"a Railway were wrecked.

ha Railway were wrecked.
A number of persons were serious
" injured when street car was
blown over at 47th and Leavenworth
streets. The conductor, John Coop
er, was seriously injured. The mo-
torman, Fred Bentley, jumped just
as the car started to roll. The wind
picked him up, carried him 200 feet
and set him down in field consider
ably shaken. Conductor Cooper says
there were at least fifteen passengers
in the car. All were more or less
hurt.
It was late Monday before all the
details of the storm which accom-
panying wreckage were known even
within the city itself. The pathway
of the storm, from three to seven
blocks in width, cut a swath twenty
four blocks long. Within the space
of this storm center, which if made
rectangular would cover a quarter
section of land, 1900 houses are
wrecked, 100 bodies have been re-
covered and search of the ruins is
being made for others. Several are
known to be still in the ruins at the
end of the storms path.
Estimates of the value Of property
demolished by the storm vary be-
tween s5,O00,O00 and s12,OOO,Oo0.
Some of the more substantial houses
can be partially rebuilt. Where the
buildings have not been torn asunder
they have been so twisted that even
the material is useless for rebuilding.
The destruction began with the
millionaire homes in the West Far
nam and Bemis park district, but
farther northwest the buildings col
lapsed more easily and large num-
Der of deaths resulted.
Rescue work started as soon as
the people were able to hurry to the
stricken district, but as the nights
work was by the light of lanterns
little was accomplished. The storm
took down all the wires in its path
and the electric power was shut of
Immediately to prevent further loss
of life.
With the arrival of daylight, a
train load of militia from Lincoln,
and the presence in the city of Gov
ernor Morehead, the work was syste-
matized and Monday night lndlca-
tions were that one more day will
end the search for bodies and will
even witness general attempt at re-
building work.

As Mrs. Petty was nursing the baby
