MORE FOUND DEAD
One Hundred and Twenty

This is the Latest Estimate of Those
Killed BY the Tornado in
Snyder and Its ViCin-
lily.
(By the Associated Press.

Snyder, Okla, May 12.-All esti-
mates of the number killed by We'd
nesday nights tornado in Snyder and
its vicinity make the total at least
125 persons. The tornado travelled
thirty-five miles, cutting a path from
q quarter of a mile to a half mile
wide. The farm houses in This path
were demolished and the occupants
killed or injured. Estimates of the
number killed outside of Snyder
range from 25 to 40. More than one
hundred laborers brought by the ST
Louis and San Francisco Railroad
Company, together with big force
of volunteers, began moving and
burning debris today. Two men dead
and a man barely alive were found
in a heap of rubbish piled against
freight cars. They had been there
since Wednesday night at 8:15
o'clock, at which time every clock in
town stopped.
Statements that four hundred per-
sons were injured are correct, but
most of these suffered only slight
bruises. Forty-five persons are re-
ceiving hospital treatment. On ac-
count of lack of accommodations the
severely wounded are going to larger
towns.
At the ranch of e. L. Beckham,
president of the Denver, Enid and
Gulf Railroad Company six miles
west of Snyder, the tornado destroyed
SIS, 900 house and $4,000 barn.

A BURNING SHAME
Dogs Burial For Brave
Old Veteran.
The Remains Exhumed BY the People
Reused to Righteous Indignation
and Re-Interred With HOnOrS
Merited.

Especial to News and Observer
Rockingham, N. c., May Zone
day last week Alfred Maness, an old
Confederate veteran of Moore county,
was knocked off the trestle of the
Seaboard Air Line railway over the
island on the Arson side of Peedee
River and killed by a train. 1t was
learned here yesterday that the
coroner of Arson county, after hold
ing an inquest over the remains, had
buried his mangled body on the island
in the river, where he had been Kill
ed, without even the decency of pro-
viding a coffin.
The report aroused storm of In
dignation among the Confederate
veterans here, and in fact among all
who heard il. A purse was imme-
diately raised for the purpose of re-
moving the body to Rockingham and
giving it a decent burial.
This morning eXSheriff Wright
headed an expedition to the island
to exhume the remains.
They were found on the island 50
near the water that a slight rise of
the river would have covered the
grave. The body was in a rough box,
similar to the sort fruit trees are
SnlDDeI III, anu the DOA was CONCAC0
with only about ten inches of earth.
The remains were rowed across the
river to the Richmond side in a
bateau, the old torn and tattered
clothes were removed and replaced
by clean white sheets: The body
was then taken in charge by II. G..
Watson. funeral director, and brought
to this town. The burial took place
in East Side Cemetery this afternoon,
being attended by Mayor Averett and
number of others. Ex-Sheriff
Wright conducted the services.
A tombstone will be erected over
the grave, where the old soldier rests
and will, while doing honor to the
memory of one who fought in de-
Tense of the Lost Cause, remind the
few of mis- comrades who are left
that in Richmond county they are
still hOnored.

(By the Associated Press.)

Norfolk, Va, May Thames M.
Barr, president of the Seaboard Air
Line. made the following statement to
the Associated Press tonight:
There is not a word of truth in the
report that the offices of the Seaboard
Air Line will be moved from Ports
mouth No Offices will be occupied by
the road in Norfolk.
Regarding the report that a. large
coaling station will be established at
Southport, N c., some of it is correct
and some parts of it are incorrect.
The Seaboard Air Line has not pur-
chased any coal lands. Such property
has been purchased in southwest Viz
ginia. and northern Tennessee, but 1t
was bought by Messrs. Ryan, Blair,
Dennis. Green and Coolidge, who are.
however, interested in the Seaboard.
This announcement by Mr.. Barr
means that the Sea board will soon en-
ter into active competition with the
Norfolk & Western and Chesapeake q
Ohio systems as a carrier. It's coal
terminals will not be here because the
property Of the line on the water front
is too far in from the outer harbor To
comDete with Lambert's oPint ship
ments by the Norfolk. q Western or
Newport News shipments by tn :
Chesapeake Il Ohio, aside from the
fact the road would be compelled to
haul the coal too great a distance to
allow competition.
1t is pointed out that to bring the
coal to Portsmouth or Norfolk would
require All additional hauling. of 1oO
miles over the route to Wilmington
and Southport and it is declared that
all idea of building great coal terml-
mails at Portsmouth or In this city have
for this reason alone been given up.
The question of there being bat
twenty-one feet Of water at Whining
ton and Southport, while there is
twenty-eight feet of water here, is {;
matter which it is declared, will take
care of itself i'll the future.
A branch road from the new coal
fields through to Johnson City, Tenn,
will be completed within q year and
then the Seaboard's coal operations
will We over this branch. which COM
ing from Johnson City to connect with
