school in that town, which happened
in the following manner:
His father inspected the school and
expressed his satisfaction. To him

somewhat hazy. 1t was only short

mystifying. 1t seemed as If the boy
lowered himself somewhat from the

he gave wild jump and succeeded
in catching one of the boys feet.

1t Does Much Damage to Property in
FIIrnas County.

Oxford. Neb., May IA tornado did
much damage in Furnas county at 6
o'clock last evening. Telegraph and
telephone wires are prostrated in the
territory covered by the storm. and
only meager reports have been obtain
ed, but it is known that several resi-
dences were wrecked and a number of
persons injured, although no fatalities
have been reported.
The most seriously injured are:
Bertha Hartman, II years old, in
ternal injuries; condition critical.
Miss Annie Hartman, painfully
bruised.
Mrs. Rosa Drews, arm broken.
Fred Drews. bruised
Unknown man crushed.
The storm came from the south
west, and so far as known the first
house struck was that of John Rey-
nolds, about five miles west Of Oxford.
This was destroyed, but the inmates
escaped serious injury. The homes Of
Fred Hartman and Fred Drews were
next demolished. Here the people were
not so fortunate. nearly all being more
or less hurt, and one at least receiving
injuries from which recovery Is doubt
full. The residence of Fred LoOs and 7.
J. Cook were wrecked as were the
school house in the Buffalo and Morn
ing View district, besides scores of
barns and other farm buildings. The
storm passed to the northeast.

SuKhrue thought that the elevator was
standing in front of him, pushed back
the door and stepped off into the shaft.
He fell into a mass of iron machinery
at the bottom of the shaft, and was ter
ribly injured.
He was carried out of the shaft and
laid on a cot in the basement of the
