Many Houses Were Dest :oycd. The Number of Dead and Injured Will Probably Reach Sixty?Reports are incomplete. l'ort Worth, Texas, duly 5- ? A tornado which struck Texas in the upper edge o f Montague county coming from the northeast, an I swinging far to the southeast, this afternoon, cost, it is believed, over 40 lives, injured 1 large number of people, and did untold damage to growing crops and cuttle. Fortunately the tornado missed the small towns in the section through which it swept, but it seemed to take a fiendish delight /.igzaggirg in such a way as to take in the homes of many farmers and stockraisers in the section At Jacksboro the force of the wind was terrific. The Baptist church and 20 other buildings were blown off their foundations and a number of buildings totally destroyed. Mrs. Travis Calhoun was seriously injured and is not expected to live. Travis Calhoun, Mrs. Thomas Hortonand Henry Vessel and family were also injured. At Montague no lives were lost in the town, but in the county there is great loss < f lives reported. Owing to the fact that wires arc down in all directions it isdiflicnlt to get particulars. Ten persons are known tobe dead in tint neighborhood and unconfirmed reports are to the etl'oct that the list of dead will go asjhigh as 40. Most of those killed lived 011 Salt creek along which the tornado swept with terrific fury. At Nacona the tornado passed a few miles to the south and the latest reports givctthc dead at 14 and the injured at 41. Many farm houses were swept entirely away. The Long Branch school house was destroyed, and theBaptist and Methodist churches at Belcher were practically destroyed. A reliable man at Nacona who has been over the scene Bays that reports vere being received of the dead when he left there. He places the loss of life at 60. Owing to the widely separated homes and the fact that in many instances whole families were wiped out, details and names are hard to get. The country through which the the tornado passed is one of the richest farming sections of Texas, lying along the northern border of the State. NO FALSE CLAIMS.

The supreme court today rendered; an interevting decision to the rai road. The suit i that of J >h i B. M ick >rell agaiutd the Lancaster and hcsier railroad.

The case appears to have been tried and the jury awarded a verdict of $1 i5 to Mackorcll. v. t (In same time it appears M,u I.- n il claimed a penalty of $50 bee use the railaoad did not pay the claim within j. .ascertain time, and he claimed that under the stance the road was liable to I he penalty because it did not settle the claim within a cert tin prescribed time. 'I he circuit court granted a nonsuit on the ground that the railroad is not liable for a penalty, !?\ reason that a charge for freight as included in the claim as filed. The court sustains the lower court in granting the non-suit, and does not go further into the case.
