CYCLONE AT HYDRO Three People Killed - Two Fatally Injured and Property Loss Running Into Thousands of Dollars Hydro: Three dead and two others fatally injured is the result of the tornado at Hydro Friday night, which swept away and utterly annihilated a dozen homes with a concurrent loss of the lives of three people and dangerous injury to a number more. The storm made a clean sweep over a territory one mile by three miles, leaving behind nothing but death and utter destruction. Mrs. H. Brown was the greatest sufferer. Mrs. Brown had a family of five children, the oldest a boy of fifteen. This family had no time to reach a cave and were picked up with the house and thrown out into the merciless storm. The oldest boy, Frank, the mainstay of her widowhood, was killed outright. Another child, Mary, aged eight, was fatally injured, dying later, and Mrs. Brown herself was mangled and torn in a fearful shape, resulting fatally. William Nelson was badly hurt and it is feared that his old mother received fatal injury. She is not expected to live. Miss Shaw was at home. Her sister, Mrs. William Beach, was in the house alone with her three little children when the storm struck and tore the house away. She and the children were carried in different directions. None were hurt except the older boy, Mantell, who received a serious rupture from heavy timbers. Lesser injuries are many. The financial loss is immense and overwhelming to some of those people whose houses, barns, granaries and farming implements were ruthlessly torn piece from piece, wrenched, twisted, broken into splinters and scrap iron, reducing the accumulated property savings of years into worthless rubbish and strewing this debris for miles around over fields and prairie. All standing crops, such as cotton, shock corn, kaffir corn, are destroyed. Wire fences are torn down and swept away or rolled into tangled masses, where was once prosperity and comfort is now desolation and misery. It is estimated that the property loss will exceed $50,000. The cyclone which came from the northeast seemingly from the direction of Bridgeport, some ten miles east, was preceded by a fierce electrical storm. The path of the cyclone was about four miles long and nearly a mile wide and when it came without much warning, nearly all the people in the district were within their homes. About 9:30 o'clock the deafening roar which accompanies such a storm frightened many of the people to such an extent that they ran out into the night air. The storm then commenced its tour of destruction, tearing up great trees by their roots, laying fences to waste, killing stock, ruining all crops and wrecking houses as if they were but shells. Amid all this roar the lowing of cattle and outcries from the frightened people could be heard on every side. As far as can be estimated fifteen farm houses, together with barns, fences and sheds were completely wrecked. Two children, Frank Brown, aged 14 years and his sister, aged 8, were almost instantly killed by falling debris. William Beachel, his wife and four children were injured. Mantel Beachel had ….(this is the end of article) NOTICE OF SALE In the District Court of the United States, for the Central District of the Indian Territory, in Bankruptcy. In the matter of S. H.
