This gloomy cloud above and the
white, hot debris below is all that is
left out a million dollars worth of
property.
Through the night of fire the wind
bore in from the southeast. Early In
the morning, jutt before the dawning
of day, the wind completely buxed the
compass and settled into a heavy blow
from the northwest.
The Independent Elevator, ownea
by the Chicago Great Western rail
road, was In imminent danger, but
withstood the flames.
The loss cannot be stated with abso
lote accuracy. So far as Is known the
chief losses are:
Nye Scnnelder Kowler com
pany, elevator $200,000
Grain lu same 200,000
Maney Milling company 190.000
Loss to box cars and contents,
estimated 250,000
The art started In the Nye-Schneider-Fowler
elevator and the flames spread
from there. The other buildings
were Involved one after another,
and the high wind drove blazing
south eud of the city, so that at one
shingles and bits of wood over the
time more th-in a dozen fires were In
progress. It will amount to very nearly
$1,000,000. Most of the losses will be
covered by Insurance.
The fire was accompanied by many
spectaculp.. features. Explosions from
the Maney mill, caused by mill dust
and falling walls, caused much excite
ment. Blazing cascades of grain from
the elevators ran out onto the railroad
tracks and Impeded the work of the
firemen. Householders were busy ex
tinguishing the flames In their home
roofs. 1
' All the tire apparatus ot Omaha and
South Omaha was called (lnto service,
but the only fight that could be made
was to prevent the flames spreading.
Nothing could be done towards saving
the burning buildings.
Only two slight accidents were re
ported, and no loss of life.
FLAMES START IN COOLING
ROOM OF BIG ELEVATOR
Discovered bj Nlejht Watchman
Bolaer and Made Kapld Head
war In BIk Wind.
Flames were first discovered In the cool
ing room of the Nyo-Schnelder-Fowler
elevator at U:S0 o'clock by the night
manager, George Wyrlck, 1710 Monroe
street. He was just making hla rounds,
beginning at the ground floor and work
ing upwards. In another part of the build
ing vii W, W. Bolaer. 1624 Cass atreet,
the night watchman. Both men turned In
alarms.
. "I had Just opened the door to the cool
ing room on the second floor when the
flames burst upon me," he said. "The
cooling room was then a blazing furnace
and I could see that It was burning
fiercely. The Under-like material waa
simply a mass ot flames.
"My first act waa to' try to reach the
flre alarm box In the stairway. The fire,
however, was so Intense about me that I
was unable to reach It. I then went to
the telephone in the office and - notified
company No. 6. which waa first on the
scene."
B. B, Bolser, the night watchman, was
In the south end of the building. He was
attracted by the blaze about the same time
that Wyrlck first saw the flamea and
turned In an alarm by telephone.
Flames Make Hapld Headway.
"The fire made rapid headway In the
cooling room," said Bolser. "It seemed no
time at all before the entire first floor waa
ablaze with the flamea quickly spreading
to the north wing and the stories above.
"It was scarcely a halt hour before the
blazing torches were carried by the wind
to the freight cara in 'the yards and in a
few mlnuteH long trains of empties and
loaded cara were in flames.
"Fire broke out in the Maney mill within
a few minutes after the flamea communi
cated to the freight cara. Windows In the
Maney mill melted In the fierce heat and
glowing embers were carried Into the Under-like
Interior of the building. Within a
fw momenta the Nye-Schnelder-Fowler
elevator, the Maney mill and the frleght
yards were ab'.aze.
"Crossed wires, spontaneous combustion
and even Incendiary origin are given as
causes- ot the conflagration. The most
plausible of these aeema to be that ot
Crossed wires In the cooling room of the
Nye-Schnelder-Fowler elevator.
"I can assign no other reason for ths
origin than that of crossed electric wires,"
said Wyrlck, the night manager. "When I
opened the big door to the cooling room I
faced a blazing furnace. If spontaneous
combustion caused the blaze I do not think
It would have gained such great leeway."
August Netzel, K09 Oak street, and his
sister were among the first of the neigh
boring residents to see the flamea. Netzel
sounded an alarm to the Omaha fire de
partment by telephona
"My first attention to the blaze was at
tracted by what seemed to be a bonfire
at tlie northeast corner of the building,"
said the sister ot August Netzel. "It was
on ths ground and In no time had com
municated to the building. I am sure
there were flamea cn the ground before f
they burst oul fiyni the building proper.
tt ce-'tairity 'looked ' very much to me as
though the fire esarted frm the outside."
