There has been no official list
kept of the deaths caused by
the storm in Snyder and vicin-
ity, and for this reason it will
be impossible to give tho exact
number of those who lost their
lives In the recent tornado, but
the number will be nearly one
hundred. It may possibly run
a few more. It is thought ten of
the most seriously Inured will
die. The number of Injured is
probably fifty.
A cyclone, which has no equal In
tha history of Oklahoma either for
number of persons killed or amount
of property destroyed, passed through
portions of Kiowa and Greer counties
on the night of the 10th. The tirst
traces of the storm was about six
miles south of Olustee, in Greer
county, from whence it took a north-
easterly course through Greer Into
Kiowa county for a distance of about
thirty miles. The loss to property
and lives was great and the full ex-
tent of the damage wrought will never
be known.
A report from Olustee and Lock,
In Greer county, is that the entire
Muse family, near Olustee were killed
and J. B. Ralston, his son, Fred, and
daughter, Jessie, were killed hear
Lock; also Mr. Moss on the McCowan
ranch.
The largest number of killed and
Injured was at Snyder. Here the
working of the storm was appalling[h1^
and the damage and devastation
wrought is beyond description. Scarce-
ly a building escaped some damage
or a family, but what one or more
members were sacrificed to the rav-
ages of the storm king.
The denizens of the place had very
little warning of the approaching
storm. A strong wind had been blow-
ing all day followed in the early even-
ing by a torrential rain and frightful
electrical storm. Between eight and
nine o'clock, the storm came howling
from the southwest. At the first sound
of the approaching tornado many ran
to places of safety, while others not
realizing the danger, failed to secure
shelter and were consigned to the
mercies of the storm.
The path of the cyclone was nearly
half a mile wide and it swept every-
thing before It. The town was struck
first at the Central hotel, and the rear
of the Pritchard saloon building was
torn away. The two cotton gins, the
Frisco roundhouse, grain elevators
and every residence north of the rail-
road tracks were destroyed. There
are only a few buildings that are not
either damaged or demolished, and
the prosperous little town is practical-
ly wiped off the map.
In addition to the havoc wrought by
the storm, fire broke out and the
wreckage of considerable of the busi-
ness part was burned. Whether or
not any of the bodies of dead or
wounded were cremated is not known,
but the general belief is that some
were in the fire-swept ruins.
In a few moments all was over and
the shrieks and cries of the poor un-
fortunates filled the air. In the dark-
ness of night could be heard the call-
ing of lost ones—parents seeking their
children, husbands their wives, little
voices calling for papa and mamma.
Tho tones which went out upon tho
night air were heartrending and
pitiful in the extreme. Many of those
Bought were cold In death, and their
voices hushed The shrieks and
groans of the dead and dying mingled
with notes of the ones who had es-
caped seeking their lost ones were
painful to listen to. In many families
not a living soul was left. Prof. C.
T. Hibbard, the principal of the Sny-
der schools, his wife, two children and
bis father and mother were all killed.
Many of the dead were mangled be-
yond recognition
Communication with the outside
world was broken, and messengers
were despatched to Mountain l'ark,
where the news was sent by telephone
to Hobart. Relief trains with doctors
and nurses were hurriedly dispatched
to the scene from various cities.
Meanwhile those who escaped Injury
in Snyder were working heroically all
through tho night amid heartrending

