Tonight three persons are still
unaccounted for. Two children We're
found dead late this afternoon two
miles out from the town, having been
blown that distance.
A special train will leave Zephyr
tonight for Temple, carrying the
more seriously injured to the hospital.
The storm was 300 yards wide and
swept the earth for only short dis
tance, probably less than mile. Its
fury is considered the most terrific of
any tornado ever experienced in this
section.
J. l. Clingman, C. E. Kirkpatrick,
and nine surgeons, who formed the
first party out of Brownwood, found
a desolate scene awaiting them.
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 roaming
through the debris-strewn streets
was killed while attempting to de-
YOUR the body of an infant
Bodies were found twisted around
trees and in every conceivable shape.
People walked the streets almost
naked, crying for their loved ones.
Residences which escaped the storm
were turned into hospitals, where
were carried the bodies of the dead
and wounded.
One storrnhouse collapsed on a
family of nine without serious injury
to any.
Brownwood, with splendidly organ
ixed relief work, has the situation
we'll in hand.
