OKLAHOMA CYCLONE CAUSES
AWFUL HAVOC.
Entire Town of Snyder Reported to
Have Been Swept Away by Furious
Tornado Death List May Reach 100
or More.

Approximately 500 persons were kill
ed or injured by a tornado which
struck the town of Snyder at IL O'Clock
Wednesday night. The first news of
the disaster was received at Hobart.
o. T., by telephone giving a bald state
ment of the tornado having struck the
town. The wires, both telegraphic and
telephone, were down and no further
news could be obtained directly from
Snyder.
1t is reported that bodies are scat
tered all over the streets and surround
ing country. The storm struck the town
from the southwest. travelling north
until about 100 yards from the Okla
homa City and Western railway track.
Then it took a northeasterly course
through the business portion of the
town. North of the track not build
ing was left standing.
Snyder was credited with $500 in
habitants, in Kiowa county, Oklahoma,
In the Kiowa and Comanche Indian
country, opened to white settlement in
1901. The town was laid out largely
by the st. Louis and San Francisco
railway at the junction of two of its
lines, and the company erected impor-
tant buildings there. snyder is the
divisional point for the Ouanah diyis-
ion of the road. The town was named
after Bryan Snyder, passenger traffic
manager of the system.
News was received in Guthrie from
the Frisco station agent at Mountain
Park, Kiowa county, a neighboring
town OF Snyder, to the effect that the
town is reported to be only partially
destroyed, but that the list of dead
will total something between one and
two hundred.
This agent, whose name could not be
learned, made personal visit to Sny-
der, where he observed the details of
the calamity. Rumors to the effect
that other towns in southwestern Okla
homa were destroyed were declared by
the telephone exchanges to be incor-
rect.
The news Of the terrible disaster
came in meager bulletins from Hobart
and Anadarko. Snyder is practically
wiped out. The Frisco Railroad sent
a relief train from Chickasha to Sny-
der, with all the doctors and nurses
that could be found, to render what
ever aid possible.
The storm broke over the town at II
o'clock at night, completely demolish-
ing it, as near as reports can be OBJ
tanned. One Of the killed was ]. NJ.
Egan, agent of the Frisco at Snyder.
He was formerly superintendent of tel
egraph for the Frisco system, and was
one of the best-known telegraphers in
the West. Snyder is a town of 1000
people in KiOwa County, on the 'Fris-
co Railroad, and came into existence
about three years ago.

Receives a Hearty Welcome in Strike
Bound City.

President Roosevelt arrived in Chicago
at noon Wednesday. A hearty welcome
was extended him as he stepped off the
presidential train at the Northwestern
station, fresh from his extended hunting
trip in the West. Gov. Deneen, Mayor
Dunno, delegations from the Merchants,
the Hamilton and the Iroquois clubs, a
committee of Aldermen and other city
officials extended a greeting. Admission
to the railway station, where the presi-
dental train pulled up, was by card only,
yet those authorized to be present al
most crowded the place.
President Roosevelt shook hands with
Gov. Deneen and those who met him at
the train steps. Immediately the visitor
was escorted to & carriage to be taken
to the Auditorium Annex, where a suite
of rooms had been provided for the Presi-
dents party.
The President was a guest in the city
for twelve and a half hours. In almost
all of that time he was entertained at
some function. Thousands of people were
prevented from crowding into the station
by strong police guard. Long before
