BOX BUTTE COUNTY, NEBRASKA I THURSDAY. MAY 22, 1HI3 NUMBER 24 THE SEWARD TORNADO Terrible Blow Dealt Prosperous Eastern Nebraska Town by Disastrous Tor nado Which Destroys 28 Homes and Kills Eight People herald man there With a ronr us though a thousand cannon were loosed at once and in lees time than it takes to tell it, a disastrous tornado struck the town of Seward at ten minutes to six o'clock Wednesday night of last week, killing 8, wounding many more, ami destroying a total of 22 homes which were in the path of the tor nado. The Herald reporter, who was in eastern Nebraska, was advised to go to the scene and learn at first hand of the results of the storm for the information of Herald readers. He spent part cf Saturday and all day Sunday on the ground, securing a large number of picture, two of which are shown herewith. Many others, including a panorama four feet long, are now on exhibition in the window of the Holsten drug store, together with a collection of interesting relics gathered by the re porter. He was shown every court esy toy the off it :als in charge, par ticular attentle n being given bird by Mr. Berry, chif cf police, who -corted him through the devasted district and gave htm much desira ble information. Over il.OOO people visited the scene on Sunday, coming on trains and by automobile. Great crowds were also there on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Beginning of the Storm The storm hit the city near the fair grounds park, and sweeping in a northeasterly direction, tore a path. from one to two blocks wide. From here it tore across country in the di rection of Cermantown, northeast of here. The storm struck the fair grounds. northwest of town, where it did minor damage. It then followed the line of the Xort liwr t-Tii tracks through the north edge of tnVrfir, finally veering off toward the northeast as it trailed out of the city limits. Approximately cue fifth of the town wes In the path cf the. storm. Twenty two houses were totally wrecked and a huge list of barns and other out buildings was added to the toll of property mined by the wind's fury. It was shortly after 5 o'clock that the big storm clouds formed in the west. Many people hurried home, but others pronounced the clouds harm less and did not make any prepara tions Tor a storm. At 5:30, however, the clouds appeared more ominous, and twenty m'nutes later the storm was sweeping on its course through the town. Had it come half an hour or an hour later it would have claimed a greater toll than it did. Rushed to Cellar. Many people saw the tornado com ing and rushed to cellars. Others thought nothing of the dark cloud which came rolling up and were at upper when the twister hit. Crashing through houses and tearing up. trees It swept through the city and those who had not been watrling the clouds had no time to flee before the storm was upon thera. All the doctors in the city have been busy and a call was sent out for mi del takers from Lincoln to help the lo cal men take cure of the bodies. Prac tically the enlire population Is on the scene of the accident, working in the wreckage. A number of people are yet to be accounted for. Had the storm Struck a Utile further south it would have crashed through the heart of the city. As It was. it eweut through a nortion more thinly setiied titan the remainder of the town. This will probably hold ths loss of li down. Only One Fire Started. Twenty-two houses were totally de stroyed by the storm and nvmberless barns and outbuildings Only one Are started in the path uf the storm, that being at the restdence of K. 0. Fra rap ton. It was quickly extinguished by neighbors, however, without the aid of the Are department. A fire in the kitchen stove where supper was cook Ing ignited a bundle of papers in the kitchen. The Are spread rapidly to the wreckage roundabout but was dis covered by people who were start Ine out to aid in relief work. The storm was heard approach))) for a considerable time. Darknesit fell anil the usual r'irln? ncntrn.nr.y ing a tornado gave many people warn ing to go to their cellars or toriu. ! caves. Many lives were saved In tkU way. The storm was of short durat'm Then followed n ten? of grei ex citement. The pcr 'e rvshed fro"i he irvir. vrt at -?ie i.w:i to t'.ve assist ance to thope wh6 had been more un fortunate. The sight that met their eyes In the northern part of town was terrible. Houses were wrecked, trees were uprooted or denuded of leaves Many houses hot in the direct path of the storm were injured. Pome ol them lost roofs and projections. The cloud Had The usual cyclonic aS pearance, accompanied by the roar which made known Its riiiture. The faot that a large naenher took refuge in cellars and caves accounts for the Comparatively small number of fatarV ties. Near the fair grounds park and the Northwestern railroad is' lqrafd the Scholz home, where two members of the family lost their lives. This Is where the cloud seems to have Arst dipped and close observers say that it raised and lowered in its mad passags up the little valley. Gtiiiav Scholz and famllv started for the cave, but were struck before gett n? far. Mr. Scholz was found with his head crushed and a seven-year-old daughter dead from flying timbers. Cloud Was Umbrella Shaped. Those who watched the storm de scribe it as umbrella shaped and white in color. A roaring noise accompanied Its approach and many of the town people took refuge in cellars and caves. This safeguard was the means of savin t he lives of most who re sided in its path who were not killed Trees were r-prootod and those left standing were stripped bare or twisted out by the roots. Prci-'.'-ty Darr-age Over $1004)00. The property damage wnn Tsrtmnted at varying figures, but by conservative business men it was believed that it would ti ;il higher than $100,000. Twen ty-two houses were completely de stroyed and a like number were made untenantable throirsh the ravages of the storm. Between forty and fifty persons were said to be homeless. The storm made a clean sweep of everything in its path. Houses, furni ture, clothes, stoves, books, fences lawn swings, chicken coops, telephone and electric light wires were brushed aside, hurled, dashed and scattered in every direction, Crcat trees were torn out by their roots or were broken off and strewn over the sidewalks and the roads. No more dead have been reported, although the ruins have been thorough ly searched. The injured are all being cared for and it Is not believed that more fatalities will result. The fact that so much of the dtr escaped the storm has been a grea factor in enabling the city to care for its own relief work rapidly. All of the destitute were at once taken into the homes of neighbors and there is noth ing like the suffering which would have followed had the storm hit the city squarely The day's reports of the patrols, who have been in the district coatlnu ally since an hour after the storm, showed that no more injured person! had been reported, no pilfering had been indulged in and that all suffer ers were bearing their losses as opi'm istically as could be expected under such trying circumstances. .Mayor raider, seconded by President Miller of the comni rclal club. Sheriff flillan. W. H. Smith and a number of other business men. took a burred iiirvey of the damuse wrought by the norm and then announced that they would endeavor to bear their burden Hlor.e.

