More Than Thirty Persons Were In- stantly Killed. Norman, Ok. April 26.—The| worst storms in the history of Okla- homa territory visited this, Cleve- Jand, county last night, destroying fields, demolishing houses, barns and agricultural implements, and dealing death to everything in ite path. Two distinct cyclones, a terrific hailstorm and a water spout com- bined to wreak awful destruction. It is reported that 62 human lives were sacrificed. It is positive that 40 were killed, while several were fatally and scores seriously injured. The damage to property was enor- mous. FUNNEL-8HAPED CLOUDS. The .iost damage done was in the vicinity of this town in the western and central portion of. the county. It was about 5:30 p. m. that the peo- ple of Purcell, a town of the Chick. asaw nation, 15 miles southwest of here, noticed a dark cloud overhang ing the western sky, which sogn be gan to send down sheets like a car rott root. The Republic's correspondent ob served the formation of the cyclone clouds through a field glass. Points projecting from the clouds slowly assumed a cylindrical form, then conical, which very much resembled great funnels out of the ends of which destruction poured. CYCLONE NO. 1 KILLED FOUR VICTIMS. The course of the storm was from southwest to northeast and at first the clouds moved slowly but seem- ei to gain force and rapidity as the points touched the earth. That por tion of the Chickasaw nation where the cyclone formed and first struck is sparsely settled, but passing northward and slightly to the east it crossed the South Canadiau river about midway between Purcell and Norman, where it struck the thick- ly settled portion of this county and only missed Norman by about one mile In the first brunt of the cyclone four persons were killed and several injured. Seven dwellings aud two schoolhouses were destroy- ed, besides machinery and stock,nu- merous outbuildiugs, fences and barns. This cyclone passed and spent its force by the time it reached Little River about 5 miles northeast of town, and the people were hasten- ‘ing to the relief of their country friends. CYCLONE NO. 2. In about an hour afterward anoth er funnel-shaped cloud was seen ap- proaching from the west, which pass- ed on the other side of town. Its course was about in the same di- rection as the other, but had been formed several off. This last and most destructive cy- cloue passed: about five miles west and north of Norman, through what miles further Canadian river aud the most pros- perous agricultural vicinity of the county. Its force was spent a few imiles further north, when it reach- ed the divide between this place and Moore station. RLEYEN KILLED IN ONE FAMILY. There were 13 persons in John O’Conner’s house, and 11 of them were killed. Only two, young Geo. O'Conner and the hired man Doyle, escaped, the latter with a broken) arm. The house was a substantial two story frame, and not enough is left to tell what it once was. The house of David Banks, living Chickasaw nation, two hired men | named Snyder and Love, were kill- ed, and another, name unknowsz, is not expected tolive. A little girl of one of the ranchers on the place was also killed.

Fort Smith, Ark. April Shortly after miduight a cyclone swept over a section of the country about 14 miles south of Fort Smith which left a track of devastation in the little town of Jenson. Nine houses were demolished, one of them being a stone building Three freight cars were from the track near the depot, and parties in the depot who were trying to hold the door shut did not kuow the roof of the station was blown off, so great was the roar of the storm. Several women and childyen in the section house were bruised by being thrown out of bed, but no lives were lost. The path of the storm was from the southwest.

All over the north and west part of the county the effect was disastrous The Mount Moriah church blown clear around, placing the en- trance to the north instead of the south. A bern in which 8 or 10 horses were tied was blown to pieces, leaving the horses unhurt.
