DALLAS. Tex., April - 10. One
hundred known dead had been listed
OS-victims of the tornado which yes-i
teroay sirncK normern lexas, souin-
ern Oklahoma and parts of Arkansas
when order began to be reached to
day. . . . ...
The Injured, some of them so bad
ly hurt that they cannot recover, are
expected to number several hundred.
The property damage. While It will
run into many thousands of dollars,
will be smaller than at first expected
owing to the fact that the path of
the storm avoided all the principal
cltloB, striking only farm houses and
smaller villages. '
Last night the homeless, were cored
for by their neighbors. The storm In
Its erratte course did not devastate
any entire regions, often leaving sev
eral houses untouched and then dip
ping in and demolishing the next few
homes. Tho temperature dropped to
freezing along the northern line of
counties and added to the discomfort
but go far as could be counted up all
of those whose homes had been crush
ed were eared for.
Oil Molds Suffer
The counties most seriously dam
aged wero Grayson, Fannin, Hunt,
Wood, Vanaandt, Wichita, r Collin,
Camp nnd Titus in Texas, and Bryan,
Cotton and Pontotoo In Oklahoma,
The oil fields of Wichita county and
of southern Oklahoma suffered hun
dreds of thousands dollars damage In
wrecked derricks and machinery...
Tho .hour at. which the storm
struck probably caused the high
death rate. Nearly all ot the houses
destroyed contained sleeping people.
In most cases the first the occupants
heard ot the storm was when the
walls crashed down upon their beds.
Lasted Only Hour
. The entire storm did not last more
than an hour after the first sign ap
peared, leaving wrecked houses, orch
ards and forests. Many communities
describe ll as not more than a few
hundred yards In width, Its limits be
ing well marked while tn other places
s swath of ruined homes and fields
was a mile wide. '
. A plea for help from the storm
area has boon received hero by Mayor
Frank W. Wozencraft from R. C.
May, mayor of Leonard, and 50 tents
and a ounntlty of supplies were rush
ed to that town at once.
