Destructive Cyclone Damages Oklahoma and Indian Territories

A destructive cyclone passed over portions of Oklahoma and Indian Territories June 24. Houses were demolished, live stock killed, and crops (especially corn) badly damaged. A man named Graham was killed by lightning near Roosevelt, O. T., and a Mrs. Tobin was killed at Perry. In Lawton the damage was especially heavy. One family left their house just in time to see it sucked up by the whirlwind and turned over and over. At Snyder, also, the loss is reported to have been very heavy.
