A desperate fight is on to hold
the 1evees at Luxora, Osceola,

from their homes.
All through the night. couriers
rode at top speed in advance of
the food, warning the people to
flee. Thus it is believed that no
lives were lost by the break; but
the number of persons added to
the long list of homeless is not
