building practicing the music for the
svcnlng service at tho time when tho
cyclone Btruck. Ho looked up and saw
the roof moving off nnd then he made a

mjAUch,. Of this church nothing but tho
Sorter is standing.
Six people nrc known to have been
killed and many Injured in the vicinity
of Lake Mnnawn. nnd along the Mos
quito creek valley.
The first loss of life apparently oc
curred on South Avenuo near tho lown
School for tho Deuf. The fine suburban
residence of Mr. and Mrs. J. It. Itlce nt
the Itlce nursery, was demolished and
Air. and Mrs. nice Instantly killed.
Nearby was the cottage of Wllllnm Poole
and it was ntso destroyed and Mrs. Poolo
wns killed, while her aged husband m?
badly Injured. Tho wreckage of the nice
home cuught fire, but neighbors whose
homes were outside of tho stricken dis
trict hurried there und succeeded In get
ting them out beforo tho flro had
reached them. Both were dead.
The homo of Mr. and Mrs. Bcliultz near
the old Green packing houses and on the
Beno farm was destroyed and both of tho
old peoplo wore killed. Tho residence of
their son, a short distance away, was
entirely destroyed with tho exception of
the floor. In one room when the storm
struck were tho husband and wife and
their six children. Not a vestige of the
houso remained above them but they were
left huddled on the floor, arid not one of
them received tho slightest Injury.
Further up the Mosquito creek valley
was tho house of August Norgaard, nn
engineer on the Chicago. Great Western
railroad, which was destroyed, and a
little b.aby In the arms of the mother was
Instantly killed, and the mother badly In
jured. So far as could be learned last
night this was the extent of the fatalities,
but there will undoubtedly be others.
The work of rescuing parties that
flocked to the scenes of devastation was
greatly hampered by the enormous
amount of tangled wreckage which
blocked the roadways. It took two hours
for a largo force of railroad linemen to
cut a way through the tangled mass of
telegraph wires and poles to got across
tho Milwaukee, Itock Island nnd Great
Western tracks before the physicians und
others could reach the sites of" tho lo
stroyed buildings on the Beno farm.
Whero thero were not wires and poles
there word trees plied In Inextricable con
fusion all along the highways. Tho In
tense darkness added to the difficulties
In forcing a passage by those who sought
to make their way afoot.
l'hyalclann Are All Called.
Calls for physlalans came from all di
rections and all of tho ambulances In the
city were sent to gather up tho wounded
who could be located. At 11 o'clock there
names wero reported from the various
hospitals where they had been taken.
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hannan and
daughter.
William Poole and Miss Poole.
Mrs. Baker.
Mr. Messmore nnd two daughters.
Mrs. Bishop.
All of these Injured were gathered up
In the Immediate vicinity of the Beno
farm and along the creek in the vicinity
of McPherson avenue,rThere wero a num
ber of others more or less seriously in
jured who wero cared for at neighboring
houses.
At Manawa, F. II. Hawkins, an aged
man, .and his son, Hosca Hawklne, were
b.adly hurt, and several other members
i' the family were liijun.l ulicn tnc'r
home was demolished. The building tood
just south ami east of the Beck place on
the outskirts of tho Shady grove. The two
named were so badly Injured that an
ambulance was sent for them later in
the night. None of the club buildings at
Mnnawa was damaged with the exception
of a small structure. The old Murks club
house east of th l'lsh and Game 'lull
building wns scattered over the surround
Ing country.
When the destroyed windings nlong
South Avenue caught flro an alarm was
turned In but the fire teams that re
sponded were unable to mal.o their way
through the mud and stuck fast half way.
The big automobile truck had responded
to. the' call from Omaha before the dis
aster was known to have occurred here,
but It likewise would have been tumble
to reach tho scene of devastation owing
to tho blocking of tho roads by tho wire
and pole wreckage.
Reports that the Iowa School for the
Deaf hud suffered scveroly proved to be
Inaccurate. A terrific gale struok them
but they withstood the shock, but tho
country for a mile north nnd east was
swept clenn.
The damage to the Wilcox greenhouses
at Manawn was serious. Tho houses are
sixty feet wide and l.Of) feet long, and
several portions were wrecked
The Hock Island. Milwaukee and Great
Western railroad suffered severely. The
long trestlo of tho Great Western over
Mosquito creek wns partly wrecked. Not
a telegraph or telephone wire east from
Council Bluffs wns left standing, nnd
scores of reports Indicating death and
destruction could not be verified. One re
port whs that tho town of Weston was
destroyrd, but there was no means of
verifying It. It 1b not believed, however,
that the storm extended that far cast.
Thero wero no trains In or out over the
Milwaukee or ltock Island tracks, both of
which run through tho village. Linemen
attempting to restabllsh communication
found only tangles of wires and poles.
The dwelling of Mr. and Mrs. Wright
was blown n quarter of n mile nnd both
were killed.
The house of Lon Thomas was blown
fifty feet and caught afire. Mrs.
Thomas, who was In tho building, was
burned to death, and the baby boy
escaped with his leg broken.
Huge Sign Felled
By Power of Storm
The terrific wind of Sunday night caused
the largo electric sign of the Luxas
Brewing company to topple over, the
only damage being tho sign. Two large
windows of the Western Union were
broken ns was the window of the Itock
Island ticket office.

