Four Smith, Ark.. Jan. 12. One of
tho most terrible HtonuB that ever Btruck
thin Beetion of tho country toro through
HiIh city nliortly before midnight last
niht. Everything 1h in confusion ub
Hid ruHiilt of tiio great destruction of
life and property and hh yet it is impos
sible to give-tiiiythine liko uu accurate'
estimate of the mini bur killed und in
jured. Fifty porsotiB nro reported uu
dead and as muny minfiinK, homes hav
ing heen wrecked by the score, and hun
dreds of people were left without food or
shelter.
Two of the largest Iiousob of worship
in the city, the Baptist and Central
Mothodiat churches, wore completely
destroyed, thu llrownBcomo church wiib
badly damaged, and thu tower and roof
of the htoh school building were blown
oil'.
The storm struck the city in the
southwestern section, a point where the
rivorB conio together und near the old
fort. From thuro it spreud out over the
whole city, dipping down and scattering
destruction everywhere. There is a rise
in the city toward thu east to meet the
hills on that side, und most of the dam
age to property and loss of Hie wiib in
that suction.
After leaving Fort Smith the tornado
veered and touched at Aluma, nine
miles northeast, doing considerable dam
.uge, but whether there is any loss of life
is not known.
The debris of many buildings in the
lodging-house section caught on lire und
those unfortunates who were iiot at once
extricated ulive, perished miserably by
being burned or'smuthered to death.
Many people in tho outside districts
were killed in the crush of falling resi
dences. All the nursus and doctors that
can lie pressed into service are being
utilized, und there are scores of tempo
rary hospitals throughout the city. The
morgue is taxed to Ub utmost capacity,
and additional bodies are being brought
iu every few minutes.
Altogether the scene at tho place is
Hickening and horrible. A heuvy rain
followed thu terrible tornado and it was
probably twenty minutes before the city
awoke to the fact that it hud been vis
ited by a calamity. The fire department
was called out and iu Icbh tliun twenty
minutes tho Btruots were crowded with
people and willing hands were ready to
render nil tho aid tho uinorgoncy re
quired. Tho scene is one of tliu inost appalling
and destructive witnessed in the coun
try, and it is without parallel in this sec
tion of the southwest.
At noon it looks ak though llfty per
sons have at least been killed, and the
do.Uh list is growing grudually. Hun
dreds of persons have been injured,
some seriously, and othora not so badly.
Many fine residences were razed to tho
ground.
The tornado after passing through the
residence district, did its worst work in
that portion of the business district in
which the older buildings tire located
and the totals of damage do not mount
up very rapidly, although many build
ings were partly or wholly ruined. For
this reason it is probable that $500,000
will nearly cover thu loss of buildings

WITH HAZEL SWITCHES.
ilow Twenty Thouwnd Dollars In Gold
Was round Hurled in Alabama.
Chauip Cornelius was a rich Blount
county fanner, who lived near Chepol
topec before the war. When that con
flict came on he had twenty thousand
dollars in gold, which he buried in a
pot on his premises. One night during
the war, while lie was at home on a
furlough, a gang of robbers entered
his house and endeavored to extort
from him by torture the hiding place
of his treasure. They liiing him up
four times, says the St. Louis Republic,
but each time when taken down lie re
fused to divulge 'the secret. The fourth
time they left him for dead, fired the
house and fled. A fuithful negro
slave dragged his muster out, but Cor
nelius died from his injuries leaving
the whereabouts of the buried treasure
a mystery. Yesterday three strange
men visited the place, which is now
owned by John Findley, and said that
as one of them was uu adept hi the use
of the hazel switch, with which to lo
cate streams of water, gold and silver,
they desired to search for the missing
treasure, Findley to pay for all cost of
the search and ull to share in tho pro
ceeds. Findley laughed at them, and
told them that they were free to dig
und keep all the gold they could find.
They went to the spot where the two
old chimneys, all that remained of the
decayed Corneliiis mansion, stand, and
dug all that day without avail, but dur
ing last night, Findley found upon in
vestigation this morning, the strangers
returned, and at the bottom of a fresh
hole they had dug was found, carefully
covered up, n rusty old pot dug in the
ground. The contents of the pot were
missing, but a note left by the men
buid they hud scoured the treasure by
the hazel switches' use and had kept it,
according to Findley's permission.
