finest homes, those recently erected
by several of Omaha's wealthiest men,
are today a mass Of ruins.
Hundreds of families saw their
homes swept away or damaged so
badly that they were uninhabitable
and the occupants were forced to the
street during torrential rain that fol-
lowed the twister.
Twenty-Five Houses Burned.
Following the tornado and the rain
came on even greater menace in the
fires that broke out in a score of
places. At least twenty-five houses
were destroyed by flames. To add to
the horror Of the night, the electric
lights failed, wires went down and not
only the house lights, but the street
lights were extinguished, leaving only
the fltful flare from hundreds of Ian
terms to light up the scenes of horror
while the rescue parties were at
work. '...~
Shortly before p. III. the storm
was first noticed southwest of Oma-
ha, coming toward the city with the
speed Of an express train. The roar
Of the whirling, twisting wind could
be heard long before the storm struck
and people in the southern portion of
. the city asserted they could hear the
angry rumble Of the storm when it
struck the village of Ralston. The
vanguard of the storm was huge
fan-shaped cloud, dark and lowering,
which gradually narrowed into fun
nel-shaped cloud that dippen earth
ward and wherever it struck left q
wake of death and injuries and wreck
ed homes.
Almost all over the city people stood
and watched the storm approach, even
when in it's very path, some seemingly
without the power to move or not
knowing which way to turn.
Helped to Rescue Injured.
Although dazed by the damage done
the people living in the wrecked por-
lions OF the city who were unhurt
and those residing nearby fastened to
the task Of rescuing the injured.
Every automobile and truck was
pressed into service. physicians and
nurses hastily summoned and hospi,
tails and other public buildings turned
into relief stations for the injured
and morgues for the dead. Every un-
dertaker's establishment in the city,
and even in South Omaha, was taxed
to the limit in caring for the dead. as
the night wore on the devastation
wrought by the storm became more
and more evident, and the city COM
| missioners, headed by Mayor Dahl
man, took personal charge Of the re-
lief work. Headquarters were estab.
lished in the telephone exchange
building at Twenty-third and Webster,
and Major Hartman's offer to take
charge Of the patrolling of the devast.
ed district with between 200 and 800
regulars was gladly accepted Every
policeman and fireman in Omaha,
South Omaha and Council Bluffs was
used in an effort to prevent looting
Of the buildings, in the rescue of the
injured and in putting out fires.
. Before morning a call for the local
companies of state troops had been
issued and the state troops will aid
the regulars and the city officers in
guarding the wrecked buildings and
in searching the ruins for the dead
and injured. AS soon as daylight ap'
peared, Mayor Dahlman ard M"+"
Hartman made tour along the
storms path and planned the work of

thoratitatively stated that the death
list would reach 200 in Omaha alone.
Surrounding towns were swept from
the map by the tornado which really
consisted of two storms. The first and
main storm struck Ralston, three
miles west Of South Omaha, shortly
before p. NJ, and moved in north
erly direction through the city Of
Omaha.
The only point at which the force
Of the storm struck the business sec
ton was Twenty-fourth and Lake
streets. Here the Diamond theater, a
moving picture concern, we'll filed
wrecked. According to the best avail
able figures at least thirty Of its pa
irons were killed. Between forty ant
fifty more were killed in the wreck o.
pool hall near by, which was pa
tronized by negroes. The fashionable
West Farnham district and the we'll
known Kountze place were wrecked.
The well-defned path Of the storm
ended at Carter Lake, near the Mis-
souri, river north of the city.
Fire broke out in the debris ant
wrecked buildings. The fires burned
themselves out, except in instances
where flames were brought under con

The second storm swept across the

in the path of the storm. 1t is be

Platte river near Louisville and
swept up the stream to Ashland, Their

Ralston before Omaha.
After a night Of terror, in which
women and children, frantic with
grief, walked the streets, cold and
homeless, Omaha awoke today to a
scene of almost unbelievable devas
/ tation. Entering the city from the
southwest, after wiping Ralston en-
