DEATH IN STORM
Six Persons Lost Lives in Okla

Oil Fields Are Swept by Two
Separate Tornadoes.

Drumright, Okla, Nov. Six lives
and more than a million dollars in oil
property was the toll taken by the
double twister that swept thru the
great Gushing oil fields at dusk Sat
urday night
point several miles from here and left
a path of shambles from 400 feet TO
900 yards wide across fourteen or the
very richest oil leases in the Gushing
field. then seemed TO skip over other
portions and then swoop down again
which it died out. The dead are:
Joe Jennings, blacksmith, his wife
and 14-year7old boy.
VIII Dodson, Is. who lived IN
house adjoining that of the Jennings
family.
wess Walton. rancher, who lived
two miles south of Mannfotd.
Fred Fugate, 17-year-oTd rancher.
Thirty Were Injured.
While the total number of persons
who were hurt in the storm is be-
lieved to be thirty, those who have
been found and identIred is far less
than this Few of the injured people
were brought to the Drumright hos
pitaI. Many of those who were hurt
were given medical aid in the field and
an accurate check on the total num-
Der who were hurt is made exceeding
ly difficult.
Eye witnesses and injured say that
two distinct tornadoes swept over tins
oil fields. The first did hardly any
damage, but the second, which came
from one to two minutes later, left
death and destruction in its wake.
The twister disappeared entirely near
Prue, on the Arkansas river, thirty
five miles northeastward. The task
of rehabilitation has started here.

GENERAL PERSHING.
BY Douglas VoII<, N. A.

ate Peace, and artists were selected
and commissioned to carry out the
work.
That the gift to the government
should be thoroly national in charac-
ter, the committee decided that groups
of these portraits should be financed
by art patrons of the several large
Am erican cities, and that every poE-
trait in each group should be suitably
inscribed as being presented by the
city making the donation.
The artists chosen to do the work
were Cecilia Beaux, Joseph De Camp,
Charles HopkinSon, John G. Johansen,
Edmund c. TarbeH, Douglas Volk,
Irving WileS and Jean McLane (Mrs.
Johansen). All of the commissions
have been fulfilled except that OF Mrs.
Johansen. She has not yet been able
to go to Europe. to carry out her part
of the project, which is unfortunate,
as her portraits possess n rare qualify
and charm which endears them to all
who are fortunate enough to see her
work.
Because of this exhibitors national
and patriotic character in addition TO
it's artistic worth, it was believed thar
the entrance foyer OF the Memorial
building would be a most appropriate
place for the display of these pictures.
It has also facilities for the hanging
and lighting of large pictures I'M
equal1ed by any other place in the
city.
The exhibition was hung Saturday
afternoon by members of the Art
Guild, which organization was chief
1y instrumental in bringing it here.
and which, with the assistance of 9TH
err local. Clubs, and some public spirited
citizens. is financing the project.
Much admiration was expressed
Saturday by George NJ. Stone and
ty and artistic quality of most of the
work.

was returning home when the accident
occurred. He said he was unable to
explain how 1t happened. First, he
asserted, there came binding flash
of light, followed quickly by another,
accompanied by a cracking noise over
his head. The next thing he knew his
car was in the position shown in the
photograph above. The theory was
advanced that he may have fallen
asleep for a moment, allowing the car
to run wild.
The car was not damaged as badly,
however, as one might judge consider
ing the fact that it broke off a tele-
phone pole. The right hand front
wheel and fender was damaged and
the top was mashed on the right side.