- This" theory tend re-rire Hauls he
belief that the b'tse aaa of Incendiary
origin. In the excitement o? the night,
however.- nothing, definite was gtren out
by firemen or management as to the cause.
Marts la Psrslsg Grata.
Employes of 'tt. Xye-tfchnelder-Fowler
company say thai. i.the fire seen on the
ground by Miss Ne'.zel was burning grain
that had fallen from the windows of the
second floor, afeere, they assert, the fire
I had Its origin. '
! At 1 a. m. It was patent that the Nye
. Schneidor-Fowler-elevator, the Maney mill
' and the hundred or more freight cars In
the yards were djomed to destruction
Streams of water that played upon the
blaze had about as much effect as would
aster from a sprinkling can.
From that time on the firemen centered
their attention to freight cars In ths yards
and to nearby residences. Houses on South
I Twenty-eighth Street were soaked with
i aater as thoroughly as the meager force
of water woulif permit. i
S3 low was the pressure In the pipe, how
ever, that hoeer jay limp on the ground
, with scarcely .enough pressure to throw a
stream of any force, ilea dents In the
neighborhood fre up Iti arms eron after
ihe flames bioke out and were busy on the
roofs of tneir dwellings with buckets of
water quenching sparks whenever' they
would alight on the dry roofs. By this
single-hand method many dwellings wero
saved from destruction.
slee-l Vllhs:an:a Fire.
The mammoih elevaioiS o: tiio Independ
ent Elevator company and the granaries
of the Chicago Great vstern ranroad
with their steel construction withstood the
flames and tr.t neat and were thus saved
from destruction. Tfrese- structures, how
ever, were scorcned by the fierce heat and
the paint was warped from the sides ot
the buildings.
Soon aftti the fire brok'e out every switch
engine in the Union Pacific yaids was
rushed to the scene. These were quickly
coupled onto the cars standing In the
danger sone and hauled' to aldlngs south
of the Vinton street viaduct.
The work of hauling freight cars wss
spectacular In Itself. In maay Instances
puffing little switch engines would dive Into
the furnace-like h)it and nervy brakemen
would . make the couplings, secure. Cars
that had been unharmed by the flames
were thus drawn safely away from the
fire. Blazing cars that had been drawn
awp.y from the fire were then pushed
back Into the seething mass aa they were
doomed to destruction. J
Traffic over the t'nlon Pacific, Burling
ton, Great Western, Northwestern and
Kock Island track's was necessarily' sus
pended from, the time the fire brokje out
until all danger was past. .
Hundred Cars ' Lust.
James Hodge, secretary to George W.
Holdrege, general manager of the Burling
ton route, was early on the scene. lAr.
Hodge estimates the number of cars
destroyed by the fire at approximately 100.
"The loss in rolling stock will be heavy,"
said Mr. Hodge. "Roughly, I should say,
there are about 100 cats of various klnda
on the tracks within the fire zone. How
marfy of these wer loaded or empfy 1 do
not know."
Taking the average cost of a freight
cat ftH 13,000. ihalrMk-'-'Tb the railroads . la

$200,000.
MANY HOMES'THREATENED BY
FLIGHT-OF BLAZING EMBERS

FlrRaaed.
A series or1 contests wltfl fires that threat
ened through , spark . contagion from the
main conflagration took 'place' along the
west and north aides of tha doomed terri
tory. More than twe'nty-flve houses were
at times Ignited, to ba saved by hasty work
by hand brigades. ' "
The home' of Jerry Bond, 8016 South
Twenty-eighth street, was tha most en
dangered, by lta proximity to tha heart of
the Nye.Schneider-Fowler fire. This home
was the first to be emptied. ' Furniture was
tossed out Into the street, while the deni
zens of the poultry, roosts were rudely
awakened to be carried squaklng through
the tumult into tha front yard.
Bucketa of water dashed against the ex
posed sides Of the house kept the fire' from
Igniting the blistering patnt. Similar scenes
obtained at the other homes In the en
dangered row' along the east' side of Twenty-eighth
street.
Likewise, too,' the family of John Beoha
spent a night In the open all- with his Lares
and Penates huddled around him. Tha Becha
home was not in such grave danger as the
Bond, but there were great masses of flame
within short distance and the rain ot sparks
on sheds and outhouses kept everyone in a
state of agitation which lasted for hours.
Next door is the home of W. F. Green
nd that household, too, gathered lta
goods and chattels In the front "yard and
prepared to move them at a minute's no
tice.' The excitement and alarm for which
there was genuine cause, also Included the
Emll Komatke house 'next south from the
Green rfsldence. i
All these houses are on the brink of the
hill, which falls sheer nearly 100 feet.