After a prolonged Illness Uncle Davo
Atxlerson of South Omaha died thu
morning at S o'clock. The end came
easily and the members of the Immediate
family were present. Ho was St years
of age.
David Anderson waa horn In a log
cabin on tho hanks of the Brnndywlne
In Chester county. Pennsylvania. Ho was
of revolutionary stock his grandfather
having served under "Mad" Anthony
Wayne. His father was a uoldler under
"Old Hickory" Jackson at the battle of
New Orleans In 1812, while his great uncle.
John Hart, was one of the signers of the
Declaration of Independence.
At IS years of age David Anderson left
his home and went to sirve an apprentice
ship in Philadelphia, whero ho remained
four years. At tho ago of 19 he began his
travels, which carried 1dm through most
of the southern and western states. In
1S64, he married Miss Mnry H. Denver of
Nntchei, Miss. Two ytam later he at
tended tho first national convention of
tho republican party to which he adhered
from Its birth to his own death. It wns
tho proud boost of Uncle Davo In his
later yoara that ho had voted for every
republican president from Lincoln to Taft
and In his old age his bitter dtnunrtitlona
wero reserved for tho men who left the
party principles to follow political will-o'-the-wlsps.
I.enves I'lttMburifh by Mont.
Mr. Anderson left the east In 1SW. when
together with nlno other venturesome
spirits he pushed beyond the Allegheny
mountains, crossing Canastota peak, and
then coming by boat from Pittsburgh,
Pa., to Leavenworth, Kan. Ho crossed the
plains and stopped on the present site
of Denver. A few pioneers preceded the
arrival of Mr. Anderson and his company,
who immediately began the erection of
Denver's first buildings which Undo Davo
painted. Ho was the first to own nnd
operate a imil route In tho Hooky moun
tains nnd discovered the only feasible
wagon road through what Is now called
Eight Mile gulch.
In Denver Uncle Dave became ac
quainted with and counted among his
friends Green Uursell, who made the first
gold discovery in that tectlon; Amm
Stock, pioneer postmaster of Denver, und
Kit Carson. Ho was ono of tho original
holders of the Denver townalte, owning
thirty-two lots.
In 1861 Uncle Davo removed with his
family to the Platte valley, eight mllau
east of what Is now Columbus, Neb. r'lf-,
teen years later he moved his family to
Columbus, whero ho became a stock
shipper, at ono time holding tho distinc
tion of being the biggest stock shipper
in the state. When tho Stock Shippers'
association was formed In South Omilia
In 1885, Uncle Dave was elected vice pres.
Ident. He was a patron of the packing
house and stock yards of South Omaha
In the Infantile period of tho live stock
Industry In this state.
Enter Ileal UMnte nunlncaa
Uncle Dave took up his residence 'n
South, Omaha In 1886, where, after estab
llshtnff a resldenoe for himself and his
family, he engaged In the real estate and
loan business, continuing until a tew
months ago, when ho disposed of the
loan business. Always progressive, ne
believed In the future of Omaha and was i
Identified with the building Interests and
public Improvements of the Magic City
He held the offices of county rommlv !
sloncr, school director and tax assessor
and, though never seeking office, alwaVH
maintained an active Interest In repub
lican politics. Organizing the first South
Omaha republican club, Uncle Dave main
tained a patriarchal supervision over it
until the day of his death and even when
feeble Insisted on attending Its meetings.
Ho' was a member of the Nebraska State
Historical society, the Pioneers of Ne
braska, Pennsylvania Society of Omaha
and the Independent Order of Odd Fel
lows of South Omaha.
Special Oar Oares
For the Dogs of Mrs,
Melcomb Whitman
Mrs. Melcomb WlUtman, nee MIsb Jen
nlo Crocker of Cnllfomla, passed through
Omaha with a string of pet dogs yester-
I day afternoon. The Pullman company
had refused her passage with tho brutes
unless she chocked them as baggage, but
It touched her affections to see them
travel In so ordinary a style nnd so be
fore leaving Chicago for tho Pacific coast
she chartered the private car Mlshawuka
and purchased the necessary eighteen full
fare tickets and went on her way In
peaco with her pets. She arrived hare
yesterday afternoon over the Northwest
ern line and left shortly afterwards on
Union Pacific train No. 16.
Several attendants were necessary to
look after the assortment, and among
the comments expressed by the gating
public was one from the Hps of a little
urchin In tattered clothes who wished he
too could be such a well cared for dog.

Among those who did heroic work dur
ing tho storm wore W. M. BUchle and
his father, E. A. IUtchle, an automobile

home at SIOO Center Into the btreit during
the worst of the storm and carried tho
two little children of A. A. Allen from
their wrecked hnie opposite the Ritchie

"I shall never, forget how I felt as I
waded through the littered streets with
that little child In my arms," said the
younger nitchle last night. "Wo were

once both my father and myself had to
