A few follow Home of Mrs. C. G. Clifford, 68, a w'dow in a humble cottage, was ab solutely swept away. She hadn't a stitch of clothing, except that which she wore, left. Her total savings, $150 in cash, hidden in a ball of yarn in her cottage, were swept away with the flood. Her two grandsons who were working their way through col lege at Lincoln have returned to Louisville to care for Widow Clifford.

It has been swept from its foundation and several feet of mud encased within its walls lias ruined the furniture. This couple was saved by a mira cle. On the night of the flood, rescu ers believed for a time they had been drowned. Suddenly they saw a feeble light flickering ovj-r the wa ter1 and through the window of the Schoerman home.

They had been lighting matches to Inform rescuers they were still alive. The home of Mrs. Susie Urwln, di vorcee. with three children, is fill ed with mud. The catastrophe has caused a partial reconciliation with her husbini. George, according to townspeople.

Special Di.imtrli to The Onmha Bff. Lincoln. Oct. 10.—Does the father of Alva Valjgrt, Bohemian girl of Milford who was released last night by a coroner's jury, after being held on a charge of murdering Anton Lana, farm hand, know tnore about the case than he stated on»the witness stand? That is a question that is puzzling citizens of Milford tonight. Despite the finding of the coroner's jury, persons who have been follow.ng the case are not satisfied that the whole truth has been told, though they appear unanimously of 'the opin ion that Lana got no more than he de served. Contradictions of the girl’s mother in her testimony only serve to heighten their belief. Rarely in the history of such rases has publio sentiment so rapidly crystallized in favor of the defendant as it has in Mtlford since the death of Lana was made public late Mon day night. No one in the town appears to have desired to see Alva Valjgrt prosecuted. To all Intents and pur poses the case is closed, at least as far as citizens of Milford are con cerned, the general opinion being that Justice has been done.