In the threatened row stood the home of
C. K. Boyd, 2999, and A. C. McKenna, 3001
I South Twenty-eighth; both, the property
of C. F. Kruger or Auburn, 8. D. Neither
were damaged by the fins although often
threatened. The heat from the main blase
so close by, "made the work of protection
which at this point was carried on by
'the firemen, almost unbearable.
A girl sat at the piano, which stood In
the front yard at the home of John Becha,
W06 of "danger row," rattling off catches
of popular tunea amid the confusion of the
battle with the flames.
Miss Bessie Becha was among ,the flrat
to see the fire after It was discovered by
the night watch.
"I was sitting In the parlor when a friend
noticed the glow," said Miss Becha. "We
ran out onto the back porch and flames
were then Just shooting up from the bot
tom of the elevator where It started. It
looked to me as though it was right at the
bottom on the ground. It seemed to spread
over the building before we could turn
around to go In the house and call the
folks."
The shower of sparks and firebrands
swept over the west side ot Omaha extend
ing far li.to the Hapscom park district,
wh$e the residents were In Imminent
fear their homes would catch.
Many property ownera put out Incipient
blasea with buckets and In numberless
cases they paoked their valuables in port

ing force concentrated on the big fire the
chance of putting out an outlying blase
would oe small.

Flames, rich ruddy red, rising between
belches of heavy smoke white with the
vapor of the simmering grain, gave the
fire almost a volcanic aspect. From th'
comparatively Insignificant beginning ai
tha Nye-Schnelder-Fowler warehouse, with
in less than a halt hour the entire build
Ing waa sheathed In a coat of fire. Tongue
of fire reached 100 feet Into the air. over
an area ot nearly four blocks, when ttv
fire became general.
The vast Column of superheated air rls
ing from the canyon-llbe hollow In whlcl,
the buildings stood created a draft that
augmented the effects of the stiff breeze
from the southeast. In this rising current
masses of burning matter from the heart
of the furnace Into which the sheetiron
buildings were transformed were sucked
like cartridges Into a pneumutic tube
falling high Into the air column above to
a point where again the prevailing wind
became tha chief component of force, these
floating brands were tossed out over the
city over a district of ten blocks. Countlees
minor flrea started among the dwellings
lying to the -north' of the fire. In this
danger cone householders and spectators
fought to extinguish the fires that started
from the sparks. It was ceaseless vigil.
Bxploslon tbe Climax.
As the fire gained force it brcame more
spectacular, reaching a climax when the
explosion in the Maney mills plant came.
Tons of red hot brick and flaming sheets
of lumber were thrown 100 feet up to burst
into a cloud Of tclntilatlng sparks.
The glare of the mighty conflagration
waa reflected in the sky for many miles.
Thousands Ot the curious lined the bluffs,
viaducts, rooft and other points of van
tage around the tire zone. Automobiles
and carriages poured In from distant
suburbs bearing parties of sightseers who
lingered long. Among these Indifferent
spectators mingled anxious fo.k whose
home and fortunes were involved In the de
vastation going on before them.
Gaa from Uraln Helps.
Seething heaps ot frying grain generated
volumes of gas and vapor which rose
with the roar of a little Vesuvius to be
whipped Into ribbons by the wind. The
racing streamers ot vapor reflected back
the glara from the pit of distraction be
low. 'Down along the tracks that wove in
and out among tha burning building stood
lines ot box cars which soon caught up
the flames to become ready avenuves of
further communication. Trains of fire
raced down the yards to pointa where in
dividual .fights could oe made on the cars.
Switching crews arrived too late to save
many cars.
Whistles from tie answering engine
signals screamed, through tha roar of tha
flames and crashing walls.
Hoarse cries of the firemen and fire
fighter pierced the crumbling undertone of
the thousands of voices of tha spectators.
Fire engines raced and puffed and careened
along .tha streets approaching the fire zone
in the desperate struggle for water they
could not get.
Jke battle was one, but, hopeless,, from
11:30 o'clock, when the alarm came, until
the last of the buildings In the avenue ot
fire fell it was a battle, but a losing one.
Efforts to quell the tire, once It gripped a
building, were futile.
Independent Elevator Stands.
