SIXTY LIVES LOST.
By 4 Tornado that Passed Over Texas
On Wednesday.
Many Churches, Schools and Dwell.
ling Houses in the Track Of the
Tornado were Destroyed
Many Churches, Schools and Dwell.

A dispatch from Fort Worth, Texas,
says tornado which struck Texas In
the upper edge Of Montague county,
coming from the northeast, and
swinging far to the southeast, Wed
nesday afternoon, cost, it is believed,
over 40 lives, injured large number
Of people, and did untold damage to
growing crops and cattle.
Fortunately the tornado missed the
small towns in the section through
which it swept, but 1t seemed to take
a iendish delight zigzagging in such
a way az to take in the homes OF
many farmers and stockraisers in the
section.
At Jacksboro the force Of the wind
was terrific. The Baptist church and
20 other building were blown of their
foundations and a number OF build
ings totally destroyed.
At Montague no lives were lost In
vvhe town, but In the country there is
great loss Of life reported.
Owing to the fact that wires are
down in all directions it Is difficult tc
get particulars. Ten persons are
known tc ;oe dead in that neighbor-
hood and unconfrmed reports are tc
the effect that the list OF dead will &C
as high as 40. Most Of those killed
lived on Salt creek along which the
tornado swept with terrific fury.
At Nacona the tornado passed few
miles to the south and the latest re-
ports give the dead at IA and the in.
iured at Al.
Many farm houses were swept en-
tirely away. The Long Branch school
house was destroyed, and the Baptist
and Methodist churches at Belchel
were practically destroyed.
a reliable man at Nacona who has
been over the scene says that reports
were being received Of the dead when
be left there. he places the loss OF
life at 80.
Owing to the widely separated
homes and the fact that IN many in
stances whole families were wiped
out, details and names are hard tx
get.
The country through which the
tornado passed is one OF the richest
farming sections OF Texas, lying along
the northern border Of the State.
The tornado lasted perhaps 80 min
utes. Hundreds Of head Of stock ir
this vicinity we're killed outright by
the wind.
During the storm lightning STRUCK
a house and killed several persons who
were In it. In some places hail stones
fell as large as hens eggs.
