Special trains am troops were rushed to the Bcene. Early Monday evening a aeries of equinoctial gales of varying inten sity began sweeping through the Missouri valley and Middle West, leaving ruin in their path. At least six States sustained heavy, damage. Terre Haute, Indiana, reports a death list in that vicinity which may reach fifty. Towns in Iowa, Illinois, KansaB, Oklahomf, and Missouri were effected. .. Wire communication with Omaha was broken shortly after 6 o'clock Monday evening and since that time only a few dispatches could be sent over roundabout routes. That the city and suburbs sustained great damage is certain. One of the dis patches received via Lincoln des cribed the path of the tornado as being. '*eight miles long and from four to six blocks wide." United States troops from Port Omaha were immediately called out, it was said, and the stricken zone put un deV praotical martial law. The National Red Cross has vol unteered Its service for the injur ed and Gov. Morehead, of Nebras ka, left Lincoln early today, per sonally to aid In the relief work.
