up the debris and removing the wreckage was well under way Tho road for considerable distance from Sayre toward Birmingham was strewn with limbs of trees and roofs of houses tance from the camp. The wreckage which obstructed the roads was quickly cleared away to leave road open for the ambulances and the re- lief automobiles and pickets stationed to direct their way to the stricken camp. Thirty or 40 doctors and nurses arrived early in the morning hours from the Hillman hospital and tho long trip to Birmingham with the ir- jured was begun.
 The majority of the injured were re- ported to be resting well at the various infirmaries at a late hour last night, though there were several who were not expected to live through the night. The town of Sayre. built in two sections has a population of about 1200 people. The tornado struck only one section, the other escaping practically undamaged In the section which the tornado struck clean sweep was made, nothing being left but wreckage. The people seemed stunned for time by the disaster and apparently could not realize its magnitude. The scene was one of widest confusion for few minutes after the cyclone struck
 PATHETIC SCENES
 Mothers carrying infants in their arms searching for lost relatives, men leading little children around in an endeavor to find their mothers and children cry ing for their parents all lent pathos to the scene, while moans of the wounded and the cries of those who had discovered some loved one dead or injured, made a most pitiful appeal to all spectators. The torches and cap lamps of the miners who searched for victims made weird scene as the reflections were thrown against the grimy and determined faces of the searchers. It is considered remarkable that no more fatalities resulted consider that nearly all the people were in bed at the time.
 Officials of the Sloss company stated yesterday that the work of re- building would be begun immediately The company Is looking after the dead and in- jured.
 Mrs. Annie Mae Caldwell. wife of Amos Caldwell. who, with his infant child. was killed Sunday, died yesterday afternoon in the Birmingham inffmary, where she was taken after the disaster. John Wood died yesterday in local in-
 irmary from his injuries.

MANY FREAKS OF WIND

MANY FREAKS OF WIND
 The fury of the wind as described by those who escaped with their lives is vouched for by the clean path of the tornado At Bradford it is said that it is impossible to tell just where a cabin or house stood. only by those who were familiar with the location orsor to the storm. The scene as described by those who aided in the rescue work is one of extreme suffering for those who were not instantly killed.
 Many freaks were discovered following the raging wind, and as the rescuers worked in a blinding rain, without lights, they were frequently mortified with their findings. Miraculous escapes are depicted in the report from Bradford, Carbon Hill, Majestic and Sayre.

the wear on horses, and the damage
