Hard Hit-Texas Storm
Injuries Score.

Forest fires were sweeping parched
areas in California and Virginia to-
day, while in Texas prolonged drought

At least two dozen persons were in

County, Tex, when a tornado cut a
swath from 200 to $40 yards wide near
Latexo.
The most serious flood damage was
caused at Brady, Tex, where the bust
ness district was under 8 to feet of
water after the overflow of the Brady
River. From 80 to 40 homes were
carried away, making 200 to 800 per-

heavy pail of smoke to settle over the
entire region. Lack of water forced fire
fighters to confine their effort to back
firing.
