STOCK DROWNED,
CROPS DISAPPEAR
Near Hines and Otter Creek By
Virtual Cloudburst Early
Sunday Morning

Reports just received from var
ious northern and western parts
| of the county indicate the heavi-
| est rain storm in years in that
section Sunday, livestock in some
places being swept away by the
suddenly swollen streams which
left their banks shortly after the
rain began to fall.
Near Clay's Ferry two horses
on the George Gabbard farm, on
Hines Creek, were drowned, they
being swept away with the flood,
hundreds of acres being inundated
as if by magic. The horses were
in pasture field near the creek,
and were unable to escape the
rushing water. The tide at Hines
Creek in various places was the
highest ever known. A farmer
near the Gabbard farm reported
that four of his hogs were swept
away, while to the north, where
the creek empties into the Ken
lucky river, near the Lexington
pike, much corn and tobacco was
washed away.
Otter Creek in the northern
part of the county, reached a
stage never before known. Hun
dreds of acres of corn in the low
lands, as we'll as much tobacco,
was washed away, and some left
beneath a bed of sand and debris,
with the receding water. r.
Munley, living west of Boones-
boro, reports that his automobile,
a large Studebaker, was washed
from the roadway into the stream
being turned over and over by the
rushing waters. Many chickens
were drowned from nearby poul-
try houses, and a number of small
pigs are on the missing list from
meadows bordering on the creek.
DIR. D. ]. Williams, owner of
most of the property at Boones-
boro Beach, reports that eight of
his boats were carried away and
considerable damage wrought, al
thous the waters did not reach
the cottages of the summer resi-
dents.

Had Some Insurance

John Altman reports that his
loss as the result of his barn burn
ing Sunday night, will not exceed
$1,000, wing to the fact that he
had insurance to cover part of the
loss of the building. This he was
not positive of at the time of the
fire. The contents of the building
were not insured, however, and
represent a total loss. 1t is pro-
bable that a new building will
soon occupy the site of the old
one. Mr.. Altman has just COM
pleted the work of placing the
feed for his stock for the winter
in the barn.

times as a result of the persist
ence of many walking over the
newly finished curb and gutter.
Some drivers have been known to
remove the barricades and drive
over the new work.

(By Associated Press)


Portland, Maine, Sept A.
Names overwhelming plurality
for Frederick H. Parkhurst, re-
publican candidate for Governor
in the state election, yesterday. in
creased today to $1,000 with 40
small towns and plantations
missing. This is a plurality of
1900 more than the largest OBJ
tanned by any other gubernatorial
candidate in the history of the
state. With four republican Con-
gressmen elected by large plural
tiles, every member of the state
Senate will be republican. In the
House, out of membership of
Isl, the democrats elected 13. In
the last legislature there were
two democratic Senators and Al
increase in the total vote was due
to women at the polls for the first
time.
The result showed that most of
them voted the republican ticket.
AS the returns came in, demoCra-
tic state leaders were silent as to
the possible significance. Park
hurst declared the result showed
that Maine resented the "autocra-
tic Wilson administration" and
the Harding and Cool
idge campaign fought on national
issues

 Official headquarters of the convoy while in Phoenix, from present indi- cations, will be at the Adams hotel, where Colonel Franklin. commanding, and J. A. Rountree. director of the Bankhead national highway, and other prominent members of the convoy will stay.

 It is possible that a car containing a committee to meet the convoy at Tucson will leave Phoenix this morn ing.
 Those who accompanied Captain Mill Ter and Lieutenant Hirsch to inspect the crossings yesterday were Harold Bargman, county engineer; J. G. Keat- ing and w. W. Lane of Florence; R. F.

 MacCullum was taken into custody a few weeks ago following disclosures by postoffice inspector of alleged dis crepancies in accounts at the Superior postoffice. The complaint alleges em- bezzlement of more than $6,000. cover ing a period of more than two years.

 DAY CAMP PA|GN

It is so easy to forget-but Phoe- nix has not forgotten. And yester- day it showed it had not forgotten by giving $1,000 in the Poppy Day" drive for the relief of the children of devastated France.
 Yesterday was Poppy Day in Phoenix. Almost everyone was wearing 6 poppy, a little red poppy of the kind that grows in thou sands on the graves in France. It was hard to keep from wearing a poppy, for nearly a hundred smil- ing girls were on the downtown streets asking every passerby to take a flower. To the credit of the city it is said that there were few refusals, too. for everybody took a poppy and gave in return whatever he or she wished, the amounts ranging from a dime to a dollar. Every contribution helped, for last night Mrs. Leonel Ross O'Bryan, Polly Pry,'' former commissioner of publicity for the Red Cross in the Balkans, who with Miss Helen Ahern is here in the interests of the American and French Children's league, was able to announce that the total for the day would amount to more than 1000.
