EXAGGERATED REPORTS
OF OMAHA DISASTER
IN CHICAGO PAPERS
Thai I lie reports of the terrible
tornado in Omaha were greatly
exaggerated in tin eastern cities
imiiuMjialely after the storm oc
curred was demonstrated by the
report I hat was being circulated
lty the newsboys in Chicago when!
Mrs. James Newell departed from
Ihaf city for Omaha Monday aft
ernoon. Mrs. Newell was in the
city eslerday for a few hours en
mule home to Chicago and was
vry much pleased that the re
coils tiad been groundless. The
Omaha News of last, evening has
111" following in regard to the
matter:
Those who hoarded t rains for
Omaha from Chicago on Monday
afternoon did so believing that
they would find nothing of Omaha
hit. Mrs. .lames Newell, who was
in Chicago at that lime, says that
the newbos were crying in the
streets : '
''Omaha is wrecked; the Wood
men of I he World and City Na
tiona hank buildings have been
dynamited lo save the city from
Pre."
Mrs. Newell, who is the wifo of
the head of the auditing- depart,
menl of the HurliiiKton system in
Chicago, decided lo come anyway,
and savs she experienced the sur
prise of her life when she arrived
lind no traces of damage in the
business districts.
George . Miyder was in the
metropolis yesterday for a short
time taking in the sight at the
storm-swept region.
Report Is Untrue.
The article that, was reprinted
in this paper from the Klmwood
Leader-Echo in regard to 1$. A.
Kosencrans of this city removing
to Imperial, Neb., to assist in the
management of a pool hall there,
was without foundation, as Mr.
llosencrans had no intention of
locating there and the editor of
the I,eader-Kcho was evidently
misinformed on the matter.
The news came this morning
with a great shock lo her many
friends of the death of Miss
Hlanche Murray at the Wise
Memorial hospital in Omaha this
morning at H:.'l.". Several weeks
ago Miss Murray was taken sick
at the home of her aunt, Mrs. II.
M. Kck, of Omaha, and was taken
to the hospital, where an opera
lion was performed, and although
her condition was not the best,
she seemed to be improving until j
a few days ago, when she was j
taken with pneumonia and;
pluersy, from which she died. I
Miss Murrav was the only!
daughter of Mrs. John A. Murray
of this city, and a sister of Akin
Murray and (ieorge Murray of
Omaha, and to the grief-stricken
mother and brothers the sym
pathy of the entire community
1 .1 i i
oes out in Hie nour oi sorrow
and bereavement. I here was
never a more popular young lady
in the city than Miss Murray, who
was born here and had been rear
ed to womanhood in our midst,
and everyone knew her pleasant
and kindly hearing toward all she
met. In her passing, she leaves
i place in the circle of her
friends I hat w ill he hard to lilt,
and those that are left lo mourn
her can only hope and wail for a
meeting in another land, where
partings are no more.
The funeral will be hold either
Sunday or Monday, at the late
home in the north part of the city,
and w ill be in charge of Hev. V. L.
Austin of the First Methodist
church of this city.

details of the tornado's work in
the vicinity of Nohawka:
One other fatality, that of

A MOST BRILLIANT LIGHT
DISPLAYED LAST EVENING
JUDGE TRAVIS AND
SON, RAYMOND, RE
TURN FROM FLORIDA
The pedes! :1ans on Main street
last night were greatly alarmed
for a few minutes by a great light
on the upper section of the street,
ami it was I bought that perhaps
some building was in flames, but
on investigation it was found lo
be a large 500 watt Mazda electric
light which had been placed in
front of tho1 f.llico of Warga &
Cecil. The lamp is the most
powerful one ever u.ed in this
city ami is of over i0o candle
power and gives a very brilliant
ami powerful light, and that sec
tion oi I lie business district was
iil up in fine shape by (he lamp.
Mr. Warga slates that this lamp
is the most powerful and takes
less current than any on the mar
ket today, and the firm will have
a demonstrator here in a few days
to show those lamps to the public
and explain the current saving
adv anlages.
District Judge II. D Travis and
son, Raymond, returned last even
ing from a trip to Florida for the
benefit of the judge's health.
Whiel in Florida Judge Travis
contracted a very heavy cold, and
this, added to his stomach trouble,
made it necessary for him to re
turn home. He is confined to his
home, as the trip was very wear
ing on him, and in his weakened
condition makes it necessary to
take a rest for some time. It is
to be hoped the judge will be able
to recuperate his health here in
the quiet home and soon be able
to resume his duties on the bench.
