WESTERN SECTION OF OMAHA IN RUINS
Houses Allowed to burn.

Fires sprung up all over this terri
tory and added to the horrors OF the
twister. Firemen We're unable to re-
spond to the numerous alarms and
many houses were allowed to burn to
tho ground.
The police were unable to properly
police the stricken district. and the
soldiers from Fort Omaha were called
out. The tornado zone soon was under
martial law.
The villages Of Benson. Dundee and
Florence. suburbs of Omaha. were
practically wiped out. Only the fact
that a heavy rain fell for half hour
after the tornado saved the mass OF
wreckage and many dead bodies from
being burned.

score or more injured and grea,
damage to property.
West Part Of City Hit.
The worst damage was done and the
largest toll Of lives was exacted in the
western part Of Omaha and in the vi
cinity of Twentyfourth and Lake and
from there northeast to Sixteenth and
Binney streets. This is the residence
portion and the destruction wrought
was we'll nigh appalling. Whole blocks
of homes were picked UP and dashed
into shapeless mass. Street cars
were hurled from the tracks and de-
molished.
Many Dssdsin Thsater.
A moving picture thester at Twen-
ty-fourth and Lake streets was de-
stroyed. Ten dead and eight injured
have thus far been removed from the
ruins. About fifty persons were in the
theater at the time and it is feared
that most OF these are buried in the
debris.
Benis Park. one Of the prettiest
residence districts in Omaha, was
razed and fires dotted the park, COM
pleting the destructive work Of the
tornado.
Among the show places Of the city
damaged was the Jostlyn Castle. The
roof was torn of and the trees and
shrubbery uprooted.
The convent Of the Poor Clares, al
Twenty ninth and Hamilton streets,
was unroofed and the grounds were
Uttered with debris, and an unycr.fied
report said that the Sacred Academy
at Thirty-sixth and Bart streets waa
demolished.

Omaha, March 24.-[By long dis
Omaha and vicinity were swept By
two distinct wind storms late yester-
day afternoon, both of tornado inten-
sity. which spread death and destruc-
ton in their wakes. Fire which broke
out in many OF the wrecked buildings
added to the horrors.
At 8 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 800 more or less seriously
hurt.
Teispk one Girls Crushed.
The Webster street telephone station
contained score or more of girls and
was one Of the buildings struck by the
\ storm, and In q moment was twisted
and torn. Several Of the girls were

here that the village of Berlin. nifty
miles south Of Omaha, was wiped out
by yesterdays tornado lacked contir-
nation, as the wires We're down. Ten
persons are known to be dead and it
is believed that the list will reach iif-
teen at Yutan, about thirty-tive miles
northwest OF here. where tornado
which later did such havoc at Omaha
first began it's destructive work.
The known dead at Yutan are:
Little son OF Fred Heyn.
Henry Scheele.
Baby of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Ohm.
A r. Hammond.
Mrs. A. r. Hammond
Little son of Hammonds.

Storm, Broke Suddenly.
The storm at Yutan broke with such
suddenness that residents were unable
TO reach their tornado cellars
The furniture store of the village was
turned into a morgue and at one time
there were ten bodies there.
Relief trains with physicians We're
rushed to Yutan from Lincoln and this
morning several of the injured were
taken to the Lincoln hospital.
Sorry Spectacle Presented
The storm so paralyzed the tele-
graph service that no reports of the
disaster could be communicated to the
outside world. The Omaha telegra ph
lffice sent their piled-up messages on
an early train.
AT 1880 a. m. Omaha presented q
sorry spectacle. From the Field club.
n the western part Of the city, to the
Carter club. at the northeast. dis
tance from two to six blocks wide. was
a mass OF debris. Federal soldiers from
Fort Omaha assisted the police from
keeping looters and morbidly curious
at bay. The presence of the soldiers
gives the city the appearance OF being
under martial law.
Death List Uncertain.
1t Is impossible at this hour to get
an accurate estimate of the loss OF life
and property. One hundred dead Is a
conservative estimate, and that the
damage to property will run up into
the hundreds Of thousands Is certain.
A garage Mt Fortiesh and Farnhasn
was destroyed, and large strip Of ter
ritorv east of that corner was seriously
damaged. The Illinois Central bridge
over the Missouri river was destroyed.
Only q few names Of the dead and In
Ijured were available.

vice had been cut of and buyers refused

and saying that II was the fault Of the
tenant shut of the elevator service and
that some Of the women employees left

wouldn't walk up.
The court found that the use Of the

which the loft was rented and that the
