ral and Grand Island Independent; and ,
Karl Jones. rnresentinc the Omaha '
Itee, Lincoln Star and Associated,
lress, leftr Alliance early Thursday'
looming and arrived at the scene
t-hortly after the last of the victims
had been taken from the water and
Wfore the wreckers started work.
They returned to Alliance Thursday
ftipht.
T. L. Holding, a Whitney lumber
man, was on the passenger car of the
Terked Northwestern passenger train
vhen it went into Cottonwood creek.
He was seated at the rear of the car;
nd thrown bodily from his seat when
the car plunged fortv feet to the lcd
of the cek. M. Ho'd'ng stated that
'he saw the ruRhinsr water outside his
' indow and dashed his foot through ;
fclass, plunged out and secured hold
if a piece of the wreckage of the
Pullman car which had drifted against
the passenger car, the only steel car
Jn the train.
Holdinsr helped two other men out
through the broken window and they
elambcred to the top of the car, above
the water, while other passengers were
escaping through the upper end of the
ear, which was resting on the base of j
a concrete oier. The faint lights of
the Pullman car, shining through its
pen end, cast a glow over the coaches
lying below it in the raging stream.
Holding and his companions then
tlimbed across the wreckage to the roof
of the mokinjr cur rnd in the emi
durkness endeavored to rescue its oc
cupants, whose voices were drowned in
the noise of the rushing flood waters.
He said it teemed as thoujeh all were
deril in this car.
They tried to take out survivors
through windows but found this im
possible and finally chopped a larj?e
hole in the roof, through which they
pulled out men, both dead and alive,
none of whom complained but were
game. These were laid on the east
bank of the stream and remained there
until the rescue train arrived from
Chadron at about two o'clock, three
hours after the wreck. Most of the
victims were suffering from broken
arms and legs, although many had
badly cut and bruised heads and faces.
One man's leg was completely stripped
of flesh from the knee downward to
the ankle. A heavy traveling man,
weighing probably two hundred and
fifty pound.i, proved a problem for his
rescuers, whom he directed carefully,
although suffering intense pain.
W. T. Grecnway of Omaha, who was
in the Pullman, said that all but three
occupants of this car had retired when
the wreck occurred. They were
thrown from their beds to the floor
and panic regned for a few minutes,
some of the passengers narrowly es
caping falling through the open and
lower end of the car. Greenway was in
the front end and felt the floor falling
below him as it vave way. Citizens of
Whitney who hurried to the scene ot
the wreck, which is two miles east,
brought ropes and lanterns with them.
The ropes were fastened to the Pull
mnn car and thrown to the men in the
cars below, after which hardy men
went down hand over hand to assist in
the work of rescue, which continued
until after six o'clock, when the body
of the baggageman, Robert Scott, had
been recovered from the splintered
wreckage of his car. He had evidently
been sitting in a chair when the crash
came, his body being crushed with the
chair in a shapeless mass into a
heavy trunk.
RESOLUTIONS PASSED AT
STOCKMEN'S CONVENTION
(Continued from Page 1)
Resolved by the Nebraska Stock
Growers association, in annual con
vention assembled at Alliance, Ne
braska, June 14, 1921, that we urge
congress to promptly enact a measure
granting at least $100,000,000 to be
used for the purpose of extending rea
sonable credit to stock growers for a
period of not less than two years, such
fund to be handled by the secretary
of the treosnrv or such agency he
may select; and be it further
Keso'vcd, that a copy of this re.-o-lution
le transmitted to President
Harding with the urgent request that
he use his great power to secure this
legislation, and that a copy also be
sent to our senators and congressmen
from Nebraska with the request that
they vigorously co-operate with the
administration toward this end.
Adequate Import Duties.
Whereas, the live stock industry of
the United States is passing through a
period of extreme depression due to
the depreciated domestic markets and
financial stringency, and in addition is
confronted with the competition of
live stock and its products from South
America, Australia, and other coun
tries where production costs are vastly
lower than the expense incident to pro
during meat animals in thin country,
therefore be it
Resolved, by the Nebraska Stock
Growers association, in convention at
Alliance, Nebraska, June 14, 1921, that
we demand of congress the imposition
of such tariff duties on live stock and
its products, as will equalize the differ
ence between the cost of production
here, as compared with other surplus
I countries.
Resolved that copies of this resolu
tion be forwarded to the chairman of
the finance committee of the senate
and of the ways and means committee
of the house of representatives.
Resolved that the secretary of this
association immediately wire Joseph
W. Fordney, chairman of the ways
and means committee of the house of
representatives, vigorously insisting
th?t a reasonable duty on hides be in
cluded in the general tariff bill now
in course of preparation.
Packing Legislation.
Resolved b,y the Nebraska Stock
Growers association, at Alliance, Ne
braska on June 14, 1921, that we earn
estly urge the present 67th congress
to promptly enact the pending con
structive meat packing legislation;
and be it further
Resolved, that we express our
thanks to the Nebraska senators and
congressmen for their support of this
legislation.
Secretary of Agriculture.
The Nebraska Stock Growers asso
ciation hereby expresses to the Hon
orable Warren G. Harding, president
ot the United States, its great appre
ciation of his selection of Henry C.
Wallace of Iowa, as secretary of agri
culture. We pledge to Secretary Wal
lace our thorough co-operation in his
great work.
Modification of Palmer Decree.
Whereas, under secTThn 6 of the
Talmer Consent Decree the five big
packers are perpetually enjoined from
entering the retail meat trade; and
Whereas, we believe it would result
in a great saving to consumers, and
be a distinct benefit to producers, if
the packers would engage in the re
tailing of meat products; therefore be
it
Resolved by the Nebraska Stock
Growers association, in annual con
vention assembled at Alliacne, Ne
braska, June 13-14, 1921, ;hat we re
spectfully request the attorney gen
eral of the United States to modify
the saiil consent decree by the elim
ination of section C, so that the pack
ers may, wherever it seems advisable,
establish retail distributing markets.
CITY MANAGER'S CORNER
We received a letter from the bond
ing company who were to sell our $10,
000 water extension bonds. They state
that they are unable to sell these bonds
for us. We are however going ahead
and working on plans for the exten
sion which will take care of those
who desire to take water now. We
are getting what material we have on
hand in good shape so that we will
know what new material we will have
to have in order to make this exten
sion. We will probably get to this
during the latter part of the summer.
The heavy rains of late have badly
washed the streets in a number of
places which necessitates our making
a lot of repairs. Our soil is very
sandy and it does not take much water
to move a lot of sand. It is very diffi
cult to keep it from doing this. Quite
often this washing is caused by some
obstruction being placed in the gut
ters like grass, cuttings, or other ma
terial and we must insist that nothing
be placed in the gutters as it gives
us no end of trouble. Also where the
automobile driveways cross the j ittcrs
near the curb line, these should not
be filled up so as to impond the water
above, it and thereby interfere with
the drainage and make mud in the
street.
Mr. L. A. Berry has been appointed
police magistrate on a fee basis to fill
the unexpired term of Judge T. D.
Roberts, resigned.
N. A. KEMMISH,
City Manager.
A dispatch from Minneapolis says
that half a million eggs arrived in
that market from China recently with
out a broken egg in the lot. But why
should thek break when they are China
eggs?
For the man or woman who puts Quality above Price,
the Reo has a special appeal. The satisfaction that comes
from owning a Quality product is well worth what little
more the Reo costs over the Quantity class of automobiles.
If you want to drive a thoroughbred car that will give
you value received for every dollar invested, buy a REO.
