a dozen residences were destroyed.
Fortunately the storm followed n

A special train wns run from Ana-
darko bringing fifty nurses nnd phys-
icians. The Manhattan hotnl has been

Impossible at this hour 11 o'clock to
learn how far Into tho country tho tor-
rlblo devastation extended and tho
oxtcnt of dnmngo to property. A
heavy rain preceded tho cyclono nnd
ns tho sky If? overcast tho storm' camo
absolutely .without warning and the
first Intimation the residents of the
city had of approach of tho appalling
dlraster wns tho crash of tho school
liouso As It whirled over tho roof
crashed Into thn ground tho struc-
tu being crusTied like nn egg shell.
A Bpecial train arrlrcO earjjr Jn tho
night from (lotebo and "J." members
of the M. W. A. lodge of Carnegie
nro on the ground rendering valuable
assistance. As there was no time to
seek shelter It Is rcmnrkable that
the mortality was not greater.
At 11 o'clock all Is quiet and tho
dead and wounded are being cared
for In a satisfactory manner. The
three principal hotels have burn turn-
ed Into morgues and sanitariums. The
excitement has quieted down nnd only
Hie weeping iuil in -urn! tg of iutlvi?
of tho dead Is henrd. In otic family
only a father is left. In another only
the mother and she Is badly wound-
ed. Much stock and cattle are dead.
The property Inning W great but n:i
estimate can be -made tonight. It Is
certain that more (lend nnd wounded
will be found when daylight comes.
No reports have come from the coun-
try. In the path of the cyclone and
none are' looked for mtli morning.
Another Rpeclat train from Hobart
nnd Mnngum will soon arrive and
with this help the town can care for
Its unfortunate. Financial aid will
bo forthcoming from neighboring
towns tomorrow. As soon n daylight
comes more searching parties will bo
sent to the country. So far only
eight dead and eighteen wounded have
been found. It Is Indeed n pitiable
sight nn forcibly romlnds ono of the
terrible Snyder tornado about forty
miles south of here last spring.
