The destruction began with the
millionaire homes in the West Far
mum and Bemis Park district, but far
ther northwest the buildings collap-
sed more easily and large number of
deaths resulted.
Rescue work started as soon as the

took down all the wires in its path
and the electric power was shut off
Immediately to prevent further loss
of life.
With the arrival Of daylight a train
load Of militia from Lincoln and the
presence In tho city Of Governor

search for her. Board after board
lifted. I tugged and pulled at them
until my hands were cut Finally
