5000 ARE HOMELESS,
SESULT OF STORMS
TORNADO IN TEXAS CAUSES
GREAT DAMAGE
Swolen Rivers overrun Their Banks
and lnundate Towns-RalI-
road Tracks Washed
Away

BY Associated Press.
FORT WORTH, Texas, April 1S.-i
With telephone. telegraph and railroad
service almost completely suspended
for two hours last night this is the
center of the worst wind and rain
storm that has ragged over North
Texas in many years.
With two exceptions every railroad
out of this city was forced to annul
some trains owing to washed out tracks
and loss of bridges, and at midnight
the telephone companies reported nav
ing lost all wires out of Fort Worth.
Clayburn, twenty miles south, was
struck by a windstorm' of tornado
proportions, followed by a torrential
downpour Of rain that literally flooded
the city. Within twenty minutes after
the storm broke the two bayous that
run through Clayburn had left their
banks, flooding five or six hundred
houses.
A circus whose tents were pitched in
the western portion of Clayburn was
completely wrecked. Two lions escaped
and prowled about town for an hour,
throwing the people into panic.
At Fort Worth the Trinity river be-
gan to rise again at midnight and
every available man from the police
force was hurried out to warn the peo-
pie living in the bottoms.
At least 5000 persons have been rem
dered homeless and ali streams are
still rising. Railroad service is badly
crippled. Five hundred delegates to
the state labor convention are weather.
bound here. A cloudburst in Parker
and Palo Pinto counties last night will
probably send the Brazos and Trinity
rivers two feet higher, and these
streams are now higher than in twen-
ty-five years.
Engineer Long and his fireman were
found dead under their engine today.
Their train left the track in a washout
d mile north Of Cleburne. Crops over
a large area have been destroyed and
the estimated loss will reach over half
a million dollars.
