the citizenS agreed to clean the ditch
and Rollins was overseeing the work.
PEBBLES decided he would help and
secured a hoe and worked with the
rest Of the crowd. Some time, about
an hour before they quit, PEBBLES
made a sug }eStion as to how he
thought the ditch should be dug and
asked Rollins to hand him the shovel.
Rollins did SO, PEBBLES showing Rollins
his ideas of how the ditch should be
dug. Rollins said that he would not
nave 1t that way and that it should
be finished az started. PEBBLES get
offended at Rollins for the manner In
which he spoke, and left without fur
ther words.
About IL o'clock Rollins started fol
bucket OF water at q well which he
and oil use out OF and was obliged tC
pass PEBBLES house. PEBBLES was on
his porch and Rollins stopped and tolt
PEBBLES he had come to tell him abou

SIXTY LIVES LOST.
BY A Tornado that Passed Over Texas
On Wednesday.
Many Churches, Schools and Dwell
ling Houses In the Track OF the
Tornado were Destroyed


A dispatch from Fort Worth, Texas,
says q 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 30 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 1T swept, but 1T seemed to take
fendish delight zigzagging in such
q way as 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 Off their
foundations and number Of build
ings totally destroyed.
at Montague no lives we're lost iu
the 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 ditficult to
get particulars. Ten persons are
known to be dead in that neighbor-
hood and uncontirmed reports are to
the effect that the list OF dead will 90
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 II 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 Belcher
were practically destroyed.
A reliable man at Nacona who has
been over the scene says that reports
were being received Of the dead when
ne left there. He places the loss Of
life at 60.
Owing to the widely separated
homes and the fact that IN many In
stances whole families were wiped
out, details and names are hard to
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 30 min
utes. Hundreds of head of stock in
hhis vicinity we're killed outright by
the wind.
During the storm lightning struck
q d house aud killed several persons who
were IN 10. Iu some places hail stones
fell as large as hens eggs.
