ALMOST FROZEN TO DEATH
Chops His Way Out of Refrigerator
After Being Prisoner for Hours

Locked in a refrigerator where
the temperature was below freezing
and where breathing space was SO
small that the oxygen would soon be
exhausted, and facing a slow death
from freezing or suffocation, was the
terrifying plight which Joe Green,
employed nights at the ice plant at
Farragut Tuesday night.
About 1890 at night he accident
ally locked himself in the refrigra-
ed and had already began to feel the
cold when he discovered his plight.
He called for help and pounded upon
the heavy door but no help came, al
though two men were sitting in the
Office few steps from the door. Not
sound escaped from behind the
heavy walls.
Terrified and fast becoming pan
icky, Joe looked about for some
means of relief, but found none. He
finally, as last resort, began
frantically digging at the door with
an ice pick, which was the only i'm
plement he could find. 1t was aw-
full slow work for the door was thick
but he worked as only man can
york who sees slow death facing
him. and after an hours hard work
was able to see daylight through the
door and soon after was able to get
his hand intN the opening and reach
the clamp which locked the. door. In
doing so his hand was badly LAGER
ated by the wooden splinters, but he
was soon free. He admits he was
scared within an inch Of. his life.

PATH OF EASTER TORNADO
Bad Windstorm In Omaha Monday
Recalls Tornado Of 1918

For the third time in seven years,
and across almost identically the
same path, a gigantic windstorm
Monday afternoon swept diagonally
over Omaha, from southwest to
northeast, doing q great deal Of dam
age, but fortunately, causing no loss
of life nor serious injuries.
The principal disaster was the de-
struction of the steel work of the
immense new grandstand at Ak-Sar-
Ben field, the upright Orders and
derricks of which were whisked in
two like so many straws, and the
whole fattened out along the race
track.
Far at the opposite edge of the
city, ON the borders of Carter lake,
at exactly the spot where the fatal
1913 tornado left Omaha. the big
rollercoaster at Lakeside park was
demolished.
Thousands of trees, some Of them
tremendous veterans Of half a CEN
fury old, were twisted OF in the mid
die or torn up by the roots, while
many sheds and roofs were torn
away, and fences blown down. It

of the storm was exercised when the
storm approached and when it left
the central part Of Omaha. Other
wise the damage would have been
much greater according to witnesses
who say the cloud lifted over the city
itself.
Telephone and telegraph wires
leading out OF Omaha to the south
and west were put out of commits
sion for several hours, but by fran
tic efforts the telegraph lines were
restored in time to handle the San
Francisco convention news for which
the entire country was clamoring.
Telephone lines were a blank thru
this territory at nine o'clock.
It was 4:15 p. m, according to
witnesses to the destruction of the
Ak-Sar- Ben grandstand, that the
storm hit that immense network Of
heavy steel. The blast lasted for
q few minutes as It swept over the
city, and was followed by second
blow-just as in 1918.
