Cyclone in Texas.

Fort Worth, Texas, June 26.—A cyclone swept over Callahan county last night. It visited the town of Baird, the county seat, with a population of nearly 1,000 people, at 10 o’clock, and a number of houses were demolished. A church was blown down adjoining parsonage, killing a young man named Mays. All sorts of rumors are in circulation in regard to loss of life and damage to property, but the telegraph wires were down and nothing could be learned of the extent of the cyclone.
