Kum- , New Orleans. La.. Feb. 18. The known c'.e3d from the tornado which dipped freakishly into widely separ ated sections of three states last i.iht. rose to C2 tonight, with the discovery of an additional body near Pleasant Hill. La., and the drowning of a man at Alexander City. Ala. 1 The number of injured neared the one bundred mark, ana property unm ade, larrely confined to farm homes and rural buildings, passed 200 thous and dollars. Rescue workers, delving through ti e debris of farm homes tonight, f-ioed the possibility of freezing tem peratures. Winds had lost tbeir fury, but brought with them the touch of ice. The t'ornado dissipated in rains and electrical storms. Twelve Near PJeasant Hill. Of the storm dead, 12 died in tbe fe.rminrr community near Pleasant Hill. Eleven were known dead in Tensas parish, in the Mississippi val ley. Eirht were killed at Rose Hill, TiTi-s.. one man drowned at Alexan der City. Ala., when his boat was up set by high winds. The storm dipped first into the Pleasant Hill farming community, leaving r.o injured, a dozen farm houses in ruins and 75 to one hundred bimeiess. Rising, it passed eastward o the stnte line, where it flung a backward blow at Tensas parish. Her" the tv istir.g wind struck the Telia Mac!,- plantation, wrecked 21 houses, killed two and injured 20. Sweeping across Lake Joseph, it drvrmated four other plantations before- it aro?w again, leaving in its wake a total of 13 dead and61 in-: jured. j At Vicksburg. CSS inches of rain' drenched the city, a lightning bolt strv."': the power plant and disabled the electric light service and commun-' it -ions. j Passes Into Alabama. i With waning force, the storm t!!J cl into Alabama. Tr Trees were unroot- led houses blown down, highwavs and railway tracks blocked, but no fatal-' itis were listed except the one man : ; drowned at Alexander Citv ; The body of Miss Ruth Free, 35, was found in a pitch of woods some , distance from her home in the Pleas jnnt Hill community late today, im i puled by a piece of timber. I Five members cf the A3hbv familv. seven of whom di"d in the storm, were buried late today in one grave. inss rORHAND CRITICAL Santa Monica. Cal.. Feb. 16. Offi cials of Santa Mxinica hospital an nounced tonight that the condition of Mabel Normand, screen actress, is "highly critical." She is suffering from an abscessed right lung and bronchial pneumonia. Her tempera ture was given late today as 103, pulse 100. as compared to 72 normal, and respiration SS, a.s compared to 20 normal. DEPMR TMEMT. G. 0. P. CHIEF TO TOUR IT. S. New York, Feb. 18. Charles D. Hilles, vice president of the republi can national committee, will - start Saturday on a tour of the United States" to survey political and busi ness conditions, he announced Thurs day night after a conference with Senator William M. Butler of Massa chusetts, chairman of the committee. What Mr. Hilles sees and hears will have a bearing on the early phases of the 192S republican pre convention national campaign. Mr. Ilillos said he believed "that only a law-enforcement republican can be elected president in 1928,"! and that President Coolidge can be i re-elected." Graveling of the Omaha Road is Promised State Engineer Cochran Advises Om aha Questioners Will Speed Up Pave South to Fort It i I Reassuring, indeed, is the news in i today's Omaha Bee that Swte Engi neer Cochran has promised Omaha inquirers that he will do everything possible to speed up completion of work begun last fall on the Platts-mouth-Omaha federal aid road pro ject. This will mean a speeding up of the grading in Sarpy county, that was allowed to draw thru the early part of the winter and finally discon tinued at a time when work was be ing pus hed right along in this coun ty. As a result, the road between here and the bridge is ready to re ceive the gravel now, while a great deal more grading remains to be done on the Sarpy county portion before it ; can be surfaced. ' As soon as spring opens up and the gravel companies begin shipping, the work of spreading the gravel on the three miles between Plattsmouth and the bridge will be pushed rap idly forward. Additional pleasing news for those who travel over the road frequently is found in the announcement in Om aha papers a few da5rs ago that the paving will be continued from its present terminus a mile south of Al bright to the west Fort Crook gate, thus placing Plattsmouth only some nine miles from the pavement and that over a good graveled road. This stretch of road has come in for more complaint among motorists than any similar length section in the middle west and it will surely be a pleasure to everyone when we no longer hear from every one bent on going, that oft-repeated question. "How's the mad to Omaha?" Califoi ornia cities Busy Repairing Storm Damage 4-Day Rain Causes Havoc: San Diego Still Cut Off From Rail, Highway Contact. Los Angeles California, especial ly the southern part of the state, busied itself under fair skies Thurs day restoring the heavy damage wrought by a four-day storm. Citizens of Venice. Long Reach and other smaller