came with the rain on last Wednes
day night, but the benefit of the rairf
was so great that it more than off
set the loss from hail, which was
not very keenly felt.

Wind Does Some Damage
The wind which accompanied the
rain and storm of last Wednesday,
caused me loss to the chicken hous1
of George Tonak. when it lifted the
roof from his building and deposited
it on the ground in the field a short
distance away. The reof was well
farUned to the building, but the
wind when it caught the projection
eaves tore the entire roof off and did
much damase to the building.

two banks will be merged into the

The change will give one very
large country bank and which will
be in the best cf shape to serve the
interests of the people of that part
of the county. The consolidated bank
will be one of the strongest in the
county and will have a very large list
of deposits that will rank with the

The Bank of Murdock has been for
several years under the management
of Henry A. Guthmann. who is one
of the outstanding figures among the
state bankers and ;m officer of ibe

His management of his fvn bank and

With Kercury in the 80's
Storm Cools Colorado.
More- than fifty deaths were cau:-ed
in the United States by the two-day
heat waw- which continued unabated
Thursdav thruout tii- east. Approx
imately twelve of the deaths were
due to drowning or lightning. Thc
len.ainder were attributed to heat.
The west and middle-west had
lov.r.d some relief from heat and
tn rik sic mis. hut promised showers
had materialized only at a few
points in the eart.
Most cf the cast continued to suf
fer today under extreme temperatures
and high humidity, with the only
hope cf relief held out by weather
j forecasters in the promise of possible
showers later in the day.
! Boston, New York. Baltimore, Phil
adelphia, Washington, Pittsburgh,
and other cities were suffering In
tensely. A high of 95 was reached
j in Boston and Washington and 91
'in New York.
Relief came to the midwest today
after a cooling rain. A freak storm
in Colorado ended a period of high
temperature there. .
The majority of deaths occurred in
metropolitan Xew York and nearby
Xew Jersey. Nine were attributed
directly to the het. Three persons
were drowned and Ignatz Mestricki,
overcome by heat while walking on
the railroad tracks at Perth Amboy,
N. J.. was killed by a train.
I Before relief came to Chicago, ten
had died there. The other deaths
were in points in New Yoik, Penq
sylvania, Ohio and other eastern
states.
In addition to the heat deaths,
several died; from lightning and freak
storms. A woman was killed by light
ning in Massachusetts, while a
mother and son were swept to death
by a seven foot wall cf 'water when
a cloudburst caught their automobile
in a:i arroyo near Walsenberg.
The United States was not alone
in suffering from natural disturb
ances which apparently have been
prevailing over many part3 of the
earth. Storms, floods and earthquakes
have been reported from Europe, Asia
and South America. Argentina and
Chile have been suffering acutely
from extreme cold and blizzards.

A business dream of 20 years came
true Friday with the announcement
by L. T. Sunderland, president of the

and former Omahan, that excavation
will start early in August for one of
the largest Portland cement plants in
the country, to cost more than two
million dollars, at Louisville, Neb..
2) miles southwest of Omaha.
"It will be an all-Nebraska plant
controlled by Nebraska capital, op
erated by Nebraska men and using
Nebraska raw materials," said Mr.
Sunderland. "It wil have an initial
yearly production ff three-quarters
of a million barrels, and an ultimate
capacity of one and one-half million
barrels. The plant when completed
v.i'! provide employment for mor
than two hundred men. and will be
re; dy for operation in 12 to 15
months."
The plant will be owned and op
erated by a new organization, now
being formed under the name. Ash

corporated under the laws or this
sttte. It will be a subsidiary of the
parent concern at Kansas City, which,

night, about ten o'clock, when the
Star sedan in which she was riding
toppled over on its right side, near
.the Mart Wright residence, just at
the edge of town, east of Akron, on
'the Golden Rod Highway.
Mrs. Claggett and her little two
year old daughter. Alma Eyvone,
were on their return home ,frora Ne
braska, where they had spent the
past four weeks, visiting her mother,
Mrs. Alma Yardley.
: The other occupants in the car
were Mrs. Claggett's husband and his
f?ther and mother, Mr. and Mrs.
Horace G. Clagget, of Denver, and
their granddaughter. Miss Olive Stev

i Denver in the ir new Star sedan a
week ago Sunday, for a few days visit
with relatives and friends at Omaha,
Nebraska, that being their former
home, and'.o get Mrs. A. D. Claggett
and baby.
They were having a most delight
ful trip home when suddenly the
crash came. Horace G. Claggett, was
atthe steering wheel and was driv
ing at about 30 miles an hour. All at
'once, Mr. Claggett noticed the car
skid to the right, and he thought
they had a flat tire and he tried to
get the car back in the road. The
son seeing that the car was still
skidding, tried to grab the steering
wheel, and it was gone, the rim broke
at th spider, and was in the father's
hand. As it went in the ditch, it
turned over on its side, completely
masking the top and breaking the
glass in the right side.
It was on!y a few seconds, after the
accident happened, when M. O. Wol
cott came by going east, and stop
ped his car to help the unfortunates.
Seeing that one member of the party
was badly injured he rushed back to
town after Dr. Adams.
All members of the auto accident
received minor scratches, cuts and are
badly bruised, excepting the baby
who came out of the wreck, a beauti
ful baby, all whole, without a tiny
scratch end as bright as a dollar,
.calling "mother" tha best friend cn
earth to all children.
Mrs. A. D. riggett was taken to
the home of Mrs. Wm. Potter, where
it was found necessary to give her
either. Her scalp was cut to the
bone- from the eft ear ctear across
an i it was necessary to take 26
sti:ehes. Beside the bad scalp
wound llrs. Claggett has many other
jnjnpr cAits and bruises, is badly swol
len and bruised all over.
Mrs. Bert Graves, of Chicago, 111.,
who is a trained nurse, and here with
her liTishfrd, visiting his mother,
Mrr. Mafcle Graves, cared fir Mrs.
Classett Monday night. Tuesday
morning found the injured lady mush
better, cheerful and ready to con
tinue her journey heme ward, with
much to tlnk God for "The giver
of every good gift."
It is indeed, very fortunate that
no more serious casualties were in
this crash, jurt another one cf God's
great miracles.
The Claggett's home address is
415 S. Sherman St. Horace G. Clag
gett is engaged in the grocery and

Denver, for a number- of years, but
;:t present is just one of their ac
tive and mort earnest workers. They
informed the reported, that it was
not "hcetch" that caused the acci

NEARLY 12 MILLION H. P-
MADE BY WATEEPOWEH
On January 1. 1927, there were in
the United States hydro-electric
plants having a combined generating
capacity of 11,721,000 horsepower,
according to a report just made pub
lic by the U. S. Geological Surrey.
Of this total more than half a
million horsepower were made up by
plants completed during 1926.
New York State now comes second
ti California in total developed hydro
electric capacity with 529 plants ot
100 horsepower or more with an ag
gregate capacity of 1,757,355 horse
power. Of this total approximately a
million and a half horsepower are in
public utility plants and the remain
der iu industrial installations.
California has installed 1.916.9S0
hydro-electric horsepower and took
the lead in 192fi.
Maine, Massachusetts and New

Seme of the wheat was injured by
the high winds that forced ripening,
and has thrown a little element of
doubt as to the finr.l outcome. Some
cf the wheat is shrunken as a result
of premature ripening. So far. it is
