HURRICANE HITS
SOUTHERN STATES
DALLAS, Tex., Apr. 10.—With,
great suddenness, a fierce tornado
swept through northern Texas,
southern Oklahoma and parts of
Arkansas yesterday, doing con-;
siderable property damage and kill- j
ing and injuring a great many
people.
Houses that lay in the path of
the storm fiend were demolished,
and many of the occupants were (
killed or injured, some fatally, ere
they had time to get away to a
place of shelter. A great many
people have been rendered home
less as the result of the storm.
It is estimated that at least one
hundred and fifty people were killed
yesterday, and that several hundred
were injured, many of the latter, it
is thought, cannot recover from the
terrible injuries received during the
storm.
No estimate of the property dam
age, with any degree of certainty,
can be made as yet, as reports con
tinue to arrive of damage in remote
[ sections. It is believed, however,
that the damage will be much less
i that at first expected, as the tor
! nado appears to have avoided the
principal cities.
The plight of the unfortunate i
people who have been rendered
homeless has been increased by a
drop in the thermometer to many
degrees below the freezing point. ^
The wind, although it appears to
have spent its force, is still blow
ing strong, thereby rendering it'
bitterly cold.
The Red Cross and other organi
zations from all parts of the coun
try, are rushing aid to the stricken
area, and trains from different
points are rushing to the scene of
the desolation with doctors, nurses
and all necessary supplies.
