Tornadoes and winds of hurri
cane force ripped parts of the

injuries and destruction or dam
age to homes and barns. The storm
lashed parts of the Texas pan
handle with a near blizzard and
dropped heavy snow in several
states.
Winds of 85 m.p.h., and snow
drifting up to 3 feet in places
blocked highways for a time in
winter’s final blow. Spring* offi
cially arrived at 12:55 a.m. Satur
day.
One tornado struck near Tren
ton, Tex., 50 miles northeast of
Dallas. Another tornado uprooted
trees and damaged houses as it
brushed the northeast edge of
Marshall, Tex. A third damaged
22 homes at Paxton, a village of
about 200 persons, 40 miles south
of Marshall near the Louisiana
line.
