Twenty in Austin Hospitals.
Approximately twenty Oak Hill injured persons were

Storm Area is Limited.
Lockhart escaped storm damage it was found last night
when repair men for the telephone company renewed con-
nections through to that point.
Round Rock and Hutto, north of Austin, reported they
have escaped from effects of the storm, but had experienced
considerable rain during the afternoon.
The telephone company late last night renewed its con-
nection with Manchaca, and it was learned the town had
not sustained any damage.
Reports last night indicate the storm area was limited
to Austin and Oak Hill, with a touch of high wind at Taylor.
Manor had a light hail and rain, but no high wind was
experienced.
