Littt.k Roca, Ark., April '8.- A destructive wind and rain storm occurred in Woodruff County at a early hour Saturday mornin. Yorkville, a village a few miles southwest of Cotton Plant, was almost entirely blown away, and the disaster is very great. Houses, barns, fences and structures of all kinds were taken i.p by tne wind and carried some distance. The store of C. D. Vork & Co. was completely demolished and the stock of goods destroyed. Houses were overturned by the force of the wind and the families narrowly escaped death. Hundreds of cattle and stock are reported killed, but no loss of human life can be learned. A rain-fall of four inches added to tba damage very considerably.
