SON OF COUNT TOLST0I
HAS BEEN TAKEN
(By Associated Press)

Vienna, May 27-One of the most
distinguished prisoners Of war cap
tured by the Austrian and Hungar-
ian forces is son of the late Count
Tolstoi, who was taken in the Car
pathians recently, escaped, and now
has been retaken.
Young Count Tolstoi was placed
in a prison camp at Milovic in Bo-
hemia, but with his companions
managed to tunnel his way out. He
got as far as Trieste, where he was
recognized and seized. The tunnel
through which he escaped was about
twelve yards long, and was dug al
most under the eyes of the guards,
from a room to a point outside the
wall.
Tolstoi is one of number of
brothers who took the field for Rus
sia, Notwithstanding their fathers
well-known hatred of war and oppo-
sition to an alliance with France as
likely to bring about conflict soon
er or later.

would indicate that the western

OKLAHOMA
ACCOUNT Of
SEVERE STORM
PROPERTY DAMAGE HEAVY.
WIRE AND RAIL COMMUNICA.
TI0N CUT OFF; LOSS OF LIFE
MAY BE LARGER THAN RE-
PORTED
(By Associated Press. }

Fort Smith, Ark, May 27.-Six
persons are reported dead in eastern
Oklahoma as the result of a storm
last night. two at Talihina and four
at Checotah, Okla. Reports from
Antlers, Okla, say there were more
than sixty injured.
The wire and rail communication
throughout the stricken district,
which includes western Arkansas, Is
almost entirely cut off today. Some
estimates place the loss of life at a
much larger figure. The property
damage was considerable. On ac-
count of the rapid rise in streams
from the heavy rains there are fears
of floods.
