SPECIAL TO THE NEWS.
Snyder, Ok., June 24.-A small-sized tornado,
following the path of last year's cyclone,
struck Snyder at 7:30 Friday night, frightening
the people and doing a great deal of damage. The
iron warehouse of the
Stoffer Hardware Company was torn to
pieces, the front of
Busey's drug store,
Zigler's
restaurant, the Signal Star Publishing Company
and several others were torn down.
Many barns and small houses were torn down. All
telephone lines were badly damaged and
communication cut off from this source.
No one was hurt, as all were in storm houses.
All grain not cut is a complete loss. This is
the worst storm since the cyclone.
