HOSPITAL CROWDED. * An alarm of fire was sent in, but when the firemen reached the scene the flames had done their work. The entire train was consumed. With the { firemen came a corps of physicians from the city. As quickly as the in- jured were temporarily relieved pain they were placed on special trains and trolley cars and hurried to the hospitals here. Very few of the passengers that es- caped had any clothing to speak of. Most of them had been in their berths at the time of the explosion, and es- Pittsburg, a newspaper man, who was going home from New York and es- caped with slight injuries, “was when I heard an awful crash and was thrown. out into the aisle of the car. 1 was dazed for a little time, and only realized my position and what had happened when I felt a woman grab- bing me and screaming, ‘For God's sake, help me!' I pushed her out of the window, and a fellow passenger handed out a child which belonged to her. He then left the train and called to me to jump through the window. Just then there was a terrific explo- sion. As I dropped to the ground a missile struck and knocked me down. I don’t know how long I lay there, but when I recovered my senses I crawled across the tracks under a freight train and rolled down the embankment on the other side. 1 was in my night clothes, and all my other clothing and belongings were lost. ‘I never want to witness such a | sight as that which followed the col- WITH EXPLODES A ROAR. |[lision.

PROMINENT WOMEN HURT. The women in the wreck suffered greatly and many of those who escaped were found almost naked. Among those who escaped with slight injuries were Mrs. Albert J. Barr, wife of the proprietor of the Pittsburg Post, and her two daughters, who were on their way to Pittsburg. to the hospital, where one of the at- tending physicians gave them atten- | tion and sent them to his home. Mr. and Mrs. Tindell of Pittsburg, the latter the daughter of United States Senator P. C. Knox, were slightly in- jured by falling glass. .

Flying glass and articles which were knocked from the walls struck the Inmates as they lay in their beds and a number of minor injuries were reported. The shock and effects of the explosion were heard and felt for many miles and panes of glass of large windows were broken for miles around. Henry Silverman, a New York jew- elry salesman, had a satchel in his berth which contained $17,000 worth of jewelry. In order to escape being burned to death he was compelled to leave the satchel in the coach, which was destroyed by fire.

