of the company who were before the board
several days ago Intimated they would
accept a raise of UlS.OnO over last year.
Assessor Reed declared the company had
put In about, two. miles of track and a
majority of the board decided a boost of
eVAonO would not be to much. The protest
of the company against the assessment of
he west half of the Missouri river bridge

figure It was valued at last year. Mr.

at the books of the firm to see whether
tha figures were too high or not, and Mr.

Going to tbe dentist's office
for dental work la no fun, to

However, a great deal of tbe

STORM FATAL AROUND 0MAI1A
Electrical Dementi Leara Death and Htj
Property Lots in Wake.
LITTLE ITALY IS BADLi DEVASTATtD
Hs4rr4 of Faailllea Flee for LItcs.
While Hemes Are Flooded Elk.
Bora lias lli'Thosassd. ,
Dollar Fire.
An electrical storm leaving death. heay
destruction of property and 1.69 Inches of
rtln In Its wske, swept Jon upon Omah.i
and vicinity Tuesday nljht and to som
estent, at least, a repetition Is predicted for
tonight. Omer Ayers, a young man, mas
killed by a live wire at Florence, hundreds
of Italian families In Little Italy lo3t
parts of their homes and furniture, a gen
eral merchandise store was completely de
stroyed by fire from lightning st Elkhorn.
futmers In that vicinity lost many heads
of lings, roads were flooded and In Omah
other minor damages were wrought to
houses and streets.
The storm set in about :!0 and waa the
severest of the season for Its duration.
The body of Ayers will be sent to Dayton,
O., Wednesday night for burial.
General Manager Holdrege of tha Elee
trlo light company was not In a position
Wei lesday morning to give any state
ment concerning the manner In which the
lineman met death. Mr. Holdrege had a
man Investigating the case.
Fleo to Bills for Refage.
The Italian settlement on South Nine
teenth street between the Oreat Western
and Union Paciflo tracks, both embanked,
waa severely affected by the heavy fall
of rain. The colony consists of nearly 600
persons, old and young, many of whon had
to run to the hills to escape being drowned.
The humble dwellings of the people In that
locality are mere play houses compared
with other homes of the city, and when
the flood gates of the heavens were turned
on them It was but a short time before
furniture was floating In every direction.
In one Instance a small structure floated
several hundred feet. The water com
pletely covered the lower Union Faellic
track and had not entirely receded at 11
o'clock Wednesday morning.
There was no loss of life in Little Italy,
although the loss sustained meant much
to the habitues of that section.
8. Colabrt and family had a thrilling ex
perience. The water rushed Into their little
home in torrents. With an Improvised raft
Colabrl and wife teok their children to a
place of safety. Rose Bralzo, widow, was
rescued, while here household effects were
soaked. Philip Mankos, who lives the life
of a recluse, lost several of his pet rats
and dogs. Peter Defazo, Frank Dokulll
and Jim Demato were routed from their
homes and spent the night outdoors,
drenched to the skin, with their families.
The morning sun disclosed a distressing
sight in Little Italy. Most of the residents
there are peddlers and laborers.
Pyrotechnics on West Farnam.
On Farnam street from Fortieth west
the electrical display was particularly se
vere. Great flashes of Are swept from the
electric light wire in the middle of Far
nam until they caught trees on each and
especially the south side of the street,
threatening to spread to the houses. Had
they found more dry leaves in the trees
the flames doubtless would have caught
some of tha houses. The excitement waa
sufflcirnt to keep ail the residents on the
anxious seat until late In the night. One
noticeable feature of the storm waa that
while lightning flashes came in quick suc
cession there waa almost no thunder. The
rain waa t err I tie and great streams ran
down the Farnara hill west to the Belt
Line.
Among the electrical demonstrations waa
one at Twenty-fifth avenue and Jonea
which one man will remember for a time.
Two telephone wires run along this street
and the lightning hitting on these a half
block away followed down the street until
over a pedestrian with an umbrella, when
the ball exploded, knocking the unknown
man to the pavement. He waa stunned for
a time, but waa soon able to rise and go
his way.
Patrons of the Harney street line had a
fine time getting home. A car ofl the
track kept many waiting on Fourteenth
and Harney streets for over half an hour,
and when a car Anally came along It pro
ceeded with the load of people who had
got soaked In wading to get the ear. At
California street and the boulevard the car
Jumped the track and all hands had to get
oft In water and mud and brick and paving
blocks up to their knees to replace the car
on the track. After half an hour's work,
in which all were aoaked, the Journey pro
ceded, when, at Thirty-second and Harney,
tbe car Jumped the track again. The re
placement was easier the second time, be
cause the water was not so deep. Some of
the patrons got home about 1:30 a. m.
Floating debris had caused the cars to
Jump.
Bad Flro at Elkkora.
The storm was felt tnroughout the
county. At Elkhorn lightning struck the
general merchandise store of John W.
Housley and Are completely destroyed It.
The loss on the goods is estimated at 16,000
and on the building, a one-story frame, at
$1,500. The building, which belonged to
Henry Kreynborg, was not insured and the
stock was only partially insured. Citizens
exerted their best efforts at fighting the
flames and were successful In preventing
their spread to adjacent buildings. A large
barn twelve feet away, filled with feed and
other valuables, waa entirely saved. The
only Are apparatus save the buckets of the
bucket brigade was the nose and four-
man pump. But these were put to the
best use. The lightning evidently came
from a tall tree, for the tire entered the
building from a point In the roof immedi
ately under the boughs of this tree.
The streams around Elkhorn were
swollen and country roads flooded. Sev
eral farmers were reported to have lost
their hogs. P. H. Kellogg, a farmer living
three miles west, was among these losers.
The beating rain removed the foundation
of his large hog house.
Other laeldeats of Storm.
The residence of a Mr. Emminger at Fif
tieth and Underwood streets was struck by
lightning and considerable damaged. Bonis
of the weather boarding was knocked off,
a chimney demolished and a quantity of
paper on the first floor of the house was
set on Are, but the flames were extin
guished before any great damage was
done. The water meter In the house was
ruined by the lightning.
The macadam on the Podge street road,
in the vicinity of Dundee, waa badly
washed out and the curbing undermined.
The total amount of rainfall for this
vicinity fur the twenty-four hours ending
at 7 a. m. Wednesday morning was l.li
Inches. Over at Clarinda, la., 1.71 inches
fell, while the next highest waa at Grand
Island. 1.62. with 1.46 at Ashland and 1.11
at Auburn. The precipitation was general
throughout the eastern pait of the stats
and south of the Platte, where the aver
ages were from V to Inches. The out
look for Wednesday afternoon and night is
for showery weather.
Thomas L. Eloan. who Is Just from the
vicinity of Pender, states that one of toe
heaviest hail storms that ever visited that
locality prevailed between Bancroft and
Pender about t o'clock Tuesday evening.
The hall strip was about a mile wide and
sa.Ii " mo ibiog la
Its path In the line of crops wss ruined
and the hall was plied tip at great depth,
looking like a snow storm.
Many reports of small rixmuge to streets
snd terraces and by the flooding ef base
ments from back mater from sewers have
reached the city engineering and strept de
partments, but no advices mere received of
exceptionally bad cases. Several council-
men from the outlying wards mere busying
themselves during the morning to have
small msshouts and slUb-B tlxed up as soon
ss posRible.
The rain leaked through the roof of the
Board of Trade building and caused a sec
tion of plaster to fsll from the Commer
cial club kitchen snd the office of the Ornin
exchange directly beneath.
The home of William Ellsworth, 4647 Cap
itol avenue, assistant night foreman of the
World-Herald, wss struck by lightning.
The plaster mas damaged and members of
the household frightened.
The large chimney at the home of W. B.
Taylor, 3(21 Howard street, was struck and
shattered. No one In the hotixe was in
jured. The basement of the home of Detective
Sam Drunimy, 4236 Harney street, mas
flooded. A defective sewer caused the
trouble. Mr. Drummy's cellar caved In and
caused a damage of several hundred dol
lars.
CORS CROP TO BREAK TUB RECORD
Yield la Nebraska ever Had Retter
Prospects.
"Never were the prospects better at this
season of the year for a bumper corn crop
In the state of Nebraska." said G. W.
Looinls of the Burlington, who keeps a
close tab on all the crops In this state
and Wyoming. "The farmers had plenty
of chance to cultivate In June which made
the corn most free from weeds and the
rains. have come opportunely to make the
corn crop Just right. It never had a
better appearance at this season, of the
year and with warm nights and sun and
a little rain in August should be tho
record breaker."
The reports at the Union Pacific show
it rained Tuesday night as far west as
Gottenburg and on all the branch lines.
The Burlington report shows heavy rains
on the east end of both the Wymore and
Lincoln divisions and scattering showers
all over the McCook division.
At Nebraska City the rain fall m-as re
ported at 1.75 inches snd at Syracuse heavy.
The crop reports showed nothing was In
especial need of rain except oats and that
crop Is such a small proportion of the Ne
braska grain output that It cuts little
figure. All sections of Nebraska have
now had the desired rain and the whole
Mate Is happy.
TRAINS FILLED WITH SEEKERS

