SAD ACCIDENT ENDS

of Fourth of July Victims.

3 Omaha, Neb., July 6.-At least six,
and possibly double that number OF
lives were lost as the result of the
collapse of boat landing platform at
Manawa Lake at 1920 Wednesday
night. The dead whose bodies have
been recovered are:
Lena Roseblum, Omaha: Bessie
Hyland, II years old, Omaha; Mary
West. Council Bluffs, 20 years old;
Mary Looney, 10 years old, South
Omaha; Mary Sheehan, 10 years old,
Omaha; Scott E. Huff. Omaha.
s Cause Of Accident.
The accident was due to rush of
people upon the dock in an effort to
get boat to the other side of the
lake where the car line terminus is.
The dock, which extended into the
water from three to seven feet deep,
suddenly gave way and a hundred or
more men, women and children went
into the lake. Great excitement pre-.
vailed for time, but It was thought
that all had been rescued, though some
were hurt, and later Lena Rosenblum,
young woman from Omaha, died
from her injuries.
1t was not until the work of repair
ing the dock was begun Thursday
morning that 1t was known that any
We're drowned. The bodies found were
under the timbers of the dock. A
number Of persons are still reported
missing and 1t is feared that their
bodies will be found in the water.
Manawa Lake is pleasure resort
on the Iowa side of the Missouri river,
about seven miles from Omaha, with
which 1t is connected by an electric
car line.
Fourth Of July Victims.
Chicago, July 1.-TWO are dead and
157 were injured as a result of indie
pendence day celebration" in Chi
cago. Thirty-six were killed and 2,7S9
hurt in other cities. Toy pistols, giant
crackers and STRAY" bullets counted
their usual toll. the record of the toy
pistol being the only one to fall below
the figures of last year. The fmmedi-
ate death roll is smaller than that Of
a year ago. but unfortunately the SO
slain by fireworks will be but an in
finitesimal part of those who will
lose their lives because Of the orgy
of power and noise. Last year AZ
persons were killed outright, but when
lockjaw and other diseases induced by
injuries had completed their work
over 400 lives had been sacrificed to
patriotic idiocy The number of in
jured is in excess of last years fig
