Arkansas Toll Higher.
Arkansas was swept from the
southern section to the northeastern
counties by a series of twisters late
Monday. Latest reports placed the
dead at 68 and the injured at more
than three hundred.
Several isolated communities in
the . northeastern part of the state
were not heard from, and it was fear
ed that reports from these places
might increase the number of fatal
ities to 75 or more.
Pipping into the south end of the
state at Strong and Norphlet, the
tornado' hopped, skipped and jump

which years ago offered some excel

lure for Nebraska . fishermen again
within the next few years.
The state fish and game department
recently planted a million and a half
young pike in these two streams. For
several years the department has been
trying unsuccessfully to obtain pike
eggs. This year State Game Warden
O'Connell succeeded in buying two
million eggs from an eastern hatch
ery, and a million and a half little
pike were hatched out. They were
kept in the state nurseries until they
were large enough to take care of
themselves and where then turned
loose in the streams. The department
is planning to obtain about ten mil
lion pike eggs next year for hatching
Approximately a million little trout
are now in the fish hatcheries and
nurseries and will be planted in the
Nebraska streams in the fall. The
department is keeping the little fish
in the nurseries until they are large
enough to shift for themselves rather
than turning them loose shortly after
they are hatched.
This plan requires greater hatchery
and nursery facilities but it has been
found that where slightly over five
per cent of the fi.sh survived before,
between fifty and seventy-five per
cent survive under the present plan.
MORE BODIES FROM MINE
Fairmont, W. Va., May 8. Rescue
workers approached the end of the
long trail today in their search for
bodies in the Everettsville mine dis
aster. Completely subdued after a
week of stubborn fighting, the tunnel
offered little resistance to the hel-
metmen as they rolled back the gases
from heading after heading and.
brought forth from their sepulchre
the lifelsss forms of numbers of un
derground workers entombed eight
days ago.
Seventeen bodies were located
within the last twenty-four hours,
bringing the total known dead to
fifty-three. Search for the remaining
bodies yet in the mine was continued
without abatement.
