Shrader in Ruins and Mrs. Shrader is Instantly Killed by Being Blown Some Distance Into a Pile of Wood, Breaking Her Neck Yesterday afU'rnoon about 4:30 the great banks of clouds that formed in the west and northwest began to look very threatening and by 5:30 the whole western sky was covered by a great cop-pcr-hued cloud and the citizens began to hasten homeward before the slorin broke, which was about G o'clock, when it swept down on the city with a great roaring of the wind, but the hills surround ing t his city broke I In force of the wind storm and the main pari of the storm passed harmlessly over us, but a heavy downpour of rain, mixed with a lernlic storm of hailslones came sweeping down and soon the streets went running a heavy stream of water, but no Hcrious damage was dime in I be city, ouside of several parlies having windows broken by the hail. The storm, which passed around this city, was very severe south of here, the strip of ter ritory several miles wide being devastated by (he storm, and the full extent of the damage done cannot be learned, as the tele phone and telegraph wires were put out of commission by the wind. At the home of fleorge Shrader, south of llock muffs, the house and all the outbuildings were, de stroyed by the tornado and Mrs. Shrader met her death by seeking a place of safely from the storm. Mr. and Mrs. Shrader and their two little granddaughters, Marie and Margie Shrader, were in the. house nl the lime the storm came up, and on advice of Mr. Shrader, they started to run from the house to a thicket of bushes for safelv, and Mrs. Shrader was Koine len or twelve feet behind the rest when she was blown into a pile of wood, mith the result that her neck was broken and she was badly mutilated by the force with which she was hurled into the wood. The house was blown into a clump of big elm trees nearby and was mashed into a thousand pieces, as was also the bam on the place. Homer Shrader a son, was working around the place, and had one of the bones in his foot broken by having some of the fall ing debris slrike it. The farm of Andrew Campbell, near the Shrader farm, was swept clear of all I he buildings and live slock and there was not, enough brt to tell that a building had every stood on I he farm. The family very fortunately escaped with their lives from the wreck of their home! The house and barn on the Thomas Campbell home stead in the same local il was also destroyed by the storm, but do lives were last there. The hail and wind was ipiile heavy just a few miles south of Ibis city and the home of Henry Kaurmann, the gardner, was a very heavy sulTcrcr from both wind and bail, two windmills be ing blown down and all the win dows in his hoi -houses were broken out, as well as other dam age that will make his loss close to l,r(H). The home of W. I. Wheeler, four miles south of here, was struck bv the hail storm and every window in the large and handsome home was shattered by the force of Ihe hail stones, back ed as they were by the terrific wind that was blowing at a cyclone rate of speed. At Ihe home of Ed Lohnes, near Cedar Creek, Ihe wind destroyed a barn and several outbuildings, but no one was injured by Ihe storm, although the property loss through this section will be quite heavy. The storm was most severe in the vicinity of Creenwood, in Ihe west part of Ihe county, where the lornado formed and passed a few1 miles east of that village and I lien turned north, passing about a mile east of town. At the farm of 0. L. Olson, near there, all the buildings on the place were de stroyed, causing a loss of fcn.ooo. The buildings on the farm of A. H. Buckingham, east of (ireen wood, were also destroyed, but the members of the family escaped without injury. The storm avoided Ashland as far as doing serious damage was concerned, but it burst in all its fury at Yulan, west and north of Ashland, where fifteen were killed and forty or more injured, and to add to I lie suffering, lire broke out and was still raging at an early hour I his morning. The town of llalston, a suburb of Omaha, was completely wiped oil' the map by Ihe wind storm and there is not enough left lo lell that there was a town there. The death loss is very heavy. Thayer Props!, who conducts a store at llalston, was fortunate in escap ing willi his family from the death-dealing force of Ihe. storm, nil hough Ihe store that he owned there was a total loss. The report conies from lterlin, in Otoe county, a few miles south of Avoca, that, six persons lost Iheir lives in Ihe storm, as well as considerable loss to properly in that locality, but the disarranged telephone connections made it very ditlicnlt to verify this report. The storm also visited the vicin ity of Xehawka, doing consider able damage lo properly, but no loss of liTe is reported from that locality. The storm was one of the worst I hat has ever swept over this part of the country and Ihe death list will probably reach over I, (Mill when the full count, is made of Ihe awful loll that the storm made airiong Ihe different ' low ns of the stale. The worst part of the storm was in the ieinily of Oma ha, where the death list is grow ing rapidly, and among I hose kill ed was Miss Mable Mcllride, who has been a visitor in this city freiiucnfly at the home of Prof. II. S. Austin and wife, and the news of her deal h came as a ter rible blow to her friends in this city, and their grief is profound.

One of the measures passed at this session of congress makes it a felony lo break. Ihe seal of a railroad car containing interstate or foreign shipments of freight, express" or baggage, or lo enter such a car with intent to steal, or to steal, conceal or by fraud or deception obtain from any rail road car, station house, depot or platform any goods or chattels which are part of an interstate foreign shipment of freight, ex press or baggage. Breaking into or stealing any part of the con tents of a piece of baggage also comes under the provisions of the ad, which applies with equal force to any person who shall buy, receive or have in his possession any freight, express, baggage or other goods or chattels so stolen, knowing tin same to be stolen. The punishment for any of these offenses is a line up lo .r)iHt or imprisonment up to ten years, or both, and prosecutions may be insliluled in any district where the crime shall have been com muted. The carrying or transporting by a person of any such freight, express, baggage or goods or chattels from one stale or ter jrilory into another, knowing it to have been stolen, const flutes a eparale ollense lor which ine ame punishment is prescribed. Prosecution for such transporting of stolen property may be in tituled in any district into which the goods or chattels may -have been removed or into which they may have been brought. The making of these acts fed eral offenses,- together '" " severilv of Ihe punishment pro vided, is expected to prevent much crime of this character, as all of fenders have a wholesome fear of the United Stales courts and the promptness and certainty with which Ihey mete out punishment. A decision has been handed down by Judge Cochran in the case of A. L. McDonald vs. Mrs. Agnes, in which the judge denies the petition of the plaintiff to have Mrs. McDonald restrained from using that name. The case is one that has been in court for a number of years in different forms. The defendant was mar ried in Oklahoma in 18i)i, and af terwards secured a divorce under Ihe territorial law and married Mrs. McDonald in Lincoln in 1898, and the United States supreme court held that the Oklahoma law was unconstitutional, and Mrs. McDonald secured another di vorce from her second husband and secured her maiden name back, but discovered that owing to some business investments it would be necessary to use the name of McDonald, and secured from Judge Paul Jessen an order modifying the decree and allow ing her to use the name of her second husband, and Mr. McDon ald started a suit lo enjoin her from using his name, but the judge has decided he has no equity in the matter. William DelesDernier of F.lmwood and A. L. Tidd appeared in Ihe suit for McDonald, while his wife was rep resented by V. C. Ramsey of ( imaha. Firemen Give Dance.
