Cyclone in North Carolina

 

Raleigh, N.C., May 23 - - (Special.) – A

Special tonight says a cyclone swept through

Bertie county wrecking all the houses on Wiley

Askew’s farm.  It leveled the trees on William

Pritchard’s place.  Some of these fell on his house

and crushed it, killing one of his children instantly

and breaking the others back.
