TORNADO STRIKES SNYDER.
Warehouse Destroyed, Houses Blown Down and People Seek Storm Cellars.
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.
