make his escape from the craft as the
flames swept over it with cyclonic rapid
ity from the docks. The fire started in
the northeast corner of the building
and swept through the long sheds like
a tornado, taking everything that stood
in its path. In three minutes after the
flames were discovered almost the en-
tire length of the sheds was fiery fur
mace, belching forth volumes of dense,
black smoke that rolled away over the
city, crumbling the freight cars that
stood beside it like finder. The entire
Omaha shed, with all of it's contents, the
dock and nearly score Of loaded freight
cars are complete loss, in addition 20

ing company, which were burned to the

filled with merchandise of all kinds.
Sugar, coffee, -four, canned goods and
almost every conceivable kind of gen.
eral merchandise made up the con-
tents. There were over 100 carloads Of
sugar alone in the building.