Standing stern and bold against the seeth
ing fields of fire loomed the heights of the
Independent Elevator company's plant, a
fireproof structure of steel. Within the
heated grain In. the storage compartments
stewed and steamed, pouring forth fumes
at the crevlcea and laps of the expansive
wall. Each ot the long row of cylindrical
storage tanka became a cauldron, but the
big elevator stood like a castle staunchly
standing while lta besiegers fretted about.
The walls of the grim black elevator
reared themselves in contrast made con
spicuous by the flashes of light that came
with the enlivening of the fire by falling
walls and exploding tanka.
The tall hulk of the Nye-Schnelder-Fow-ler
elevator stood long after the works of
destruction had spent its final ruin. The
lingering walla gave way gradually from
the top after the caving ot the roof. A
aeries of grain compartments ripped open,
the one after the other in tha progress of
the crumbling. As each gave way cascades
ot thousands of bushels of burning grain
poured down the sides to feed the con
flagration beneath.
Bhowera of stars and weird fantastic
figures formed themselves in tha wild toss
ing of the fire.
Firemen In Great Danger.
Tottering walls came near to bearing
down a squad of firemen to death In the
fight at the point of origin. Boring In
with their hose lines a squad of the fire
laddies had worked up close to the west
side of the elevator when sheets ot flaming
lumber came down with the weakening of
the undermined roof,
James F rush a, company No. 10, Omaha,
and John Uallaghan, company No. li, were
eaught by the deadly avalanche as they
started on their none too esrly retreat at
the warning cry from the throng at a safe
distance above. They were both burned
painfully, but not dangerously, Prusha waa
sent to his home suffering with burns and
bruises about the face and neck. Gallag
han, who came off lighter, was given a bit
of emergency treatment and continued In
the battle.
Bolser Loses His Doc
Tha life ot "Jlp," pet terrier belonging
to B. B. Bolser, night watchman for the
Nye-Schnelder-Fowler company, was sacri
ficed In the fir. The firs swept into the
shed where stood his master's horse and
buggy, but "Jlp" stood his ground aa a
brave dog should. He stayed by the buggy
when his master led the frightened, plung
ing horse out.
When Bolser returned to release the little
terrier from hla vigil It waa too late. The
dog had gone down at his pott.
Bolser stood long looking Into the ruins
of the elevator. "Glad I saved the horse,
but that was an awful good dog," was the
only comment ha had to make. He bit down
hard on his pipestem and turned away. .
. At 1.20 three sides or ma Nye-8chnelder
elevator had collapsed. The only portion
of the .elevator then remaining was the
northeast corner.
The fall of the west end removed the
Bond residence out of the Immediate danger
zone, but the firemen continued on the
root to throw water on it. Early in the
night all the furniture had been removed.
Palls of water were used for soaking the
roofs of tha other cottages on the west
side of the blsze.
AsslsUnt Chief Dlneen said that If there
had been sufficient water pressure the
Maney mill could hava been aaved. "It
was set on fire," be said, "by aparka from
the . elevator, but we could not reach the
flamea on tha roof with the water."
In the "crovd various expressions were
heard whlrh were dohtlejs tlneturd with
the Intoxicating excitement of the a of
flames. A- gruff run n on the ll nearest
the oar barns ws heaid to remsik: "Oo.d
work. I'm glad of It. I wish every d d
elevator In town would burn dtwn." He
wss swallmed up in (he crowd before h
could be reached, but he apparently gloated
over the vanishing wealth. Most of the
comments sere In quite tbe nppndte vein.
The Omeha Council Bluffs Street Rall-
ay rompnny maintained an extra car
service until 4 o'clock, both noith and
siuth. From South Omnha It seemed that
nearly the half of the city turned out to
watch the cbnf lagration. The Vinton car
barn sent out twelve extra cars. The last
of the sprciators wsited for an hour at
Twenty-fourth and Vinton for the first
cara of the morning.
FIGHT FORljONTROL BRINGS
OUT DEPARTMENT GALLANTRY
Firemen Wage Remarkable Conflict
with Flames to Cheek tne
Threatened Spread.
The efforts of tne firemen were soon
turned from the attempt to quell the fire
into a campaign of control. The attack
on the flames In the Nye-Schnelder-Fowler
building proved the futility of effort 'in
th.it direction.
Ranged along the borders where effective
work might be done the firemen lined up
with hose and buckets to stop the spiteful
little blazes from the fslllng sparks.
Fourteen Omaha companies responded to
the three alnrms sent In and two South
Omaha companies came In to help In the
flhiit. L'nable to got water many of the
firemen and much of the apparatus was
rendered of no effect.
The closing fight on the fire was con
