RUN WITH GROCER'S
COOKIES; TAP TILL

Isaac Smulowitz, a. grocer at 375
Berkshire avenue, reported to the po-
lice, this morning, that he had been
the victim of an old game which is
often worked by young men. On Sat-
urday evening two youngsters came
into his store and in an open man
ner grabbed a couple of packages of
cookies. AS he gave chase they ran.
Pursuing them for a couple of blocks
it suddenly came to him that his
store had been left unguarded and
he haStened back. It was too late,
however, as those waiting for him
to leave had entered and ransacked
the cash drawer Of over So.

OMAHA HARD HIT

Lincoln, March 24-Omaha's sub
urbs suffered heavily from the storm.
Ralston, southwest of Omaha was
RACED to the ground and a half score
or more are dead. East Omaha, which
felt the tail of the twister, reported
houses demolished but no lives lost.
Council Bluffs, Ia, suffered nine dead,
a score or more injured and great
damage to property.
The worst damage was done and
the largest toll of lives was exacted
in the western part of Omaha and in
the vicinity. This is the resident por-
ton and the damage was appalling.
Whole blocks of homes were picked
up and washed into a shapeIess mass.
Street cars were hurled from the
tracks and demolished.
Bernis, one of the prettiest resi-
dence districts in Omaha, was RACED.
Fire broke out in the park, conpIet-
ing the destruction of the tornado.
Among the show places of the city
which felt the effects of the storm was
the JostIyn Castle. The roof was torn
| off and the trees ana shrubbery up
rooted.
The Convent of the Poor Clares at
29Oth and Hamilton streets was I'M
rooted. An unverified report said
that the Sacred Heart Academy at
| 360th and Bart streets was demolish-
ed.
The storm so crippled the Telegraph
service that no details of the disaster
could be communicated to the outside
world.
The Omaha telegraph office sent
| their Associated Press messages to
Lincoln on an early morning train. AT
1880 a. M, Omaha presented a sorry
spectacle as a result of last nights
/ terrific storm.
From the Field Club, which is in
the western part of the city to the
Carter Lake Club, situated at the
northeast extremity is one mass OF
debris from two to six blocks wide.

TWELVE FIREMEN
ARE CAUGHT UNDER
WALL In BLAZE

Baltimore, March 24-TweIve firemen
were more or less seriously hurt and
damage estimated at $500, 900 was caus-
ed by fire at the plant of the Union
Abattofr Company in the southwest ern
section of the city, today. The in
jured firemen were caught under a
falling wall. 1t was not thought any
of them will die. Several frenzied
animals in the stockyards section of
the plant, panic stricken by the blaze,
broke from their quarters and for a
time threatened to get past their
guards and -overruh the place. The
fire is supposed to have been caused
by crossed electric wires.

the annual conference of the labor
party is proceeding, after the dele

teal joke was not discovered until the
hungry delegates attempted to go out
to lunch when they found themselves
prisoners. The stout chains had to be
filed through before they could leave
the hall.

ARE DEAD IN WAKE OF TORNRDO

The storm was accompanied by a
severe electrical display and rain that
almost equalled a, cloudburst. Crossed
wires and lightning started fires
throughout the debris but they were
quenched by the heavy rain
RACES IN CHICAGO
Chicago, March 24-After- midnight,
last night, the terrific storm which
ragged over the central west and mid
die States, late yesterday and last
night, reached Chicago. Its coming
was presaged by practically total fail
ure of telegraph connections in all di-
recttons. Reports of disaster in the
southern and central parts of Illinois
could not be confirmed because of the
1mpossibilfty of getting into commune
cation with the endangered cities.
Damage in Chicago was confined at
the storms first coming to broken
windows, small buildings unroofed and
trees blown down.
THE condition of the wires indicates
the storm radiated from Omaha a
great distance in every direction.
Wires are down between Omaha and
points north as far as ST. Paul, as
well as in every other direction
At 2 O'Clock, virtually every tele-
graph and telephone wire in the Of
fices of the telegraph companies and
press agencies had failed.

MASS OF wRECKAGE

Lincoln, Neb., March Pa a. m
Meagre reports coming from Omaha
indicate that the city was the scene
of the most disastrous tornados that
ever visited the state. From 80 to 40
blocks in the residence section are
said to have been swept by the storm,
killing scores of people, injuring sew
eraI hundred and leaving hundreds
of wrecked residences in the path of
the storm. Railroad trains which
pulled into the city shortly before 6
o'clock, were stopped at the edge
of the city to take on dead bodies
and the many injured. The villages
of Benson, Dundee and Florence, sub
urbs of Omaha, are practically wiped
out.
The fact that heavy rain fell for
half an hour after the tornado saw
ed the mass of wreckage and many
of the bodies of the dead from be-
ing burned.
The Webster street telephone sta
ton, containing a score or more girls,
was one of the buildings hit by the
storm and in a moment it was twisted
and torn. Several of the girls were
killed outright and many others were
injured.
At 240th and Lake street, a moving
picture show which was just putting
on its final film, was struck. The
roof of the building fell and in the
mao rush TOT the open many OF LQOSS
who were not hurt by the collapse OF
the building were trampled and
crushed. The rush continued, how
ever, over the bodies of the dead
and few ON the attendants escaped.
Mayor Dahlman, of Omaha, wired
Governor Moore shortly after mid
night, for several militia companies
| to prevent the residences and the
| dead bodies from being looted Three
! Omaha companies were only partially
available according to the reports.
The storm swept in from the south
| west and zigzagged to the northeast,
| through the residence district in a
path from two to four blocks wide.
| Fire sprung up all over this area and
| added to the horror of the destruc-
| ton.
F1renen were unable to respond to
/ the numerous alarms and many
| houses were allowed to burn to the
| ground. The police were unable to
| properly protect the stricken district
| and the soldiers from Fort Omaha
| were called out The tornado zone
| is now practically under martial law
| The following is a partial list of the
! Identified dead:
William Fisher; Mabel Mcbride
| Nels Larson; G. F. Cope1ey: Walter
Peterson; Sam Dengeler; P. B. Har-

HEAVY DEATH TOLL

Omaha, Neb, March 24-(Via long
distance telephone to Denyer)-Omaha
and vicinity were swept by two dis
tinct wind storms, late yesterday af-
ternoon, both of cyc1onic intensity,
which spread death and destruction in
their wakes. Fire which broke out in
many wrecked buildings added to the
horror.
At s o'clock this morning, the best
available figures placed the number
of dead between 100 and 200 with not
less than 100 more seriously injured
and probably 300 more or less seri-
ously hurt.
All fires have been put out. During
the night, so alarms were turned in.
The first and main storm struck
Ra1ston, three miles west of South
Omaha, shortly before 6 o'clock, yes
terday evening, and moved in north
easterIy direction through the city of
Omaha.
The only point at which the force
of the storm struck the business sec
ton was oath and Lake streets. Here
the Diamond Theatre, a moving pic
ed. According to the best available
figures, at least 80 of its patrons were
killed. Between 40 and so more were
killed in the wreck of a pool hall near
by which was patronized by negroes.
The well defined path of the storm
ended at Carter Lake, near the Mis-
souri, river north of the city.
Fire broke out in the debris and
wrecked buildings. Fires burned
themselves out except in instances
where they were brought under con-
troll by volunteer bucket brigades.
The second storm swept across the
Missouri river about $50 p. M, doing
consid cradle damage in Council Bluffs.