The storm came from the south west and the first houses in its course to be demolishde were those Just east of the north entrance to the fair grounds. From there it proceeded northeast, mowing a path through the town about a block wide to a point Just north of the college. The roof of .one building of the col lege was torn off. Fortunately only a portion of the section visited was compactly built up. there being a stretch thru what is known as the Spear tract and the immediate vicinity, with only a few houses, but these were practically all demolished. The storm missed the business part of town by Hbout five blocke, passing to the north of it. Among the homes demolished, or practically so, were those owned or occupied by the following persons: Mrs. David lmlay, John Fieke, Fritz Steinbeck, Mrs. Kdward Kdmunds, (Justav Scholz, Oscar Kroeger, C. L. Wasserman, Fred Kaufman, Jacob linin, David Hoover. Henry Crelgli- ton, C. H. Wullenw aber, Henry Fi- gard, Chris Rohlf smcler. Wan. Has singer. Mrs. Mary Spear. K. C. Hol land. Mis- Lucy Itayles, Henry Itohlfs meter, BAm Crim. Aug. Ludwig, Chas. Fredrick, J. It. Taylor. These houses were all in the main patli of the storm, while many oth ers on each Bide were badly wreck ed , C. H. Kroeger's home was in the ,iatli of the Sturm, but It must have raised over it, descending again with in a block, however, with more fury than ever. At the faJr grounds several build Inge were demolished and the trees broken off. Many people took refuge in cel lars and thus saved their Uvea. Os car Kroeger's family was saved by going into their cellar, while a num ber of others in the neighborhood who did not do so were killed. Hen ry Flgard's family was also saved In this manner. Mr. Figard lives in the old John Woods brick house and It was demolished. The family had to be dug ojit of the cellar. Mrs. Mary Spear had a narrow es cape. Her house was completely destroyed, but she saved herself by going into the cellar. Storm clouds had hovered in the southwest most of the afternoon. fhey suddenly approached about 6:30 and when the town was struck it was accompanied by a terrific down pour of rairi. There was alsoo some hall, and many iiersnns up town sup posed that til.' terrific roar was oc casioned by a disastrous hall stoi.n. Kliner Rousselle in ought the fir . news down town of the disaster. L. E. Ost and John Martz were on their way home, but were caught in the midst of the storni. They each grubbed a tree and held on, but the upper part of the one Mr. Os; had hold of was blown away. Sheriff Gillan took charge of af fairs in the stricken district. Mem bers cf the fire department were sworn In as deputies and patrill-ed the ground during the night. Wist of town a great deal of dam age was done, but no Irves are re ported lost. Leonard llallstein's farm building, on the old Fuller pla.'e, were demolished, but the fam ily euapde. The out-buildings on the farm of Frank lipton. Jr . were wrecked, but the Injuries to the house Iffere not serious. Jurors Make Statement Members of Box Butte County Grand Jury Give Herald Signed Statement for Publication Alliance, Nebr , May 22, 191.1. To The Alliance Herald: On April 3rd you published a state m nt given you by District Judge W. H. Westover and we, the under signed members of the grand Jury and officials of Box Butte County, ask that you kindly publish the fol lowing statement for ua: Judge Westover, In his statement, charged that the grand Jury was packed and that there was evidence brought before the Jury which should have cruised the Indictment of parties who were charged with felonies. He further stated as follows: "This Jury took an oath that they would Mdlet no person through hat red or Ill-will, and also that they would leave uupresi nted no person, which means not Indicted, from fear, favor or affection or reward or hope thereof. 1 am fully convinced that a majority of this. uund Jury has delib erately and knowingly violated the oath which they took when they were impanelled. Had one-tenth of the evidence been presented to this grand Jury in a case against, some man for stealing a three dollar pig or a culi woi.li un tlolln.s, Hit p.ir ty would have been promptly indict ed, and prosec uu y vigorously. But ine accused person in mis ease ne ing prominent socially, professionally, and otherwise, the evid nee of ser ious crime on his pari was evidently disregarded, and as far as tills grand Jury is concerned he would go un- whipped. I want to say that In more than seventeen years on the Inn li in this district, 1 have never witness ed or seen more evidence of corrup Hon and dishonesty displayed by a grand jury or any other Jury for that matter, than I have witnessed during the past week." Judge Westover also charged In his statement that the packing of the grand jury commenced when the sixty names were furnished to the clerk of the court by the county commissioners and was continued down to the impanelling of the Jury. We. the members of the grand jury above mentioned and officials of Box Butte County, who were in. hided In the charges made by Judge Wast over, firmly anil honestly In ve that the dismissal by .Inst ice Zi.rn of the charges brought again.-! Dr. C. K. SI agle, after a fair anci impartial hear ing In open court, lasting three days and thrfT nights, is a vindication ot eur motives and that tuie fact that Justice Ztr, i did not consider the ev idatiee pn seated b) the county attor ney for the state as sufficient to bind over the said Dr. ('. K. Slagle to tho District Court of Box Butte Co unty, is proof conclusive that tht charges made by Judge Westover were without foundation. Signed by J. A. Hunter, Foreman HnIHe Hagennan.