FARNAM AT
FIFTEENTH ST.
LETTERS FROM THE DEAD KAN
U. 8. 0. Knhn, Friend of George Griiwold,
Thinks Him Still Aim.
OTHERS HAVE RECEIVED MAIL FROM HIM
Steve Essex, of Dea Moines, Omaha
Man Says, Has Communicated with
Insurance Assent Since Re
port of Alleged Murder.
"I never did believe the body found In
the lHs Moines river was that of George
Grlswold and I do not believe it now,"
said V. S. a. Kuhn of 2809 Ohio stree:,
tiaveling salesman for the Regent Shots
Manufacturing company, and a personal
friend of Grlswold. "George was always
a good friend of mine, but I see no rea
son to shield him now, for If he is allvo
they mill get him soon T or later.
"While I never saw letters he has writ
ten, Steve Essex of Dea Moines, a per
sonal friend of both Grlswold and myself,
has told me several times of receiving
letters from George since t!ie time of his
alleged death and I have every reason to
believe he was telling the truth, aa he hod
no reason to be deceiving me.
"When the report was first out two
months ago that Grlswold was alive and
well, mutual friends of ours told me it
was so and that he had gone to the morguo
in Chicago where he had bought a stiff,
which he fixed up and threw in the river.
Ho picked up a body which would easily
be taken for him and after throwing it in
the river, disappeared.
"He had often told me his family af
fairs were not as pleasant as most peo
ple thought and told me he expected to
get out of Dea Moines as soon as pos
sible. He was badly in debt and had
forged several papers which were liable to
make him trouble and had a woman
scrape besides, so It behooved him to get
away.
Thinks Him Still Alive.
"I have no doubt this Is just what he did
and that he la now alive. People in Omaha
identified the body when it was brought
here for burial, but I don't see how they
could be certain In the identification, as
tho body had been In the river for so long
a time that it was badly decomposed, and
was surely beyond recognition.
