Robeson Swept by a Cyclone, One Killed, Several Injured - Home of Mr. William 
Stone Torn to Pieces, His Mother Killed and His Wife Seriously Injured - 
Residence of Mr. Hugh Musselwhite Also Demolished, Three Children Being Injured

Lumberton, April 18 - A cyclone passing near here yesterday afternoon about 5 
o'clock did considerable damage in some sections. The house of Mr. William 
Stone, who lives about three miles northwest of here, was blown to pieces, his 
mother killed and his wife sustaining very severe injuries. She is in the 
hospital now. Thence it pursued a northeast course destroying a good deal of 
timber till it reached the Powersville settlement, about ten miles northeast 
of the city, where it destroyed the residence of Mr. Hugh Musselwhite. Mr. 
Musselwhite and three children were badly injured, but so far no other 
accidents have been reported.
