LATER FIGURES.
The Number of the Dead May far Ex-
 ceed 100.

Guthrie, O. T., May 1.-The latest official reports from the tornado stricken town of Snyder. O. T., place the list of the dead at ninety-five. Other rumors advance this figure to 100. It is highly probable that the death list when accurately tabulated will reach 132, although the most con servative estimates place it at 100. Of those injured there are various reports reaching from 100 to 150.
 It is utterly impossible to arrive at any definite idea of the property loss. Considering the fact that not a sin gle building in the whole town of Snyder was left undamaged, and the additional fact of great damage to live stock, fruit and crops, it is very prob able that the total harm done by the storm will reach e. high figure.
 The storm formed near the Texas line and it's path extends in a north easterly direction for over forty miles. causing damage at Altus. Olustee and other small towns and in the country as well as at Snyder. Reports indicate that the casualties outside of Snyder will aggregate over twenty-five and may go higher.
 At Snyder, lack of means to bury the dead is Q cause of serious incon- venience. There is plenty Of medical attention. however financial aid being needed must.
 i Governor T. E. Ferguson today issu- l ed a request upon the mayors of var i ious Oklahoma places, heads of charit able organizations and pastors of i churches to collect funds for the as | sistance of the sufferers, there being nl statutory means for the appropriation of money for calamities similar to the one at Snyder. A number of cities 1 have responded and assistance is be- ] ing rendered as fast as practicable Governor Ferguson has ordered the
 signal corps of the national guard tC proceed to Snyder from L.awton to aid
 in the rescue work.
 Secretary Charles Cunningham, ci
 the Scottish Rite bodies of Oklahoma
 and Indian Territory has announced
 that there is on hand and immediately available for the purposes of aid sev-
 eraI hundred dollars in the treasury o1 l that order.

The manager of the exchange was fla tally injured, and one of the two fe- male operators was killed. The other took refuge in the telephone booth, which was blown into a field without seriously injuring it's occupant.
 Two trains were started from Law ton today in addition to the regular train from that place to Snyder. Two hundred people have left Lawton for Snyder to render any assistance pOssi- ble The condition of the buildings at Snyder is also spoken of. It is said that not one building is left uninjured in the whole town. Every building north cf the Frisco tracks is demOlish- the round house.
 The operator at LawtOn reports that man coming from Snyder reports that it is impossible to walk through the streets of the city without stepping upon the corpses of the dead. He re- ports that the morgues are overcrOwd- ed and that sanitary conditions are fast becoming uncomfortable.
 Newspaper men who have left Law
 ton for the scene of the disaster have as yet sent in no report from Snyder When the storm was seen coming, peo- pie rushed from their homes for the storm cellar, but most of these were caught before they reached places of
 safety. Flying debris injured many
 Most of those killed were carried down when their houses collapsed and they
 were pinioned in the timbers. As soon
 as daylight came and people could comprehend the possible extent of the | damage done, a mass meeting was helC
 and a relief organization was formed | Officers of # are E. P. Dunn, presi- ident; N c. Burnett, secretary, and J | L. Helena, treasurer, the latter tC
 whom all donations and relief supplie: should be sent.

RUIN WAS COMPLETE.

The havoc wrought by the tornado is complete Out of the town of 1000 people not more than a score of houses are intact, while two thirds of the buildings are totally wrecked.
 The storm formed south of Olustee, near the Texas line, and took a north easterly course through a well settled section. At 8 o'clock it was observed by the people of Snyder, but the usual funnel shaped formation was lacking and though the roar was plainly heard for some time before the storm broke, many were of the opinion that it was hail storm. Within a eew minutes the sky became suddenly dark and a terrific dOwnpour of rain began. last ing for several minutes, when it stop ped almost as suddenly as it had com menced. A few moments of Ominous calm followed and then the tornado struck. tearing buildings to pieces as though they were made of paper. Many people who had thOuht to take advantage of the calm to seek refuge in cellars were caught in the streets and between buildings where. some were lift ed high in the air and dashed to the ground as though hurled from cata- putt, while others were struck by flying debris and beaten almost beyond recog- milton. Those who remained in their 1 houses fared no better in the path of the tornado which swept across all ex- cepting few blocks in the southeast | ern corner Of the town. The frame
 structures collapsed like egg shells, i burying occupants under the debris, l killing, crushing and maiming.
 Six of the eight hotels were torn to i pieces. burying many in the wreckage. ! North of the railroad track, where
 many cottages stood, not ono is left i and the wreckage is mostly carried away. In 2 few moments, it was all
 oyer and the air was filled with the | shrieks of the injured, mingled with
 the cries of those who had escaped and
 were seeking lost ones. Within a short
 time messengers were dispatched to
 Mountain Park. two and one half miles
 away, where the news was sent by l telephone to Hobart.
 Physicians and nurses were called
 for and relief trains were made up at Mangum, Hobart, Chickasha and Law
 ton and hurried to the scSne working
 heroically all through the night amid
 the most heartreEding scenes. A build
 ing was utilized for a temporary hos
 pital and another as a mOrgue. The
 latter, a dry goods building presented
 a gruesome appearance when day
 dawned with the corpscs lying tier above tier on the shelves
 The search for the bodies continued during the day and at o'clock eighty
 had been recovered. Others are being
 searched fo~, which with the casual 1 ties reported from the country will
 probably raise the death list to 100.
 Several of the injured will be added to
 the list of fatalities. The most press l ing need is financial

