At N o'clock it was ob served by the people of Snyder, but the usual funnel-shaped forma tion waa lucking, and though the roar was plainly heard for some time before the storm broke, many were of the opinion that it was a hail storm. Within a few minutes the sky suddenly became dark and a terrilic downpour of rain began, lasting for several minutes. Then the rain stopped almost as sudden ly as it started.

Frame structures collapsed like egg shells, burying occupants under the debris, killing, crushing and maiming. Six homes and lioardiiig houses were torn to pieces, burying many persons in the wreckage. North of the railroad where many cottages stood, none is left and even the wreckage iu gli al part was curried away. lua few moments the tornado was over and the air was tilled with shrieks of the injured, mingled with the startled cries of those w ho had escaped and were seeking lost ouch.
