No Human Lives Lost, But Stock
Was Killed-People Flock to Gel
lars to Escape Wrath of Storm

Omaha, April ga special to the
Bee from Stewards, Boone county, Neb.,
says:
"A terrific wind storm swept over this
place tonight. doing a great deal of dam
age to property and injuring several per-
sons. The wind was accompanied by hail
which covered the ground to the depth of
measured five inches in diameter.
Two and half miles south of town the
house of Mr. Russell was blown too
pieces. The family saw the storm com
ing and took refuge in a cave and thus
escaped injury. Trees two feet in
off or uprooted. The household goods
were distributed over an area of a mile
The barn and granaries were destroyed
and considerable live stock killed.
Leon Sisson, living near here had his
barn, granary, and kitchen torn down.
At the farm of w. y. McCutchin. little
farther on, the fury of the storm was the
worst. Mrs. Sprague of Sioux City the
aged mother of Mrs McCutchin was in
the cellar when the storm struck the
place. She was struck in the back by
lying debris and seriously hurt. Mrs.
McCutchin was also seriously injured as
was old lady McCutchin's mother The
house was wrecked. trees torn down up
by the roots and a lot of stock killed.
THE storm passed to the northwest,
tearing down fences and destroying the
slaughter house of Il. Fisher, also level
ing the Union Pacific telegraph line. The
storm barely missed the town. tearing
down John Tilman's barn in the out
skirts. The house of James Cummings,
living two miles east. was totally wrecked
and several of the family slightly hurt.
Everybody in Stewards went into caves
or cellars. Hail broke most of the win
age come in from the country, but 1t is
feared that some lives have been lost