towns who had been driven from their homes by flood waters, returned" to clean out the mud and salvage personal ef fects. San Diego remained cut off from rail or highway communication, al though rpecial steamship sailings be tween there and Los Angeles wer in effec t Thursday. Schools will be ' reopened Friday in San Diego. The damage in the city and to highways, homes and rrops outside is expected to be heavy and more than a week will be required to restore normal road service. Death Toll at 21. ! Los Ageles estimated its financial; losses at upwards of $1,000,000. J The death toll remained at 21 with the loss of 13 lives in snowslides in ! the high Sierras east of Fresno where employes of the Southern California Edison company were buried in their camps. I waf! At Taft, a loss of 1250,000 estimated wiieu a count t.uuwu i about 100 oil derricks naa Deen blown down. The Union Pacific rail road placed its loss of i equipment in the wreck of a transcontinental passenger train near Whittier at $150,000. The San Fernando valley had not yet been able to compute its damage to crops, orchards, homes and highways. Most of the valley was deeply flooded. Lcn? Seech Damaged. Anaheim employed over .100 men in filling a Santa Ana river dike with. sand bags as a midnight break continued to pour a stream of water through the town. The river dropped three feet during the day. In holly wood the damage was slight. The two homes were buried under land slides in a hill canyon there. Long Beach estimated it would take a month to clear its beach of tons of debris, mainly of trees, tele graph poles, chicken doops and oth er wreckage brought down by flood streams. President Coolidge may be a cold' proposition, but congress is making! Viir.-. fc,s!., , . i him sweat profusely oespite tbe fact that this is midwinter. Paul Bajeck Goes to His Last Reward Long Time Resident of This City Passes Away at Hospital in Omaha from Heart Attack. From Saturday's Dally Paul Bajeck, one of the old time residents of this city. Who came here from his native land in Bohemia many years ago and has practically spent his lifetime here, was called to I the last reward at the hospital in Omaha yesterday, where he has been for the past few day's taking treat ment. Mr. Bajeck was sevent3 years of 'age and has in the last few weeks been in failing health, as he was a sufferer from heart trouble, which had been aggrevated in the last few 'weeks to such a degree that he had been bedfast the greater part of the time. Mrs. Bajeck has been sick as well as the husband and their condition 'was such that the son was called here from St. Louis, where he was visiting and the father was taken to Omaha, where it was hoped the treatment might give him some relief, but with out avail. ' Mr. Bajeck is survived by the wife and tour cinuiren. jonn iajecK, oi Havelock; Joe Bajeck, of St. Louis: Mrs. Floyd Kuhney. of California. and Mrs. Joe Hunter, who resides m Wyoming. The funeral arrangements have not been completed, owing to the delay in hearing from Mrs. Kuhney and the body is at the Sattler funeral home on North Fourth street, pend ing the arrangements for the service, which will be held either Monday or Tuesday, it is thought. Hog Thieves are siusy m vicinity of Nehawka Residents cf That Part of the County Report Porkers 3Iissing from Their Farms. Fr'm Saturday's Iailv The "crime wave" in seems to be centering in Cass countys the farming: sections of the county rather than in the towns as the revelations of the last two weeks are unfolding in sev eral localities. The Murray neighborhood was the '. scene cf arson and robbery in the pst week at the Earl Lancaster farm and now the vicinity of Nehawka sterns to ; be the storm center of the activities of me wrong aoers. I From that part of the county comes ; the r ' large ports of the disappearance or a number of hogs that have gone from the farms kept and leavin; on which they werej no trace of their go-' mg and the large number that have gone makes it doubtful that they had merely strayed away unless with as- SlstanCe. ! The boss that are reported as miss-, ing are from the Z. W. Shrader farm which is being farmed by Troy Shra der and to whom the missing porkers belonged. A few days ago Mr. Shra der decided to butcher one of the hogs which was oddly marked and was quite notiable from the rest of the swine on the farm. When the butch ering day arrived there was an ab sence of the hog and after several days ti e porker failed to show up and J then the entire bunch of hogs was (rounded up and counted and it was found that there were thirteen of the hogs that were absent and unaccount ed for on the farm. In the past year a number of hogs were reported to have been taken in the vicinity of Plattsmouth and while tli evidence was never able to be ma terialired it was very generally es tablished that the hogs had been kill ed and loaded in trucks and taken to Omaha. This is probably tbe case with the missing hogs from the Shra der farm. VISITS WITH SICK SON From Friday" rai;y This morning P. A. Hild. one of th well known residents cf Mt.
