The Home of George W. 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.

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,

The making of these acts fed
eral offenses,- together '" "
severilv of Ihe punishment pro

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

a small frame kitchen attached to
the brick residence on Vine street
ocenniei I bv N. K. Peonies, caught
lire from a gasoline stove and
soon the structure was a mass of
llames. Tho lire alarm soon
brought tho lire department to the
scene of action and a few minutes
after the hoso began to play on
Ihe burning building the fire was
gotten under control. The loss to

of smoke that filled tho house.

very few minutes after the alarm

work in removing the household
goods, as well as getting the fire
