The Tribune notes show extensive debris and destruction from a fierce storm. Front porches failed, trees and chimneys toppled, and several homes suffered damage including Frank Gigray and Mrs. Kiddoe’s properties. Oak and elm withstood better while box elder and maple trees suffered.
Tribune Publishes First Storm Extra After Outage
By ten o'clock Tuesday morning the Tribune issued a full storm report as the only extra on the streets. The public welcomed the enterprise while lines were down and daily papers lagged. The extra went by train to most county towns and orders at Humphrey & Dull were to be promptly filled at Buffington's Feed Store.

Drowning of Leach Boy at Keg Creek
Five year old Charles Leach fell from a Vine street bridge into the swollen Keg Creek during Friday’s high water. Despite days of search with dynamite and drifting wood, authorities failed to reach him until Monday evening when the body was found floating below the Pettinger bridge. The family, from Omaha moving after contract work, mourns a sad loss.