THE AMERICAN STOCKMEN
The Further Organization of the New
 Live Stock Association.

Denver, May 11.-By resolutions adopted today the American Stock Growers association pledges itself ito work in harmony with all live stock associations, whether local, state or national"
 President J. F. Hagenbarth of the National Live Stock association sought to have the committee on resolutions report the resolution pIedging the American association ito hearty CO., operation in the work projected by the national association" This was op- posed by the Texas members of the committee, and a compromise was fin ally reached by striking out the name of the National Live Stock associa- ton and pledging the American asso- citation to work in harmony with all live stock organizations, local, state or national; ito bring about reforms so essential to the prosperity of agricul- tural and live stock interests"
 Resolutions were also adopted thanking President Roosevelt flor his fight for equal rights to all at the hands of railroads; declaring the present railroad law is inadequate land should be strengthened by giv- ing the interstate commerce commis- sion power to substitute just, fair and reasonable rates for those which it may find on investigation to be unjust or unreasonable; condemning private ear line systems controlled by pack CTS; asking the repeal of laws requir- ing the unloading of live stock in tran sit; opposing the tonnage system in the transportation of live stock and asking for minimum speed of twenty miles an hour for stock trains; and demanding that the senate of the United States shall cease obstructing the application of that great principle, reciprocity, which we regard as essen tial to extend our foreign markets for agricultural and live stock products. !"

FIRES ADDED HORROR.
Heart Sickenine Incidents oF the Awful Niqht at Snyder.


 Oklahoma Git, O. T., May 11.-A special to the Times from the Okla homian at Hobart says: To add to the general confusion and distress af- ter the tornado at Snyder had passed a fire broke out and burned up all of
 what remained of the buildings on one business block. So far it has not been possible to find out whether or not any bodies were cremated but it is highly possible that such is the case.
 One woman was picked up dead, having been pinned down by a scat ling, which entered her left eye and come out through the back of her head. Clarence Donovan and Miss Nina Fes- senden were to have been married last night, but had just postponed nuptials until this morning when the tornado struck. Both were instantly killed. Fred Crum. a boy of seventeen start
 ed to a cellar when a flying timber struck him and severed his head en- tirely from his body Debris was car ried to the northeast as far as Cooper town, twelve miles and it is reported that there are more fragments of homes ct that town and that vicinity than are in the tornado path at Sny- der.
 About seventy-five head of horses and cattle were killed on the townsite A committee was set to work this morning to remove the carcasses. The mayor of Snyder is having much trou- ble arranging for the burial of the dead. Confusion is growing owing to the fact that there still remains a number of unidentified bodies at the mOrgues. There is considerable suf- fering owing to the lack of provisions {
 main in the town are in bad condition and are insufficient for habitation be- sides there is not room enough to care for the homeless. Bedding and wearing apparel are both lacking and despite the effort to succor the unfortunates they are still in bad condition. Many of the wounded could not be cared for or given medical aid until o'clock this morning and by that time their wounds were in bad condition.
 pr. York of this city who was active in relieving the suffering says that | twenty per cent of the injured will die. The total number of wounded is now estimated at 150. The number of | bodies recovered up to date is eighty 1 five. Several are yet missing and it is certain that before another day do- zen viii he added to the list A car Of provisions, supplies, bedding, etc.. was shipped from here this evening, and a large crowd went down on the
 evening train to assist the distressed.
