ordinarily the effects of the approach
of the vacation period. Optimism as
to the fall trade outlook is the main
subject of notice, but it is to be noted
that good recorders for summer fabrics

kets. Relatively the best reports come
from the central West and Southwest.

SIXTY DIE IN TORNADO.
Northern Border of Texas Smitten with
Dealing Windstorm.

Death Dealing Windstorm.
Three towns in Montague county
Montague, Nacona and Salt Greek, Texas
were practically wiped out by a cy-
clone which swept through them Wed.
nesday afternoon. Three other villages
Gainesville, Belcher and Dixie-were
dead, it is estimated, will aggregate near
ly sixty. The injured will total nearly
twice that number. The whole northern
hf of the county was RACED by the
storm and the property loss is immense.
Fortunately the tornado missed most
of the small towns in the section through
which it swept, but it took in the homes
of many farmers AMI stock raisers. At
Jacksboro the force of the wind was
terrific. The Baptist church and twenty
other buildings were blown off their foun-
dations and a number of buildings totally
destroyed. Baptist and Methodist
churches at Belcher were considerably
damaged. Dixie school house was entire
~ blown away.
The cyclone formed in the Texas Pan
handle and struck Montague county, COM
ing from the west. At Montague the
court house, Jail and about dozen other
buildings were partly or entirely wreck
ed. The tornado lasted thirty minutes.
Hundreds of head of stock were killed
outright by the wind. General destruc-
ton was wrought through Salt Greek val
ley. The cyclone created so pronounced
a drop in the mercury that overcoats
were needed at night as far south as
Dallas, 100 miles away.
Owing to the widely separated homes
and the fact that in many instances
whole families were wiped out details
have been hard to get.
