SOME FREAKS
OF TORNADO
IN OMAHA
VACUUM OF THE STORM CLOUD
PLAYS NUMEROUS QUEER
TRICKS SUNDAY EVE
SHOWS POWER OF THE WIND

Prom Wednesday's Dally.
Various tales of miraculous es
capes and queer tricks played by the
treacherous winds of the tornado
that struck Dundee Sunday night,
are now being told by people who
were in the path of the cloud. Chick
ens picked clean of feathers, cows
transported several miles in the air,
houses unroofed with such ease that
the occupants did not know they
were exposed to the raid and people
uninjured in the total wrecks of
their homes are but a few of the
instances of the freakish work done.
The tornado struck near 5Cth and
Center Mreets at 8:48. according to
the report of Fire Chief Dineen. He
explained that as each wire in the
path of the tornado was severed the
fire gong in the station rarg. . At
8:48 a series of persistent intermit
tent rings began and continued over
a period of nearly 2 minutes.
A chair was driven into the out
side wall of a house at 4S15 Under
wood avenue. Each of the four legs
penetrated the siding .
While residents in Keystone Park
addition just west of Benson escaped
the path of the tornado, they say
they suffered the most severe hail
storm ever encountered in the vicin
ity. Hailstones of enormous size
were driven by a heavy straight wind
doing considerable damage.
On the Pulte farm at the edge of
town there was a garage and when
the storm came up an automobile was
standing inside. The tornado pick
ed the garage from its foundation,
carried it nearly 200 feet and dash
ed it to the ground completely wreck
ed, while the automobile remained
where it had stood, apparently not
having been moved an inch.
.John Gross of Papillion .lsolost
his cow as did Mrs. Andrew John
son. 1018 North 42nd Avenue. Later
a cow was found further along in
the path of the storm but there's no
telling whether it was carried all the
way from Papillion or only from the
42nd Avenue district.
House Destroyed Family Unhurt
The home of Webster Miles, south
side commission man. at 50 JO Jack
son street, was not only leveled by
The storm, but was so completely de
molished that not a single portion of
the structure was left intact. Despite
this fact eight people who were in
the house escaped injury whatso
ever. Out of this heap of debris, just af
ter the storm had passed, emerged
Mrs. Miles and her three-year-old
ton. Webster; Mrs. Lloyd Osborne
and her two children. Lloyd, six and
Melvin. two. while Mr. Miles and his
infant son Merwin were in some un
accountable manner removed f rom
the second story of the house and
deposited on the lawn unharmed.
Lloyd Osborne was sucked out of
the front door by wind.
At the approach of the tornado.
Mrs. Miles and Mrs. Osborne were in
the basement and the men had Just
been warned. Osborne was on the
stairs leading from the second story
and was drawn out of the open front
door by the powerful suction of the
wind. A moment later he found
himself seated in the front yard with
the child still in his arms. A Ford
sedan which was parked in front of
the house stood in the same spot as
It did before the storm came, but was
turned upside down. When Miles
noted it. all four wheels were in the
air revolving at a terrific speed.
A search of the debris an hour lat
er resulted In Mrs. Miles recovering
a jewel case containing four diamond
rings valued at $1,000. Three chick
ens picked as clean as a butcher ever,
picked a fowl were discovered on the;
stone steps leading to the house. j

when the winds which was blowing
almosta gale, caught the clothes
which she was hanging on the line,
as well as her own clothing, and
hurled her to the ground, injuring
her by striking her head against the
ground, cutting and bruising her
face and head severely. Mrs. Wil
cox was incapacitated from doing
her work thereby and suffered
greatly from the accident. Mrs.

STORM BURNED OUT
THE STREET LIGHTS
And Company is Burning Them Day
time so Workmen May Locate
the Damaged Ones.
From Wednesday's Dally.
Many people have been wondering
why the street lights have been al
lowed to burn all day for the past
couple of days. And it is but nat;
ural that they should for juice costs
money nowadays.
For their information it is stated
that the street lighting circuit was
burned out in the storm last Sun
day night and many of (he globes
were rendered useless by the high
voltage passing throug them." The
work of replacing these damaged
ones is facilitated by having the
lights burn through the day so that
the workmen may quickly locate the
dead ones and put new bulbs in their
place. The cost of the bulbs already
installed by way of replacement is
in excess of $300. It would seem that
there would be a fund for this son
of contingency, for no one knows
just when such a storm. will come.
