DESTRUCTIVE WIND
 HTS THREE STATES
FIRST NEWS REPORTED 100 KILL ED IN TEXAS, OKLAHOMA
 AND ARKANSAS.

Dallas, TeX.-One hundred lives were the toll of the storm which swept north Texas, southern Okla homa and section of Arkansas. ac- c0rding to reports received here Many points were isolated, as the tor nado swept through thickly settled farming communities. Of the 100 re ported dead, 43 have been identified
 The course Of the storm was CT ratie. At times il leaped a mile or more before striking the ground and doing damage, and skipping over one farmhouse anharmed, only to demol- lsh the next one. No cities of any size were in it's path, it's chief force being spent in overturning farm houses and barns. Most of those kill cd Were caught under their falling homes and buried The heavy rain fall at once extinguished the many fires that started when houses were overturned, so that no deaths were reported from burning
 Much damage was done to the prospective fruit crops in many sec tiens. Strawberries and peach and pear blossoms were torn off and the loss from this will be high.
 Telephone and telegraph wires were put out of service and it was not until later that full reports of the extent of the storm began reaching the outside world
 The storm passed over Texas com ing up from the south, so high that only it's fringe was felt here and at cities south of here. After passing Dallas, it apparently swooped down and it was the counties along tho state line that felt its full force.
