TWENTY -FOUR DEAD
REVISED LIST OF VICTIMS OF
TORNADO AT MERIDIAN,

fOFty-SN persons Are More or Less
Injured-Property Loss One Million
and Quarter DolIars-Sunday a
Day OF Funerals.
Meridian, Miss, March 5.-Before
an army of determined men attacking
Meridian's storm-swept and debris
strewn streets the vast amount of
wreckage is giving away slowly, but
sure. The Sabbath following the dis
astrous storm OF Friday was a day Of
funerals. Merchants and residents of
Meridian had never protected them
selves with storm or cyclone insur-
ance, so insurance agents will have
little or no auditing beyond the fire
losses. A million and a quarter dol.
lars is thought to be conservative
estimate OF the damage wrought.
After leaving Meridian and enter.
ing Macon, a suburban town five miles
distant, all trace of the storm seems
to have disappeared. Little if any
damage is reported from the country.
The revised list of the dead and in
jured as the result of the tornado
shows total of twenty-four dead and
forty-six injured, a number of whom
are not expected to live. The num-
Der of destroyed residences is placed
at 500, practically all in the Lindsey
hill section of the east end and
GEORGETOWN.

every appearance on the streets. The
cordially of the greetings exchanged
between the king and President Fal-
Heres during his majesty's official
call at the Elysee palace was much re-
marked. The conversation between
the two lasted half an hour. Later

British embassy, where state dinner
was held, at which President Fall
Heres and Premier Rouvier, with their
wives, were among the guests. There
were no speeches during the dinner.
Afterwards King Edward, President

Prairie Fires Cause Loss of s1,ooo,ooo

Austin, Tex, March According
TO reports received here, prairie fires
that have been sweeping the extreme
western section of the Panhandle for
the past three days have entailed
loss up to the present time of upwards
of $1,O00,000. The fire did the most
damage in Lamb and Hockey coun-
ties, burning over many acres of land
and destroying hundreds of head of
cattle. Inasmuch as it will be six
weeks before the spring grass will
come forth, it has been found neces-
sary for all cattlemen in that section
to move their cattle into New Mexico
for range purposes, which means con-
siderable loss to them. 1t is esti-
mated that in the past three days 300,-
600 acres of land have been burned
over
