Dreadful Scenes and Much
 Damage By the Cyclone
Special to the News. :.

Special to the News.
 Ogden, April "Wednesday morn ing, about 7:30, of April 9th, the west side of our little town was almost blown away by a disastrous cyclone. It being the first to have ever occurred at this place, people were, of course, frightened out of their senses, and knew not what to do, except stand and take it.
 Dreadful screaming and crying could be heard and mournful roaring of the approaching cyclone, falling of trees and buildings at every direc- tion. 1mmagine for yourself what an exciting time it was The people who were fortunate enough to remain in- doors until after the cyclone, had ceased began to get out to see what had happened, and they could hardly believe their eyes when they saw so many homes and buildings absolutely wiped off the face of the earth, big trees blown up by the roots, clothes and bed clothes hanging in three tops, orchards and gardens destroyed, hun- dreds of dead chickens, lying every where.
 Only two negroes were instantly killed, the wife of John Medlock, be- ing found in a tree top and his son was killed; several other negroes were possibly fatally injured. No white people were killed, but J. J. Oneal received broken shoulder and the loss of few teeth; also Oscar Mcdowell was slightly injured by a flying brick, hitting his head.
 The people who so narrowly es- capped were the Smithsons Furlows. Welchs, Van Hooks, McDowells and Hankins, their homes being almost destroyed, furniture crushed, dishes smashed, fences blown away, and the window glasses shattered into mush It was indeed sad scene to look upon One COW belonging to Will Mcdowell was killed, and their car and buggy were severly damaged. A Mills lost several fine hogs; horse and two mules and several hogs belonging to negro Ed Davis and John Medlock were killed. Pieces of hardware and furniture were found three miles from town The entire damage was estimated to be not less than $25, ,000. The two churches were almost tilted over and the hay barns of Dr. l. N. Hut and Roy Budd were blown away. The barn of M. w. Hankins was sev- erly damaged, and the front of Vel wins store completely swept away. and the depot was considerably dam- aged. Those who saw our town be- fore Wednesday morning would not recognize it now, as it doesn't look natural Several were out Wednesday afternoon taking pictures of the des- truction.
