Lighting struck the house of Mrs.
j. ID. Chandler, 110 South Washing
ton ST., Thursday night during the
rain storm. The bolt struck the chim-
ney, which was in the middle of the
house. A hole about two feet across
was broken in the plastering above
the mantle piece and a piece of the
mantle torn off and thrown against
the bed. The family had not retired
all being down stairs. No one was
hurt and no other damage Of conse-
quence was done except the pictures
above the mantle piece were scatter
ed epd torn up. The mouse was fill
ed with dust and smoke which had a
sulphurous oder.
The wind blew with great force
during the storm and some hail fell,
but not enough to do serious damage
to gardens. In some parts of the
city the wind appears to have been
more severe than in others, the
greatest velocity seems to have been
reached on Calhoun street where
several trees were broken off and
limbs blown down. The falling limbs
became entangled with telephone and
electric light wires and sorne damage
resulted. There was also some dam
age to shade trees on East Liberty
street.

never been freed from stones, stumps
and other distractions These must
be removed and the road rendered
fairly even. The drag will then finish
the smoothing and, If used faithfully,
will effectually harden the surface
so that little impression will be made
in the road by travel, even in wet
weather. Only in rare cases where
the clay is SO sticky and picks up on
the wheels, will this fail. In such
cases a little soil top-dressing to pre-
vent this sticking to wheels will be
found excellent relief and then the
drag will do the rest.
A Suggestion for County Road Au-
thOritieS.
In view Of these facts would 1t
not be we'll for the road authorities
TO- plan their work so as to make the
drag a more generally used means Of
read repair for all clay, sand-clay or
gravel roads? If this were done and
the farmers instructed i'm the use of
the drag and induced to use it, the
benefits arising would be untold.

TEXAS VILLAGE DESTROYED.
THIRTY-TWO KILLED AND MANY
ARE INJURED.
cyclone Leaves Path of Death and
Destruction Almost Unparalleled
Fire Adds to Property Damage
Great Loss.

BrownwoOd. Texas, May 3O.-A
tornado of great violence struck the
little village Of Zephyr in the east
ern portion of Brown county at 1
o'clock Sunday morning and left a
path of death and destruction sell
dom paralleled. The death list has
reached total Of 80, and the num-
Der Of probably fatally injured and
seriously wounded will reach so.
The storm formed half a mile
southwest Of Zephyr and swept down
upon the village, cutting a wide
swath directly through the residence
and business district. Many houses
were entirely demolished. Lightning
struck a lumber yard and started a
confiagration which destroyed one
entire business block. No effort was
made to fight the fire as the care Of
the dead and wounded victims de-
manded all attention.
A section hand rode a hand car to
Brownwood and spread the alarm. In
two hours the Santa Fe railroad was
speeding special train to the scene
of the storm with nine surgeons and
a score of Brownwood physicians.
Hundreds of persons directly in the
storms path saved themselves. bv
taking refuge in storm cellars. More
than dozen bodies were horribly
mutilated. County Clerk Thad Ca
bier, is wife and two children, who
had gone to Zephyr to spend the
night, were killed. The big stone
school building and two churches
were swept from the face of the
earth. BY daylight 1S surgeons were
working on the wounded.
Brownwood hurried her second re-
life train at noon today loaded with
provisions. clothing and necessary ar
ticles and 40 nurses.
Tonight three persons are still un-
accounted for. Two children were
found dead late this afternoon two
miles out from town, having been
blown that distance.
The storm was 800 yards wide and
swept the earth for only a short dis
tance. probably less than a mile. It's
fury Is considered the most terrific
o. any tornado ever experienced.
The hillsides at Zephyr were COW
cred with debris Of all kinds and
bodies of dead animals and human
beings. The ruins were dimly light
ed by the burning buildings and the
cries Of the wounded rose above the
sound Of the elements, which threat
ened second storm. A hog roam
Ing through the debris-strewn street
was killed while trying to devour the
body Of an infant. Bodies were found
twisted about trees and in every con-
ceivable shape. People walked the
streets almost naked, crying for their
loved ones. Residences which es-
capped the storm were turned into
hospitals, where were carried the
bodies Of the dead and wounded.
