FORMER HONESDALE BOY SAW
OMAHA TORNADO
ROBERT G. CROSSLEY, SON OP
THOMAS CROSSIjEV OF THIS
PLACE, WRITES.
Could Sec Hugo Yellow Funnel Shap
ed Cloud Pass Through City Less
Thnn Ten Minutes' Duration
Swept Path Tlireo Allies Wide.
The following letter was, received
a few days ago In compliance to a
request sent to Mr. Robert G. Cross
ley, son of Thomas Crossley, of this
place, who Is In Omaha, Neb., by The
Citizen. It Is a vivid and graphic ac
count of the tornado which struck
that city on the evening of March
16th, resulting in loss of life and do
ing millions of dollars of damage to
property. In only one other in
stance has it been equalled In the
country.
My Dear Ed:
Complying with your request of
the 25th Inst., I am pleased to fur
nish a brief story of the awful catas
trophe which visited the city of
Omaha and its environs on the even
ing of March 16th.
At ten minutes to six In the even
ing, at tho close of a sultry day, a
tornado struck the city. It had the
appearance of a huge yellow funnel
shaped cloud and was accompanied
by a roar that ras terrific. Its speed
was so great that In less than ten
minutes it had passed completely
through tho city from southwest to
northeast, laying waste a strip six
miles long and a quarter of a mile
wide and either partially or wholly
destroying seventeen hundred
homes. Street cars stopped, tele
phones were out of service and the
city was in darkness. Then from the
suburb in which I reside we observed
the skyline In the north, east and
south become red as fire started to
complete tho work of destruction.
A heavy fall of rain In the wake
of the tornado doubtless prevented
greater loss of life and property as
thirty-five fires were reported In the
devastated district within as many
minutes and the firemen were unable
to get their engines within fighting
distance of the flames and stumbled
through the wreckage carrying their
hose on their shoulders only to find
water plugs covered by tons of de
bris. To add to the horror, victims
of the disaster, over the entire storm
swept area, pinned under the wreck
age, were pleading for rescue before
the flames should reach them.
At Fort Omaha, about a mile
northwest of tho path of the storm,
Major Carl F. Hartman, commander
In charge, saw the tornado passing'
over the city, and, without waiting'
for request or formal orders brought
his men, two hundred in number, on
tho double quick Into the storm area.
This was tho first organized aid to
reach the scene.' In the meantime
volunteers from the surrounding ter
ritory were working heroically to
rescue the injured and maimed from
the wreckage. Lives were freely
risked to save life, homes of rich and
poor alike were thrown open to the
sufferers. Within an hour's time the
hospitals were all filled to overflow
ing and before day light Monday
morning more than one hundred and
ten bodies had been taken from the
stricken district. The list of dead
has since grown to one hundred and
thirty-seven and more than three
hundred and fifty were seriously In
jured. Data carefully compiled by the
committee in charge of relief work
indicates that 2,200 persons were
made homeless, 2,000 houses were
wrecked and of this number 650 were
totally demolished with an aggregate
property loss of $7,500,000-. Cash
contributions for the relief work to
date amount to $152,000. Five hun
dred automobiles, their use donated
by their owners, are engaged in con
veying supplies and aid to the needy
and suffering. One hundred twenty
union carpenters to-day donated
their services. School buildings were
badly damaged, eleven churches were
wrecked and three convents partial
ly destroyed. A children's home was
almost demolished and several of the
children, blown through tho win
dows, were killed.
The work of relief is In charge of
a committee of fifty from which has
been selected an executive committee
of seven. The devastated district
was thoroughly canvassed and a rec
ord secured of every family together
with their Immediate needs. Six re
lief stations were established In vari
ous parts of tho district and from
these stations supplies of all kinds
food, clothing, bedding and furniture
have been freely furnished to those
needing them.
While a week has elapsed since the
tornado the full enormity of tho de
vastation has Just begun to bo felt.
For several days after tho storm
Omaha as, a business centre was
parallzed while friend sought for
friend and mourning relatives bur
led their dead.
Never before has Omaha or Ne
braska been visited by so great a ca
lamity. In only one or two instances
lias it been equalled In the country.
Though the full enormity of the loss
of life and homes Is known, the
mourning for lost ones, the grief and
despair over wrecked homes and for
tunes can only be healed by time.
If space would permit unnumbered
deeds of heroism could bo told,
scenes pitiful and heartrending de
scribed, conditions or misery, suffer
ing and utter despair, such as 1 would
not believe could exist had I not per
sonally observed them, depleted. The
details in all their horror can only
be realized by personal observation
and once seen will never be forgot
ten. Sincerely yours,
R. G, CROSSLEV.

