Omaha, June 9. - Latest reports
place the known dead In the Southern
Nebraska tornado on Friday evening
at twenty-three and possibly twenty
five, with three or four points yet to
hear from, and a correspondfngly
large list of injured.
With every line of communication
by wire closed to the stricken points,
it has been well nigh impossible to Sc
cure details of the destruction
wrought by the tornado, but sufficient
has been received to show that ii is
the worst of its kind which has ever
visited the state, both in loss of life
and destruction of property.
AS meager reports come in the cas-
ualty list grows, each succeeding re-
port from the different towns adding
from one to three dead and several in
jured.
Desoiation Is General.
Homeless and helpless, more than
200 people, farmers and their families,
have sought refuge in such homes as
were not in the path of the storm or
were fortunate enough TO escape with
out serious damage. Not a head of
live stock is left in the wake of the
tornado and crops are utterly destroy
ed.
Between Byron and Deshler the
greatest loss of life occurred, twelve
persons being killed outright and a
number receiving injuries from which
they cannot ecove The injured
have been cared for in the best man
ner possible, but many are still in a
critical condition and cannot be

Four Counties Hit.
The storm was general throughout
at least four counties, Fillmore, Web

southern border of the state. and
reached over into Kansas, from where
reports of great destruction are COM
ing slowly. The towns of Carleton,
Fairfield, Deshler, Shickley, Geneva,
Frankling, Ong and Riverton are
among those visited by the storm.

FOUL AIR FATAL TO SIX MINERS
Eight Others in Dangerous Condition
As Result of Breathing
Poison Air.

SilvertOn, Coo, June Six men
are dead, eight others in a dangerous
condition from breathing foul air and
twenty-five to thirty more temporarily
confined TO their homes from weak
ness due to contact with poisoned air
in the Gold King mine, located at
Gladstone.
On Thursday night fire was discoy-
cred in the engine of the mine,
and before it could be brought under
control had destroyed that building
as well as the shaft house.
Go to Rescue Of Comrades.
The two buildings were located near
the portal doors of the main shaft,
and to prevent the spread OF the
flames and accumulation Of smoke i'm
the workings of the mine, these doors
were closed temporarily. The men
working the night shift in the mine
were hurriedly notified of conditions
on the surface and instructed to with
draw. When the flames had been
extinguished the list was checked
over and discovery was then made
that three men were missing. lmme-
diately efforts to rescue them were
made. The first men to enter the
mine returned in haste and informed
those in waiting that the mine was
filled with foul air. Two rescue par
ties were formed and the men started
into the mine in groups of five.
Rescuers Succumb.
The air generated by the motion OF
the elevator had cleared the atmos-
phere in the elevator shaft, so that
but little discomfort was experienced
there. Soon after a score or more of
%escue had entered the mine, some
of those first in appeared at the foot
of the elevator shaft, carrying the un-
conscious forms of rescuers who had
succumbed to the noxious air. Later
a party reached the surface bringing
the dead body of Victor Erickson and
the almost lifeless bodies of John
Sumston and Otto Johnson, the three
men whose absence caused the neces-
sity for rescue work. Others who
persisted or were injured were OF h
rescue party.

There we're fourteen men in the
fire room when the tube, which is
four inches in diameter, blew out,
driving a torrent of scalding steam,
hot dust, cinders and ashes through
the ashpit and ~showering the half
naked men. A blast of white steam
from the ventilator told those on deck
of the accident, and Lieutenant Com.
mander S. S. Robinson, the navigator,
instantly sounded a general alarm,
dropping twenty lines of hose ready
for instant use in case of fire.

Within the fire room the surviving
seamen were fighting for life. Two of
the men we're stricken dead at their
posts. Two others crawled or were
dragged into the adjoining fire room

surviving seamen, all of whom re-
ceived injuries, showed the greatest
heroism in aiding their unfortunate
mates.
Admiral Sebree himself escaped
death or serious injury in the fated
fire pit by a mere moments time. He
had left the room where the explo-
sion occurred not fifty seconds before
the fatal blast. Several of the crew
behaved with heroism and will be re-
ported to the department later when
full particulars are known.

the surviving seanfen. Everything
seemed all right, when, without any
warning, the shower of hot cinders,
steam and ashes burst out of the fire

1t is generally believed that the an

designed to test public sentiment and
to influence the Taft forces to a com

Minneapolis. June 6. - Curtains Of
mystery have been pulled aside and in
the food of truth which illumines the
strangely horrible case of James
Flood, the boy murderer who shot and
instantly killed A. p. Camden, a total
stranger to the slayer, on Nicollst
avenue at midnight Wednesday, a
story is disclosed that possesses pc.
culiar psychological interest.
BY his W confession, confirmed by
police officers, the lad nov locked up
In the Minneapolis police headquar-
tiers Is not James Montague, as he
first said, but James Flood, whose
relatives live in the vicinity of Aus

years old, was born at Dexter, Mimi.
Through Sweating Process.
Yesterday Flood was put through a
severe sweating process and late in
the afternoon he gave out the first au.
thentic information regarding himself
and the crime.
That the boy murderer is d~eplorably
weak mentally the police have no
doubt, but whether his mind is SUI.
ficiently diseased to save him from the
gallows is a question open TO dispute.
Through all the horror of his crime
the youth passes his time pleasantly
In his cell, frequently commenting
upon his own cleverness as a female
impersonator and the beauty OF the
feminine garments which he had
spread out in his room ut the Hans
hotel.
Had Woman's Wardrobe.
In this COLLECTION of woman's raj
ment he had a dainty blue frock,
white underskirt, straight front cor.
set, open-work hose and low shoes.
The cunning of his peculiar mentality
had apparently told him that there
would be safety in such a disguise.
He was thwarted in attempting such
an escape by being captured before he
reached his room.
There is no motive, either real or
imaginative, for the murder of Cam

to be something doing" is all the ex-
PLANTATION the boy would give. Il am
not sorry that he is dead, for he had
to die some time and the quicker the

upon his bloody face at the morgue.
