HAVOC NEAR sTARKYILLE.

Starkvillc, Miss, April 24.-More
damage from the storm which struck
this section Of the state is coming in
slowly on account of wire disconnec-
tions,
The loss to the Washington places
at Bell school house are estimated
to be at least $4,000. Though this
territory, it seems, the cyclone did it's
worst, devastating valuable timber,
dwellings, barns, outhouses and snuff
ing out four lives.
In the Self Greek neighborhood the
new consolidated school building was
splintered Last year the old edifice
was destroyed by fire.
The family of Sam Yeatman, con-
sisting Of H. sought refuge in one of
the rooms of his house and when the
cyclone spent its fury they were found
completely buried under a pile of
brick, scantlings and shingles and
had to be dug out by neighbors. Mrs.
Yeatman and daughter were in
jured. Further on the residence of
Mr.. Joe MCGOWAN was partly demol-
ished, Mr.. and Mrs. MCGOWAN sustain
] ing severe injuries. The next house
in the path of the storm was that of
Marion Phelps. 1t was tossed about
like an eggshell and rent in two,
children being hurt. Turning east,
Mr.. Knights dwelling and storehouse
was caught and damaged and also
were outhousos and barns. From this
point the wind struck the plantation of
] d. c. Morton of Starkville, damaging
the dwelling and other houses.
The damage to property in the see
ton of Adaton, Self Creek and Double
Springs, including the destroyed tim
Der, will be more than $4,000.
4 Cedar Bluff, in Clay County, was
also stormswept, three victims being
the toll. AT this place the houses of
Mr.. and Mrs. Leatherwood and Mrs.
Archer were demolished and the in
mates killed, the dead bodies being
found 200 yards away.
The latter woman was the mother
of Mrs. Harry Aston of this city.
About year ago Leatherwood had a
storm pit in his yard, and was pre-
pared to seek shelter when bad
storm war in view. On account of
much high water accommodating in the
pit he discarded it.
Apropos of the three deaths, a
pathetic incident occurred in the vi
entity from Meridian, having received
information that her brothers child
was dying. She arrived just few
minutes before its demise. Tuesday