JOSEPH JOBLESKE HELD ON
SUSPICION
EVADES ANSWERING QUESTIONS
OF DISTRICT ATTORNEY AND
INVESTIGATION ORDERED.
Clause Greenwnldt, Farmer, of Cher
ry Ridge, Makes Charges of As
sault and Battery Hearing Held
Friday-
Joseph Jobleski, alias Mike No
vetch, who was put In the county
lock-up Thursday morning, after be
ing brought to Honesdale by Clause
Gleenwaldt, a farmer living on the
Murray farm in Cherry Ridge, was
given a hearing before 'Squire R. A.
Smith Friday afternoon. Green
waldt preferred charges of assault
and battery on the man. He claimed
that Jobleski came to his farm
Thursday morning and thinking
there, was no one at home, proceeded
to let the cows and horses out of tho
barn. Greenwaldt's daughter, Gus
sle, aged nineteen years of age, told
the man to stop, but Instead of stop
ping the man picked up a big club
and came at the girl. Miss Green
waldt ran and the Polander followed
for a distance of about sixty rods.
Just then the father of the girl ar
rived and started after the Polander.
A chase of about half a mile brought
him 'up to the man who suddenly
stopped and tried to pick up a club
but before he could do so, Green
waldt was upon him. Two blows on
the head of the Polander made him
submissive and ho quietly followed
Greenwaldt to the house where the
latter hitched up and brought tho
man here.
Jobleski said he was from Scran
ton and came to Wayne county for
work, having came all the way on
foot. At first he had to have an In
terpreter but afterwards was found
that he could talk fairly good Eng
lish and was questioned in that lan
guage. The general belief was that
the man was crazed, but from his
speech and his evident desire to con
ceal something led the district at
torney to believe that the man had
left Scranton for some reason which
he did not wish to relate. Ho was
therefore held without bail until af
ter the next meeting of the grand
jury, to give time for an investiga
tion.
Jobleski stated that ho had let tho
cows and horses out of tho barn so
that they could get something to eat.
He said that he believed they were
hungry. He said he did not chase
tho girl with a club.

SHE HAS TWO BROTHERS-IN-LAW
MRS. HENRY W. REnBEIN, OF HONESDALE, MOURNS THE DEATH
OF AUGUST J. REIIBEIN, HEH BROTHER-IN-LAW, AND
THE DEATH OF AUGUST BARTHOLEMUS, AVHO
jLSO IS HER BROTHER-IN-LAW.
The sad news announcing the
death of August J. Rehbeln, qf
Brooklyn, N. Y was received by
Honesdale relatives and friends on
Sunday morning. Although In declin
ing health, his death was not ox
pected so soon. Mr. Rehbeln had
been ill for a few months and not un
til a few days before the end camo
was really known the direct cause
of his sickness. For many years Mr.
Rehbeln had been out of doors, his
position, that of traveling salesman
for the Durland-Weston Shoe com
pany, formerly the Durland-Thomp-son
company, kept him in the open.
Tho sudden change of indoor work,
after he purchased a retail shoe
store, in Brooklyn, is supposed to
have affected his health, as he began
soon afterwards to gradually decline.
Death, however, was due to liver
trouble.
General regret Is expressed for the
death of Mr. Rehbeln, as he was one
of the most popular of Honesdale's
former citizens. Ho was an affec
tionate father and loving husband, a
good neighbor and an exceptionally
good business man. Mr. Rehbeln
was affiliated with the Presbyterian
church of this place practically all of
his life. He was one of the men who
could be depended upon, and for
many years was chorister of the
church of his choice, having a clear,
sweet tenor voice. Many times he
pleased large congregations by the
rendition of solo selections. Aside
from his church work Mr. Rehbeln
was prominently Identified with, sev
eral fraternal organizations. He was
a member of Honesdale Lodge, No.
218, Free and Accepted Masons, An
thony Wayne Chapter of Royal Arch
Masons, Freedom Lodge of Odd Fel
lows and a Heptasoph.
August J. Rehbeln was born In
Honesdale June 22, 1860. Ho was a
son of the late John and Calrlna W.
(Dapper) Rehbeln. Two sons bless
ed their home, August J. and Henry
W. Rehbeln. In early life tho de
ceased attended the Honesdale
schools and after obtaining a liberal
education ho clerked for a year each
In the stores of the late Seth W. Pow
ell and R. W. Klplo. Later he en
tered the Honesdale postoffice, where
he remained for six years. Here he
made a number of friends. On Sep
tember 11, 1884, he accepted a posi
tion with the Durland-Thompson
Shoo company as shipping clerk. By
attending strictly to business he was
rapidly promoted until he secured
a position as traveling salesman,
which he held until, his resignation a
year ago. Mr. Rehbeih was held In
high regard by his employers and
was very popular In the factory.He
OBLIGED TO CONSULT A SPEC

