FOUR DROWNED IN
COTTON CREEK

Last Thursday night the Cotton
Creek, small tributary OF the Paw
nee, usually dry bed, went en- ram
page form cloud burst, and took
terrible toll of life from the Carl Da-
Wis family; drowning Mrs. Davis and
three children.
The mother was about 2S years
Of age, and the three children were
Madeline, aged g.; Carol, aged 4:
and the baby. Doris Maxine was 10
months.
The house was built on low ground
near the junction OF two dry creek
beds. 1t extended about five feet
below ground. The family awoke in
the night to hear the waters beating
upon the house. Mr.. Davis succeeded
In lifting his wife and children out
of window in the second story Of !,
the house. Taking a child by the
hand on one side, and holding the
hand of his wife, who carried the ba-
by, and with another child on his
back, he rushed toward higher
ground. But the wall Of water struck
the little group and bore away Mrs.
Davis, one Of the little girls and the
baby. Mr.. Davis struggled on and
clung to a post, Another great wave
came, tore the child from his back
and swept him into the food. When
morning came he found himself fast
In wire fence. He escaped. badly
torn by the wire. and went to the
home OF a neighbor, James Craig.
Search for the missing was start
ed Immediately. The body Of Mrs.
Davis was found on the James CO.
zad place, about nine miles west of
Sterling. a distance, by the winding
course of the stream of about 25
miles, about 10 o'clock Friday morn
ing The body of the baby was found
In the dcor-yard soon afterward,
caught in the wire fence. The house
had been literally splintered by the
water. Mr.. Davis, badly cut by the
wires. was In critical condition and
was taken to the sanitarium at Brush
The bodies will probably be taken
TO Riberton, Iowa, for burial.
More cr less hail accompanied the
rain In the section where the above
Hood took place, and this made the
water extremely cold and the condi-
tion of Mr.. Davis was rendered more
critical from the exposure in the cold
water.
The storm causing the drowning
told of above, washed out bridges on
the railroad between here and Ster-
ling and no trains arrived from the
east until late Monday. Several 9Th
er bridges were washed out on the
highway, and the tranis from Dem
yer TO Sterling were shut out of Ster-
ling via their usual routes By loss of
bridges and track between Sterling
and Morgan, and further west along

'Katcha -Koo' To Be
At Grand June 23rd

Quite the most attractive entertain
ment given in Fitzgerald for a long
time, will be the musical COMEDY
"Katcha Koo," which will be pre-
scented at the Grand Theatre on Tune
23rd.
Although it is to be amateur pro-
duction, it will be far from that in
reality for it savors of the profession
al and will be far better than many
road shows seen in this city.
The plot and story of the comedy
is interesting, the music bright and
melodious while the dancing is far
above the ordinary. There is plenty
of action from the time the curtain
rises or the scene of the Marajah's
Temple of Buddha in East India, UNI
til it drops right after the grand
American patriotic finale, entitled
Liberty Ahame" The principals in
clude some of the very best local
amateur talent, all of whom are TAX
ing personal interest In making the
play tremendous success.

LOCAL BOY TO BOX
SOUTHERN CHAMP
Jim Brown VS. Cracker Ander-
SON Bout Monday Night
FOR Y. M. R. c. BENEFIT
Will Box Ten Rounds to Finish
at Old Skating Rink

For the beneht " The Young Mems
Recreation Center, Cracker" An.
'derson, heavyweight champion of
the South, will box Jim Brown ten
rounds to a decision at the old skat-
ing rink at the Blue and Gray Park
Monday night June 18th The card
will open at $50 O'Clock with a fast
preliminary bout by two local light
weight boxers.
Cracker" Anderson has been de-
feated only twice in nearly five
years during which time he has de-
tended his claim to the heavyweight
championship OF the South and has
come back in return bouts against
both of those boxers. His boxing
weight is 100 pounds and he went
into training yesterday for the Mon
day night bout. He will take a six
mile run tomorrow and spar few
rounds with local boy to keep in
condition. Sunday he will do few
miles of roadwork and spend most
of the day resting.
lin Brown is a local boy who has
shown unusual ability in amateur
bouts. In a street corner conversa-
ton about the fight one fan warned
Brown that he would be licked to
FRAGILE. "You never have heard of
anyone licking me have your" said
Brown. 1t developed i'll the talk that
Brown has never been whipped in
fight although ne has been in hun
dreds of scraps ever since kid days.
Brown is two pounds heavier than
the Cracker" has an advantage of
about two inches in reach and height.
Both boxers are in perfect condition.
All the proceeds of the match
above the actual expenses will go to
the Young Mems Recreation Center
which is badly in need of funds for
additional equipment. The match is
being promoted by member of the
board of managers of the Young
Mems Recreation Center, in hope of
p, ting the organization on its feet.
,The Young Mems Recreation Cen
>ttZAis growing very popular and
p Ales of volley ball are being played
every night, except Sunday and We'd
nesday nights, on the court with an
ever increasing attendance. With
more money the organization could
extend its work and render a great
service to the city. If the match
Monday night proves success, other
entertainments will be arranged by
N1e board of managers to raise funds.

which the section hands were riding
was badly wrecked and Clifford John

one had unlocked the switch and set
the rails so that train running over
this spot would be thrown off the
track The lock was found a short
distance away where it had been