FINANCIAL AID NEEDED. 1t 1s utterly impossible to arrive at any definite idea of the property loss. Considering the fact that not a single building in the whole town of Snyder was left undamaged, and the addition- al fact of the great damage to live stock, fruit and crops, it is very prob- able that the total harm done by the storm will reach a high figure. The storm formed near the Texas line and its path extended in a northerly direction for over forty miles, causing damage at Altus, Olustee and other small towns and in the country, as well as at Snyder. Reports indicate that the casualties outside ‘of Snyder will ag- gregate twenty-five, and may go higher. At Snyder the lack of means to bury the dead is causing serious inconve- nience. Financial aid is needed most. Governor T. B. Ferguson to-day is- sued a request to the Mayors of vari- ous Oklahoma towns, the heads of charitable organizations and the pas- tors of churches to collect funds for the assistance qf the sufferers, there being no statutory means for the ap- propriation of money for calamities similar to the one at Snyder. A num- ber of cities have responded and as- sistance is being rendered 2s fast as practicable. Governor Ferguson has ordered the signal corps of the Nation- al Guard to proceed to Snyder from Lawton to aid in the rescue work. Secretary Charles Cunningham of the Scottish Rite bodies of Oklahoma and Indian Territory has announced that there is on hand and immediately available for purposes of ald several hundred dollars in the treasury of that order. HEED WARNING TOO LATE. SNYDER, Okla., May 11.—The havoc wrought by the tornado is complete. Out of a town of 1000 people not more than a score of houses are intact, while two-thirds of the buildings are totally wrecked. The storm formed south of Olustee, near the Texas line, and took a north- easterly course through a well-settled section. At 8 o'clock it was observed by the people of Snyder, but the usual funnel-shaped formation was lacking, and though the roar was plainly heard for some time before the storm broke, many were of the opinion that it was a hailstorm. Within a few minutes the sky became suddenly dark and a ter- rific downpour of rain began, lasting for several minutes, when it stopped almost as suddenly as’it had com- menced. A few moments of ominous calm followed and then the tornado struck, tearing buildings to pleces as though they were made of paper. Many people who had thought to take advantage of the calm to seek refuge in cellars were caught in the streets and between buildings, where some were lifted high in the air and dashed J. H. Ito the ground as though hurled from e catapult, while others were struck by flying debris and crushed almost be- yond recognition. Those who remained in their houses, except in a few blocks in the southeastern corner of the town, fared no better. The frame structures collapsed like eggshells, burying occu- pants under the debris, killing, crush- ing and maiming. Six of the eight hotels were torn to pieces, burying many in the wreckage. North of the rallroad track, where many cottages stood, not one is left, and the wreckage is mostly carried away. . DEADLY WORK QUICKLY DONE. In a few moments it was all over and the air was filled with . shrieks of injured, mingled with cries of those who had escaped and were seeking lost ones. Within a short time messengers were dispatched to Mountain Park, two and a half miles away, where the news was sent by telephone to Hobart. Phy- sicians and nurses were called for and relief trains were made up at Mangun, Hobart, Chickasha and Lawton and hurried to the scene by the Frisco. Meantime the able-bodied survivors in Snyder were working herolcally all through the night amid the most heart- rending scenes. ~ A building was util- ized for a temporary hospital and an- other was used as a morgue.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., May 11.— A special to the Oklahoman from Ho- bart says: Owing to the general con- fusion and excitement after the tor- nado had passed at Snyder fire broke out and burned up all that remained of the buildings upon one of the busi- ness blocks. So far it has not been possible to find out whether or not any bodies were cremated, but it is highly possible that such is the case. An unidentitied woman was picked up dead, having been pinioned to the | ground by a scantling, which entered | her left eye and came out through the | back of her head. Clarence Donovan and Miss Nina Fessenden were to have been married ! last night, but had just postponed the | nuptials until this morning. Both were | instantly killed. | Frederick Crum, a boy of 17, had started to a cellar, when a flying tim- | ber struck him and severed his head cntirely from his body. { Debris was carried to the northeast as far as Copperton, twelve miles away, and it is reported that there are more of the fragments of homes ; at that town and that vicinity than | are In the tornado path at Snyder. CARRIED IN TELEPHONE BOOTH. i About seventy-five head of horses and cattle were killed on the town- site. A committee was set to work to- day to remove the carcasses. The Mayor of Snyder is having much trouble arranging for the burial of the | dead. The confusion is great, owing to the fact that there still rémain a ' sreat number of unidentified bodies at the morgue. There, {8 great suffering, owing to the lack of provisions and lack of shelter. What houses remain in the town are in a bad condition and | are unsafe for habitation. Moreover, | there is not enough to care for the homeless, Bedding and wearing ap- | parel are both lacking, and despite the | efforts to succor the unfortunates they | are still in a bad condition. Many of | the wounded could not be cared for until 9 o'clock this morning, and by | that time their wounds were in a bad | condition. Dr. York of this city, who was active in relieving the suffering, says that 20 per cent of the wounded will die. The | total number of wounded is now esti- | mated at 150. Several persons are yet missing and it is certain that before ! another day a dozen more will be added | to the death list. i A car of provisions, supplies, bedding, | etc.,, was shipped from here this even- ing and a large crowd went down on the evening train to assist the dis- ftressed. Details of the sensational escape of one of the girl operators at the Snyder telephone exchange are received. The manager of the exchange was fatally injured, and one of two female oper- ators was killed. The other took refuge in a telephone booth, which was blown into a fleld without seriously injuring its occupant. CAUGHT ON WAY TO CELLARS Two trains were started from Law- ton to-day in addition to the regular train from that place to Smyder. Two hundred people have left Lawton for s(r{’:{der to render any assistance pos- B e, It is said that not one building at Snyder is left uninjured. Every build- ing @orth ot the Frisco tracks is de- molished, including the cotton com- press and the roundhouse. sgnitary conditions are fast becoming unendurable. ‘When the storm was seen coming people rushed from thelr homes for storm cellars, but most of them were caught before they reached places of safety. Flying debris injured many. Most of those killed were ' carried down when their houses collapsed and were pinioned in the timbers. As soon as daylight came and peo- ple could comprehend the extent of the damage done a mass meeting was | held and a relief committe¢ formed. At the little hamlet of Eldorado the Ralston family is said to have been completely wiped out. Hundreds of inquiries have been pouring in all day from relatives and friends of Snyder people in all parts of the country, severely taxing the ca- pacity of the Snyder telegraph office. ‘With the removal of the injured to other points the strain upon the peo- ple of Snyder will be greatly relieved. The property loss is variously esti- mated at from $3800,000-to $400,000. Two hundred residences are demol- ished and about half the business buildings are prattically a total loss. The remainder are more or less dam- aged.

CASPER, Wyo., May 11.—Frank Smith, allas “Black Mike,” a des- perado, who has frequented the stage stations between Casper and Lander for some time, was captured by forty sheepshearers at 7 o'clock this evening near Wolton after a siege of elght hours, and after he had wounded four men, including Deputy Sherift Hoback. The men shot were: Carl Knudson, shot through the neck, will dle; Wil- lam J. Norton, shot through the elbow; Charles Skinner, flesh wound, and Deputy Hoback, finger shot off.

Peterson last fall was committed to the insane asylum at Steilacoom, Wash., and this spring re- turned to Fairbanks. Since his return he has expressed hatred toward Judge Wickersham and others responsible for his commitment. To-day he armed himself with a rifle and avowed his intention of “fixing” the Judge and the others and then himself. United States Marshals, who had been informed of Peterson’s inten- tion, met him as he neared the Judge's chambers. A .desperate struggle fol- lowed, which ended in the disarming of Peterson. ————— PEORIA, TlL, May 11.—The report from New York that the war between the whisky trust and independents had ended brought out general denials from the independents in this city to-day. —music every afternoon from Cor.
