Forty -one Persons Known to Be Desc

 Oklahoma City, Okla, April 28.-As detailed reports come in the extent of devastation and loss of life and prop erty from Saturdays tornado increase, and news from man places now inac- cessible on account of high water and destruction of telephone lines probably will add to the losses already tabuIat- ed.
 It is now known that 20 towns were struck by the storm which swept northward yesterday afternoon from Texas through portions of southwest ern and central Oklahoma, that two of them, Butler and Foss, were literally wiped out, and that 4 dead and over a hundred injured are accounted for. Other deaths are reported. but cannot be verified because tOrrential rains in the wake of the tornado made streams overflow, preventing rescuing parties from exploring whole sections.
 Tonight no word had been received from EIdorado, Warren, Martha and Blair, reported Saturday to have sui fered severely, while Korn, Sentinel, Colony and Hinton, Okla, were disc9v- cred today to have been badly dam aged.
 All of central Oklahoma seems to be demoralized and it may be several days before an accurate report Of the loss of life and property damage are obtained.
