From Bird Hollow, Texas
I have just returned from the scene of a cyclone. MR. BILLIE FAUSETT’s house was blown to pieces and the family scattered. ETHEL, 8 years old, had her skull fractures. Mr. and Mrs. FAUSETT were badly bruised and are not able to walk. Only three of the children are able to walk. The cyclone struck them on Friday evening about 5 p.m. MR. RAMSEY, living close by, hearing the screams of the family, went to their assistance. The roof of MRS. J. M. SMITH’s house was blown off but the family sustained no injuries. Mr. Smith was at Bowie when the accident occurred. The trees between Mr. Smith’s and Mr. Fausett’s residences were twisted and many of them torn up by the roots.
