in the house were occupied except the
third, and there the fire began. It
broke through the roof in minute,
mounting the stairway shaft, and
illuminated the whole neighborhood.

and bare feet poured into the street.
From the fourth floor Charles II,

their arrival the fremen had long lad
ders up to the front windows of the
building and were beginning a search.

During the progress Of the fire the
west wall fell, burying the firemen in
the ruins. The fire was caused BY
lightning in the worst storm ever ex-
perienced in Omaha. For six hours the
rain descended in torrents and the
lightning never ceased. Telephone and
telegraph wires are burned out, cellars
flooded in almost every part Of the city,
and it is roughly estimated that $780,
900 worth of damage has been done to
property.
Heavy rains earlier in the day had
pretty we'll filed the lowlands of Omaha
and shortly after appeals began to
come in to the police station for help
from the rising waters in the northern
part of the city. The fire alarm was
sounded and several companies sent to
the scene. Another force of f1remen
was assigned to the southern districts
of the city, where like situation pre-.
vailed. The firemen found many fam
lilies in the second stories of their dwell
lings with a current as swift as the
Missouri threatening to start their
homes down the river. In many places
the flood was 6 feet deep and rising
with alarming rapidity.
Firemen went to the rescue of the
imprisoned people> with, everything
that would float two persons. Shed
doors were in demand, and in some
instances prominent citizens came

avenues between the street car

Those residing in cottages in Iooded
districts were in the greatest danger,
and many were forced to the highest
point of any single story houses to avoid
the rushing torrents.
Hundreds of people lined the high
grounds surrounding the inundated
places to render what assistance was
possible to those seeking shelter after
being driven from their homes. The
districts from which families were re-
moved from their homes were in the
vicinity of Grace, Clark, Twenty
fourth and Nineteenth streets on the
north, and along Costello and adjacent
avenues on the south.
