Omaha, March 25.-(Via long dis
tance telephone to Denver) Omaha
and vicinity were swept by two dis
tinct wind storms, both of cyclonic In
tenslty. which spread death and de-
struction In their wakes. Fire which
broke out in many of the wrecked
buildings added to the horrors.
The best available figures place the
number OF dead between 100 and 200,
with not less than 100 more seriously in
jured and probably 600 more or less
seriously hurt.
The first and main storm struck
Ralston, three miles west of South
Omaha, shortly before 6 p. m. and
moved in a northeasterly direction
through the city Of Omaha.
The only point at which the force
OF the storm struck the business Sec
tion was at Twenty-fourth and Lake
streets. Here the Diamond theater, a
moving picture concern, well filled,
was wrecked. According to the best
available figures at least thirty OF it's
patrons were killed. Between forty
and fifty more were killed in the wreck
Of a pool hall nearby which was pat
ronized by negroes.
Path Ends at Carter Lake.
The well defined path of the storm
ended at Carter lake, near the Missou-
ri river, north of the city.
Fire broke out In the debris and
wrecked buildings. Fires burned
themselves out except in instances
where flames were brought under con-
troll by volunteer bucket brigades."
The second storm swept across the
Missouri river about 500 p. m, doing
considerable damage in Council Bluffs.
Early figures place the number OF
known dead in Council Bluffs at thir-
teen, with a score injured.
Governor Morehead, Mayor Dahl.
man and Police Commissioner Ryder
stated that at least two hundred were
KILLED at Omaha.
The list OF injured Is expected to
reach TOO. Many have been found In
the homes OF friends. where they took
refuge after the storm.
Property damage Is placed at $12,
100000.
The villages of Benson, Dundee and
Florence. suburbs of Omaha, were
practically wiped out. Only the fact
that a heavy rain fell for half an hour
after the tornado saved the mass OF
wreckage and many dead bodies from
being burned.
