MANY KILLED IN TEXAS STORM,
Worst Equixoxial Gale In Years V.s-
Its Wide Area-Property Loss.

Dallas. Texas, April 9.A1The worst
equinoxial storm for many years
swept over north Texas and southern
Oklahoma last night, leaving III It's
wake 70 deaths, hundreds Of injured
persons, and property damage which
Will amount to many hundreds Of
thousands Of dollars, according to
incomplete reports received here.
Twenty-eight Of the known dead
were white persons.
The storm came up from the
Rio Grande Valley with high wind
and heavy rain, gaining force until
1t tore through the northern tier Of
counties in Texas with the destruc-
tiveness Of tornado. In the Texas
Panhandle there were heavy SHOWS
that stopped trains.
Reports received here during the
day show fatalities from the follow
ing towns
Canaan, Texas, 8; Durant, Okla,
6; Wood county, Texas, 4; Ector,
Texas, 3; Ravenna, Texas, 8; Min
cola, Texas, II; Tundra, Texas, 8;
Winnsboro, Texas, Is; San Angelo,
Texas, 1; Texarkana, Texas, 1; New
some, Texas, G.; Stonewall, Okla, S:
Walter, Okla, 1 Pontotoc county,
Oklahoma, 1.
The course Of the storm was er-
ratio. At times it leaped mile or
more before striking the ground and
doing damage, and left one farm
house undamaged only to demolish
the next one. No cities Of any size
were in it's path. Most OF those who
were killed were caught under their
falling buildings. The heavy rain
fall extinguished the numerous fires
that started when houses were over
turned.
The little cotton town Of Canaan
was wiped out. It's cotton gin,
church, school and cotton warehouse
containing much Of last years. crop
Of nearby farmers, and its sixteen
houses, were all swept to the ground.
At Mineola the storm struck with
extreme severity. Three white wo-
men and eight negroes were killed,
and many others received such Sc
rious injuries that more deaths are
expected.
Much damage WAS done to the
prospective fruit crops in many sec
tions, according to reports.
Telephone and telegraph wires
were put out Of commission, and 1t
was not until late to-day that reports
indicating the extent Of the storm
began to reach the outside world.
The rain made the Texas roads i'm
passable, and the only means of
reaching the stricken hamlets was by
railroads.
Shaw e. Ray,postmaster at Winns-
boro, was authority for the state
ment that fifteen had been killed in
that community. Soon after noon he
succeeded in establishing telephone
connection with Greenville, and ask
ed that help be sent. Six miles east
Of there, he said, fifteen houses had
been blown away and four persons
killed. Three miles south Of Winns-
boro, he added, eight houses were
blown down. He estimated that the
badly injured would number at least
hundred

SaiTe Valley Agreement. 4


Paris, April 10.-The council Of
four reached an agreement this af-
ternoon on the Sarre Valley. The
agreement leaves sovereignty over
the valley unchanged, but accords to
France, free Of duty, sufficient coal
for the Lorraine iron industry and
to replace the production Of the
mines destroyed in the Lens mining
district, with the privilege to the
Germans Of restoring the Lens mines,
and thus relieving the Sarre Valley
Of that charge.
This agreement removes one of
the most difficult obstacles to the
conclusion of peace.

stockholders that their company was
