JAMES RIVER IS
ON A RAMPAGE
Stream Reaches 12-Foot Stage BY
Midnight, But Does No
Damage.

Due to heavy rainfall In the high
lands through which it flows, the
James River went on another ramp
age yesterday. and last night at late
hour had reached stage of twelve
feet at Richmond.
Director Evans, of the local weather
bureau, gave prompt warNing OF the
flood yesterday morning, and railroad
and steamship companies who were
interested, saw to 1t that freight con-
signed to their care was removed out
of harms way.
The Waterman at the Old Dominion
Steamship Companys dock stated at
midnight that the water WAS within
Il few inches of the floor of the big
warehouse, but all, perishable freight
had been removed and that no dam
age was anticipated fron the rise of
the river. 1t had reached the twelve
foot stage at that hour. and appeared
to have reached the maximum.

healthfulness of the parks are better

Secretary Lanes modest estimate of
at least a hundred million dollars
that Americans are saving to America
this year is, indeed, conservative in

Dean Fitch is Hurt

Dean Fitch, a former student
at the Redwood Falls high
school, was hurt badly in an ac-
cident at the Mankato garage at
which he is employed, the acct
dent occurring last Saturday
morning. Mrs. Fitch in writing
to Redwood friends of the acct
dent did not give the full par
ticulars of the happening but
stated that her son had broken
his nose, one limb was broken
and there were several serious
cuts on his body. The injuries
will keep the young man con-
fined to his room for several
weeks. The Fitch family moved
from Redwood Falls to Mankato
about two years ago.
