The first man to reach Snyder and return to a telegraph point was the station agent at Mountain Park, a neighboring town. _ He walked into Snyder, reaching there at daylight, and, after taking a hasty view of the situaâ€" tion, and without gathering any exact details of the storm‘s effects, returned to Mountain Park. This man reported the town partialy destroyed and asserted that the list of dead would reach someâ€" where between 300 and 400. ‘The injured, he said, were to be seen everywhere, and their number undoubtedly will reach into the hundreds. While the tornado seems to have been widespread, rumors that other towns in southwestern Oklahoma had been destroyed were declared by teleâ€" phone exchanges to be incorrect, but much damage to property and loss to life had occurred in the outlying districts. The same tornado struck Quinian, in Woodward county, on the Santa Fe Rail way, destroying several houses, and at that, point three persons, Mrs. 0. W.
