Omaha the Sceno of several Dissraceful
Street BrawIs.
OMAHA, April 5.-South Omaha never
had such an exciting election as that
which terminated this evening at sun
down. The city is overwhelmingly
democratic, but during the municipal
campaign the democrats have been
hopelessly split and the most bitter feel
ing prevailed. The closing rally of the
campaign last night ended in free
fight, and predictions were made that
blood would flow at the polls today.
SO slarmir g did the situation become
that request for official protection was
made of Sheriff Bennett, prominent
American Protective association man,
who responded by sending thirty five
deputies to the scene of the hostilities.
Their presence seemed to intensity
the feeling and clash soon occurred
between the sheriffs force and Mayor
Sloane, who contended that the county
officials had no business whatever inter-
ferine with the doir gs of his bailiwick.
Despite the protests of the mayor, the
deputy sheriffs prepared to act, and at
noon Deputy Sheriff Austin arrested q
man who was peddling at one of the
polling places contrary to the pro-
visions OF the Australian ballot law.
The arrest precipitated trouble, and in
an instant the deputy and this prisoner
were the center of q wildly excited.
surging. oursipg crowd that threatened
to release the prisoner. Friends of both
were in the crowd, and for several min
utes the outlook was serious. Hands
were thrust into pockets that contained
revolvers and ready missiles were
on the point of being called into
active plsy. Vigorous action on
the part of the deputy, however. got
the prisoner ont of the way. Another
call was made on Sheriff Bennett and he
at once went to South Omaha to take
charge of affairs personally. A confer
enoe vas held with Mayor Sloane and
it was finally decided to withdraw the
deputy sheriffs. Several fights occurred
but up to the time of the polls closing
noting eerions occurred.

A Frixhtful Calamity,

FoRT MADISON. Ia, April GA
frightful calamity occurred last night
in the west end of this city by which
nine people lost their lives.
At 1924 Santa Fe avenue their stood
two story building owned by s. v.
Kitchen, the upper story was ed as q
dwelling by the owner, and the lower
was occupied as general store and
meat market by Mcintosh & Pease. At
11:45 p. m. the building was discovered
on ire and an alarm was given, the fire
department turning out. About two
minutes after the fire was discovered
terrific explosion shook the building
and flames burst out furiously. 1t is
supposed that some kegs of powder
stored in the building exploded and de-
stroyed the narrow stairs lead
ing inside the building from the
second story, and thus shutting out all
hope of escape for those above.
The fire burned very rapidly. the nearest
hydrant was four blocks distant, and
before connections could be made the
building was doomed. No cries were
heard from those in the building and
they all perished in flames Their
names were: s, V. Kitchen, aged 35;
Mrs. 8. V. Kitchen, aged so; and their
children, aged l., and years; Miss
Sidney Day, sister of Mrs. Kitchen,
aged 18; August Kuemeyer. a boarder.
aged II; Henry Knemeyer, a boarder,
aged 18; Samuel Kitchen, brother
of the owner, aged 90 The latter two
were taken out alive, but died at 8
o CLOCK this morning
Seven bodies were found in the ruins
and taken to the undertaken, where
they presented ghastly sight; Mrs.
Kitchen, her Eaby and sister. Miss Day,
were found in one embrace and it was
with great difficulty they were separated.
A dwelling owned by John Knock was
also destroyed, with no loss Of life The
origin of the fire is mystery. When
the store closed at 8 O'Clock there was
very little fire left in the stove.
There was no insurance on the build
