Death came instantly, and his body was not released from the wire until the current was shut off at the powerhouse. Ivy was on his way to work when the fatal acei- dent occurred. A number of persons witnessed the tragedy, but were un- able to aid him.
 The residence and business sections of the city were strewn with wreck age of all kinds. A number of busi- ness buildings were unroofed, several collapsed, many trees were uprooted and telephone poles are down in all directions. Both light companies were forced to cut off their service and the city was in darkness. The Graph ic. the morning paper, could not pre- pare it's news and was unable to go to press Friday morning. Candles were utilized in homes and public buildings.
 The storm continued for fully an hour, and hail fell for several min utes. Meagre information from the surrounding country indicates that the storm was general. It is esti- mated that the cotton crop in this county alone has been damaged to the extent of million dollars.

He left the field in a wagon drawn by his blow team. On his way home he had to cross a creek. The stream was badly swol- len and the water concealed the place where a small bridge was located. Evidently thinking that he was head cd for the bridge, he drove into the stream. No bridge was there and Meadors was drowned
 Not far from the scene of Meadors' death Frisco freight train drawn by two engines struck a culvert that was partly submerged. Weakened by the torrent of water, the bridge gave way under the first car A number of boxcars were derailed and piled up in the stream. The train was running slowly and no lives were lost.
