Milk Bottle Intact
Af ter Ride on Cyclone
The family of Joint Gant. Foi t.i -ninth
and Hickory streets tell of one of tho
strangest ot the' many freaks of the
storm. The members upon becoming
aware of the approach of the tornado had
barely time to reach a cyclone cellnr In
their yard, when tho house In which thev
lived was crushed to kindling. Before
the storm a full bottle of certified milk
for their two-month's old lulaut had
been pieced on a shelf In the intry of
tho house with tho pasteboard top set
at an angle to allow the air to rcvih the
contents. After tho fury of tho storm
had abated, Mr. GantK emerged from the
cellar and one of tho first sights that
greeted his eye was the bottle of milk
landing upright In the yard with ap
parently not a drop spilled and the paste
board top In the sHmo position In which
Mrs. Guntx had placed It hut A shoit
time before.

The stock of feed, however, In almost
every tcase, disappeared entirely, leaving
nb -.food, whateyer for the hungry ani
mals. ) A movement originating In The
' Beo office was started yesterday to soften
this added suffering of the patient dumb
creatures. Quantities of feed were started
in the right direction, led first by gen
erous contributions from the Younker
man Seed company.
Farmers living outside of the stricken
torrltory, and others desiring to thus
help, should communicate with Henry
Sperling on Bennett avenue, who has
been Indefatigable in relief work since
7 o'clock Sunday evening. He has taken
all of the men In his employ, half a
dozen In number, and has been going
about aiding In , erecting temporary
shelters for man ,and beast, using his
teams and automobile In hauling material
where needed. Ho Is thus In closer touch
than almost any others with the sorcet
spots and will promptly see to It that
everything sent to his place will go
directly and Immediately to where It Is
most needed.
Another modest hero who has like
wise abandoned all of his own business
Is Dr. James McRoberts, veterinary sur
goon. He spent all night after the storm
searching for crippled nnd imprisoned
animals, putting out of misery with a
merciful bullet those most cruelly man
gled, and skillfully caring for those that
could be healed. His work Is still In
progress, and he has made no effort to
learn the ownership of any except those
he deemed necessary to bring to his
hospital barns on Benton street. All ot
his work has been truly acts of mercy.
Some of the stories he tells nro heart
rending. Animals were found pinioned
beneath debris calling plteously for help.
Tuesday one big white horse was found
almost hidden by a mass ot uprooted
trees wound up with angles of barb wire
fencing and telephone wires. The barbs
were cutting Into the flesh of the ani
mal as It struggled for freedom. The
trees and wires were cut away and the
horse liberated and his wounds care-
fully dressed. Many animals were found
suffering from broken legs -and Dr. . Mc-
'. Roberts has cared for many of tliese
without caring who might be their own
ers. He tells of the scarcity of food
for the stock lit the devastated districts,
especially In the vicinity of the Great
Western trestle.

Willis Crosby last night to a Bee repre

"Every undertaker In Omaha worked

RELIEF WORKERS FEAST
ON BEAN SANDWICHES
Union Pacific Will
Rebuild Men's Homes
Bearers of hard luck stories, refugees
driven from the storm devastated dis
tricts by dire necessity, retailers of piti
ful tules of death nnd Injuries to loved
ones, and piteous appeals for money to
pay for having their unburled dead de
cently laid away, flooded Council Bluffs
yesterday, especially toward the latter
part of the day. By 1Q o'clock last night
about fifty of them were In the city Jail
and tired police officers wero still chas
ing others. Kinks In crooked limbs und
limps from bruised members quickly dls
appeared when a bluecoat appeared, and
about twlco as many ot the fakirs
escaped orrest as were gathered In.
Bums and hoboes aro flocking In from
all directions to reap tho hajvest the
Imagine to have ripened. The "men are
all charged with vagruncy. Thirty were
arrested In the first hour. A number of
them had artificial bruises and fearful
looking wounds that vanished under the
application of soap arid water. That u
good number of the fakirs are profes
sional or natural thieves Is also undoubted.
One who had Industriously worked the
town, showing what appeared to be a
badly Injured hand and a stage limp,
worked every houso along Washington
avenue, In the vicinity ot Benton and
North First street, and showed that 'lie
was an alert house thief. He was found
In the house by Mrs. B. I. Gtbbs, 111
Washington avenue.
Any persons soliciting for storm suf
ferers except thoso designated by relief
commltteos may be safely classed as
Imposters. Thoso In charge of thov relief
work are finding It to be almost Impos- 1
slbla to Induce those who really need
help to come to the headquarters In the
Merrlam block and take away the great
quantities of stuff that Is accumulating
there.
Thero was no pie, but only a dried bean
sandwich for T. V. Redmond, Frank Mc
Caffery and others stationed at Relief
station No. 4 when dinner time came.
Somo kind lady appreciating tlio hard
work the men in charge of the relief
station, wero doing, baked four pies for
them. She carried them to tho station
In a basket covered with a ' nice white
cloth. Tho men wero busy dispensing
food stuffs and clothing to a number of
people, among whom was a colored
woman. When the colored woman gath
ered up the shoes, clothing and foods
they had furnished her, someone noticed
she had also gathered up the basket of
pies. She was starting for the door when
someone detected her. No one had the
heart to stop her, so she got the pies
and the relief men got the bean sandwiches.
CHIEF DUNN'S VOICE CALLS
DOWN WRATH FROM ABOVE
Chief of Police Henry Dunn so firmly
believes that he Is a "Jinx" to churches
that ho Is about on the point of making
u resolution never to again sing In one.
Dunn sang In Rev. C. W. Savldge'n
church at Twenty-second and Seward
streets several years ago and It was de
stroyed by a storm shortly after. Five
years mro tho chief sang In the choir of
the Monmouth Park church und a few
days later it was struck by lightning and
partly demolished.
Recently he sang at the Plymouth
church, Twentieth nnd Spencer streets,
and this houso of worsmp was entirely
