 Heber, April 8.-A terrific cyclone passed over the southern portion of .Cleburne county and White county at .9:30 o'clock Tuesday night, leaving death and destruction in it's path, which was over mile wide.
 Forty three residences and sixteen barns destroyed and other damage is the record of the damage reported to 8 o'clock tonight.
 tlered on the banks of Red River, with not more than hundred popu- lation. Last night there was some kind of gathering at the home of Tom King, and among the guests were Jim and Joe Leggett, sons of one of the most prominent farmers of this county. King's wife and four chil- dren were at home, one of the num- Der being one- year old infant.
 With demon-like furry, the wind caught up this little dwelling and wrenched the timbers apart. The oc- cupants were caught under the falling walls and roof and their lives crushed out in an instant. This morning the bodies of King and his wife, three of their children and the two Leggett boys were found in that vicinity. The infant was found some distance away, alive but nearly frozen to death, and will probably die.
 A. 0. Williams, living ten miles south of here, was killed. He was 70 years of age 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 mountainside, he being killed. His wife was badly injured and is not ex- pected to live. A white man named Houston, living near Williams, bad both arms broken.
 At Pangburn, six residences were blown down and flock of sheep and a number of cattle, hogs and horses were killed. A church near there was blown half mile.