an employe of W. J. Cobb, the lum
berman, his work being that of a
sawyer. About three weeks ago he
found that he was having consider
able trouble with his eyesight. He
thought ho had by some means acci
dentally received saw dust, or some
other foreign substance In his eyes.
As days passed and he grew worse
instead of better, he went to a local
physician who, after examination,
advised him to consult a specialist.
This he did, In fact he went to more
than one, for he was not satisfied
with what was told him regarding
his sight and different things thought
to be necessary, from removing a
birth-mark to other forms of sur
gery, and he finally went to a spec
ialist In WIlkes-Barro who won his
confidence by telling him that he
worked in a place where there was

These horses don't get anywhero because they aro PULLING AGAINST

Hitched together as a team they could pull a load bigger

It Is tho samo way with men.
Pulling against each other they got nowhere.
Pulling together they accomplish wonders.
Tho only way to make a town advance Is BY TEAM WORK.
Tho last census shows that many American cities and villages advanced
marvelously, others almost stood still, while others actually went backward.
It Is a 10 to 1 bet that In tho growing towns you will find a UNITED

other form of organized boosting.
It Is Just as cortnin that In tho towns standing still or going backward
will be found factionalism and bickering the citizens pulling In different di

He covered a large territory and was
a valuable employe.
Mr. Rohbeln came to' Honesdale a
few weeks ago with tho hopes of
recuperating his health. Ho went to
the homo of his brother, Henry W.
Rehbeln, on High street. Local phy
sicians did all in their power to re
lieve him. He returned to Brook
lyn a week ago last Friday where he
went to the Holy Family hospital.
Hero specialists were consulted, but
a. gradual decline was noticeable.
Mr. Rehbeln was removed to his
home from the hospital Saturday af
ternoon and at 12 o'clock, midnight,
he passed peacefully away to IiIb re
ward. He is survived by his wife, Laura
A., who was a daughter of tho late
Rev. C. W. Smith, a former pastor o
the Aldenville Baptist church, also
two sons, Ford, of Los Angeles, Cal.',

The remains will arrive on the

and taken to the Presbyterian
church, where Mr. Rehbeln's late
pastor, Rev. Dr. Swift, will conduct
the funeral. The services at the
grave will be In charge of the Ma
sonic lodge, of which the deceased
was a member.
The bereaved family have tho
profound sympathy of the commun

August Bartholemus was 37 years
of age, having been born In Hawley

NARROW ESCAPE FOR STRANG
ERS. Two strangers boarded the Sunday
morning Delaware and Hudson train
as lt was moving and as a result
both were thrown to the ground and
narrowly escaped being drawn un
derneath the wheels. Tho train had
lort tne depot ana was near tno uur-land-Weston
Shoe factory when the
gentlemen put in an appearance.
