ard, and Tom King lost all their houses, barns and other buildings.
 Forty-three residences and sixteen barns destroyed and other wreckage is the record of the damage reported up to s o'clock tonight.
 The tornado swept everything in a path g. mile wide.
 At Pangburn Mrs. Hoverton and one child were badly hurt and are not ex- pected to live. Two of the Pollards, near Albion, were badly hurt. A number of others were hurt but not seriously.
