Dr. and Mrs. John L. Barritt, were
over to Union on last Monday where
they were calling on Ralph Opp, who
is at this time convalescing joint of
one of the little fingers of Wm. Craig
who got the member entangled in a
buzz saw. After the amputation the
member was feeling much better.
Do not think the ruddy probosus
which is closely associated with Dan
Anderson is the result of excess.
No, far from it. It is the result of
a boil which is a special pet of Dan,
not because he loves the boil, but
because he has to get along with it,
and desired to do so as easily as pos
sible. Mesdames Mary Voodra and Robert
Troop, both of Plattsmouth were
guests at the home of Mrs. Forest
R. Cunningham, where all the ladies
enjoyed the visit most splendidly,
they also visited the home of Mrs.
T. E. Fulton, all the ladies having
been neighbors in the days which
have long since gone by.
Harold Dodson. while carrying an
axe and a sharp one at that, had the
misfortune to allow the blade of the
axe come in contact with one of his
legs, with the result that a very se
vere gash was cut in Harold's leg,
which required the skill of a sur
geon to close. The wound is doing
nicely, but will be some time before
it is well again.
Mrs. Ralph R. Stander of Wilsie,
Kansas, who has' been visiting here
for the past few days, after return
ing from the western portion of the
state where she went to attend the
funeral of her sister, Mrs. Henry
Meyers, and while here was the guest
of her sisters and brother, departed
for her home in the Sunflower state
on Monday morning of this week.
M. R. Vistumas of Omaha was a
visitor in Nehawka and addressed an
Union meeting of the two churches
and who spoke for the Near East Re
lief and asked that a pledge be made
of one daliar per month from eight
people, which would care for one per
son for a year and give them an
education. The meeting was at
tended by a large and interested
crowd.
J. S. Rough and the good wife
were over to Lincoln on last Satur
day and after visiting and looking
after some matters for a time, drove
via Omaha and on to Blair, where
they visited at the home of John
Rough and wife, where they visited
for over Sunday, and where all had
a most delightful visit." Mr. J. S.
Rough and John Rough being bro
thers. John G. Wunderlich has been in
the habit of going over to the home
on wash day, but on Monday of this
week. Mr. Wessell had to be away
from the store, and John did not get
to go and assist in the washing, but
the good wife had a better helper,
in the shape of a new electric wash
ing machine and got the washing
out on time or a little before and
without hard work.

over to Omaha on last Sunday, where
thev visited at the hospital with the
sister of Mr. Opp, Mrs. Wm. Black,
who is slowly recovering from an op- !
eration which she underwent some j
two weeks since. Mr. and Mrs. Opp ,
were over a week since and found i
the sister making what they thought
was good progress, but during the
past week at times the patient was
very poorly, but was showing some
improvement on last Sunday. Her
many friends are hoping this excel
lent woman may soon be in her usual
health again.
KREMER IS ALL FOR AL
San Francisco, March 12. Al
Smith, goveinor of New York, was
described as the "outstanding demo
cratic candidate" for the presidency
today by J. Bruce Kremer, demo
cratic national committeeman from
Montana. Mr. Kremer arrived hero
today from Havana.
"I feel that Smith is the outstand
ing democratic candidate despite my
close friendship for Senator Walsh."
Mr. Kremer said.
"Walsh is expected to take th1
Montana delegation with him to th 1
convention and while I would like t
see him win, there is no use talkin ,
cf such a dubious circumstance, j
Smith has the northwest solid. Th
issue is not prohibition, but liberal
ization. This is the keynote of demo
cracy and includes a change in th
eighteenth amendment and relief to
the farmer. If the party does tbes- j
things it will win.

Missing After
Dam Collapses
Property Loss Runs Into Millions as
Wall cf Water Rushes Down
Canyon Many Dead.
Newhall, Cal., March 13. A rap
idly mounting death toll from the
great torrent that swept into San
Francipquito canyon from the huge
St. Francis dam tonight showed 74
persons had lost their lives, while
upwards of seven hundred more per
sons were reported missing. Fifty of
the bodies have been identified. '
In the wake of the tremendous
flood of water lossed upon the sleep
ing residents of the fertile valley,
property damage was variously esti
mated at from 10 million dollars to
30 million dollars. The breaking of
the giant dam .under pressure of 12
billion gallons of water at 12:30 a.
m. released a 75-foot wall of water
on the inhabitants.
An army of rescue workers tonight
carried on a coaselow search for
more bodies in the engulfed valley,
where homes lay crumpled in ruins.
The dam gave way this morning,
the east and west wings collapsing
and down the beautiful canyon, dot
ted with citrus groves, rushed the de
vastating barrage.
Mrs. A. M. Rumsey. postmistress
at Saugus. a nearby town, declared
tonight that for 10 days ranchers liv
ing in the shadow of the St. Francis
dam had "talked of nothing else"
but reported leaks in the structure
the possibility of the disaster
t wrecked their homes and wiped
out their families today.
i At Santa Paula, approximately 20
; miles from the destroyed dam, the
south end of town, comprising the
Mexican quarter, was tarried away.
This section ordinarily housed be-;
tween six hundred and a thousand;
persons. Ten bridges were washed
out in t Iiis region including the fin
est span in Ventura county, that
Bardsdale.
Auto Driver Tells Story.
As the list of recovered bodies
grew tonight until the body of the
two hundred and seventy-fourth vic
tim had been, recovered. Mrs. Rum
soy said that ranchers in San Fran
cisquito canyon had repeatedly told
her it "would be the end of them"
if the dam ever gave way.
Supporting Mrs. Rumsey's state
ment of rumored leaks in the great
wall that until last night held back
3S thousand acre feet of water for
the summer supply of the city of
Los Angeles, were report? obtained
by investigating officers from mo-
tonsts who had driven through the
canyon late Monelay.
One auto driver, according to the
investigators, stated that while driv
ing up the canyon road with his wife
and family he saw an unusual quan
tity of Diu('.i!y water coursing through
the ordinarily dry stream bed.
The autoiPt, said the officers, drove
up to the tlam expecting to see wa
ter coming over the spillway, but
found nne flowing. Driving closer,
he said he notived that the water be
hind the butress was within three
feet of the top and that the spillway
gates apparently were closed, altho
thre was a good stream running
down the canyon.

ist reported he found a gang of work
men drilling holes apparently in pre-;
at i paration for dynamite blasts to blow i
off the shoulder of a hill not more
than two hundred feet from the dam. j
"And it was then," the officers re
ported the autoist as saying. "I re-
marked to my wife that it looked like
a pretty heavy charge to set on so
close to the dam. We were in the
hills until nearly 7 o'clock in the
evening, and I am certain the
blast
was not set off until that hour for
we undoubtedly would have heard it.
The majority of the water's vic
tims were not drowned, but were
killed by rolling boulders and heavy
pieces of wreckage.
in audition to wrecKing tne costiyjat its
new dam. the unleaehed waters
played havoc with homes, ranches,
railroad lines, telegraph and tele-
phone systems, light and power
wires, gas mains, roads and bridges.
Computation of the damage to
hundreds of homes probably will take
weeks and even those familiar with
the district would not hazard an ac
curate guess on this class of loss.
Ventura county authoritiees esti
mated the property loss in the Santa
Clara valley at around three million
dollars, while in Les Angeles coun
ty figures will exceel that total. Ag
gregate estimates of damage ran from J
10 million to 30 million dollars.
Owing to the small number of in-
jured no pressing need has been I
found for medical punplies, but i