scenes. With day break and the out-
side help that had been secured the
caring for the Injured and preparing
of the dead for burial could be car-
ried on In a more systematic manner.
The ruins of a dry goods store was
used for a morgue. The frail bodies
of little children maimed and broken
lay by the strong masculine forms
which had been beaten down by the
flying debris or burled beneath flying
walls. Sad scenes were enaoted at
the morgue. Here those who had lost
relatives and friends came to Identi-
fy the dead. When Identification took
place the demonstration following
was enough to cause the strong men
who were working within to stop and
wipe away the tears.
Several temporary 4 hospitals were
Installed in buildings or parts of
buildings left. Even more distressing
were the sights at these places,
prompted by the sympathy for human
Buffering. The groans of those under-
going operations were mingled with
the sobs and screams of those whose
loved ones had just departed this
life.
The destruction of the Fessenden
family, consisting of six members, was
complete. Miss Nina Fessenden, a
daughter, was to have been married
the night of the cyclone to Clarence
Donovan, a railway engineer. The
wedding was postponed because of
some trival matter. Both of them
were killed In the tornado.
The headless body of Fred Crump,
a boy was found lying In the cellar to
Members of the family
who were in the cellar at the time
say that he had just started down
the steps when a piece of timber
struck him, completely severing his
head.
Three children in the Cook family
all of them under the age of 3 years,
were killed, the youngest, 3 months
old, being blown from its mother's
arms and instantly killed by being
thrown against a brick wall.
One of the saddest cases was that
of Cal C- Williamson, one of the lead-
ing citizens. When the tornado
struck the town Williamson hurriedly
picked up a woman, whom he thought
was his young wife, and carried her to
a place of safety. When the storm
abated it was discovered that the wo-
man he rescued was not his wife, but
a stenographer. Later he found his
wife among the dead mangled so that
Identification was difficult.
R. Pritchard, one of the leading
men In the stricken town, after
careful Investigation, gave out the
following Interview:
"The cyclone struck Snyder abont
nine o'clock. It may have been a few
minutes later. It came without warn
lng. To the best of my recollection
there was a dead calm Just prior to
the blast of wind. When the 'twister'
struck Synder It seemed that the air
was filled with flying timbers In an
instant. Buildings that would be con-
sidered substantial structures any-
where were torn asunder as if made'
of paper. Frame dwellings were lifted
from their foundations, carried far
away and demolished. Flying timbers
crushed in skulls, shattered bonos and
crushed helpless human beings almost
to a pulp.
It was all over In fifteen minutes,
but it seemed to last for an age. God
alone knows what we have passed
through since that time. Whole fam-
ilies have been wiped out. In other
families all have bein killed save one,
In still others the father and mother
have been taken, leaving a lot of
helpless little children. One who was
here before tho storm would not rec-
ognize the place now.
"Tho cyclone came up the Canadian
river valley. I have been told, and
my informants are reliable persons,
the visitation upon other farm proper-
ty has been equally severe.
"I should say that the property loss
In Snyder will approximate *500,000.
For Instance, on the north side of the
Frisco track and on the east side of
E street, probably forty buildings of
an average value of each have
been either demolished or damaged.
It Is the same on the south side of
tho street. Many valuable residences
this cyclone are far too much to think
bout."
The cyclone prostrated all wires out
of Snyder and for about twelve hours
this place was cut off from communi-
cation with the outside world. Im-
mediately upon receipts of advices
frqp nearby points, however, the Fris-
co railway started a special train
toward Snyder. It stopepd along the
way to pick up section hands and
other assistance and by daylight a
large crew was at work repairing the
damage that had been wrought. Other
special trains arriving soon after
brought nurses, medicines, physicians,
clothing and food. Special trains were
coming in all day. The people
of Oklahoma and Indian Territory did
not wait to be called upon. They con-
tributed liberally and dispatched their
contributions to this place without de-
lay.
But lnasmucn as the financial losses
have been very heavy, appeals have
been sent out for assistance on that
score. The people of Snyder are In
sore straits and sadly In need of help
from the outside world. Among the
first towns to respond with aid was
Mangum.
A special was dispatched ^rom Okla-
homa City containing Frisco officials
and a number of volunteers who came
to render what assistance they could.
Among the number was the mayor,
who is also a physician. Upon seeing
the situation and learning the condi-
tions he telegraphed the commercial
club of his city who responded liber-
ally to the aid of the sufferers, besides
clothing and food the relief commit-
tee was wired *1,500 In cash which
was donated by citizens, and more is
being subscribed.
Lawton responded generously to the
aid of the sufferers, dispatching ten
physicians early in the day. A num-
ber of other towns including Hobart,
Mountain Park, Chickasha and Qua-
nah, Texas, were prompt in offering
aid and assistance.
The undertakers of the two terri-
tories were In session at Oklahoma
City at the time of the cyclone and a
goodly number of the delegates volun-
teered their services. They came
bringing with them one hundred cof-
fins-
Gov. Ferguson of Oklahoma has Is-
sued a proclamation calling attention
to the needs of the city and offers of
relief and aid is coming In with
every train.
A relief organization of Snyder citi-
zens has been formed the officers of
which are E. P. Dunn, president; J.
C. Burnett, secretary, and J. L. Hel-
ena, treasurer, the latter to whom all
donations and relief supplies should
be sent. This committee, besides car-
ing for the wounded is making efforts
to locate friends of the unfortunates
and also answering telegrams of In-
quiry sent in.
J. L. Helena, treasurer of the local
relief committee at Snyder, has issued
the following statement:
"The pressing need of our citizens
Is money. The towns near us have
responded liberally, and we do not
want for food and qlothlng, but we
have about 100 bodies to bury and
almost fifty injured persons to be
taken care of, and besides those who
were so fortunate as to escape the
fury of the elements are without
shelter, and this they cannot provide
without money. As all they had was
swept away in fifteen minutes, they
cannot provide this shelter. The whole
residence portion of the town was de-
stroyed. leaving everybody homeless.
If the liberal people of the southwest
care to contribute, and will send
money to me as treasurer of the
Snyder relief committee, the money
will be used to alleviate the condition
of persons who are as worthy and as
much in need as human beings can
be."

LIST OF STORM VICTIMS
It is next to impossible to secure
an accurate list of the dead and in-
jured. The citizens having the
lief work in charge have attempted
to keep an accurate list in order to be
able to answer all inquiries of friends
and in this they have been qlute suc-
cessful, but there are a few unac-
counted for, and the Identification of
some may not he correct. Owing to
the great number of transients and
•new residents the names of some
may be incorrect, but are as nearly
so as is possible at this time. Fol-
lowing is the list of dead:

" Men who have to do difficult and

said Mr. Donovan. You can Imagine,
therefore, how much I was alarmed one
winter's day in 1903, when I was seized
by a pain just behind my right hip that
made it difficult for me to walk home.
It was so bad by the time I reached the
house that I was obliged to go straight
to bed."

cided that I had sciatica. In a few days
the whole nerve was affected, and the
least movement brought on terribl*
agony."
Did your condition improve under
the doctor's treatment?"
Quite the contrary. At the end of
two months I wasn't a bit better, and at
times I feared that I would never be
able to leave my bed."
•' How did you get out again ?"
" When I was lying in bed, unable to
move and wasting away in flesh, a friend
visited me and told me about the won-
derful cures brought about by a great
blood and nerve remedy, Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills. He strongly urged me to try
them, and I luckily had sense enough to
take his advice."
Did you mend quickly ?"
Yes, that was the astouiBhing thing.
I noticed a slight improvement before I
had quite finished the first box of the
pills, I could get out of bed while I wae
on the third box, and I was entirely
cured by the time I had taken fl veboxes.''
