and shattered battalion broken on
the wheel of war and counting
in its numbers the blind, the

salutation to the national banner to-

"A rendezvous of faith" was the
phrase by which this initial session
was referred to by the speakers. The
whole convention, they said, is a
plea for the country not to forget. as
the broken veteran intends to cling
to his faith in the things for which
he fought.
Today was given over to merry

and Wind Storm
Hits Holdrege

Damaged and Wire Lines
Blown Down-Woman
Imprisoned in House.

Holdrege, Neb., June 26.-(Spe-
cial.) A terrific rain and hail storm,
accompanied by wind OF cyclonic
proportions, caused heavy damage to
property and crops in this vicinity
Sunday evening.
The storm, said to have been the
most violent experienced here, laid
low standing grain, unroofed build
ings and tore down telephone, tele-
graph and electric light poles and
wires. Coming up from the north.
the wind and hail cut swath about
five miles wide and seemed to be
made up of thousand small twisters,
accompanied by downpour of rain.
In the north part of the city, G..
I. Titus garage was lifted from its
foundation, carried 20 feet and
smashed. The automobiles inside
were undamaged The home OF Joe
Johnson and the Engstrom green
house were badly damaged.
Chimneys Blown Down.
Chimneys on the residences of D.
]. Fink, John Hult and Robert Perry
were blown over, wrecking the roofs
and allowing rain and hail to damage
the interiors.
"Grandma" Gustafson, nearly 70,
was alone in her home on East ave-
nue.. The house was turned nearly
around on its foundation
and all of the doors jammed. Neigh
bors rescued her through a window
after the storm.
Another freak of the storm oc-
Cured three blocks west. The gar
age of J. Lindall was picked up by
the wind, carried over another small
and set down on top of the
Beirman garage. Both of the build
ings then crashed through the root
Of neighbor's barn.
Cellars Flooded.
The heavy fall of hail blocked the
storm sewers in the lower parts of
the city and nearly 100 cellars were
reported flooded with water to
depth of from one to Il feet.
At the farm OF Robert Cain, south
Of Holdrege, barn was demolished
and two windmills blown down.
lights and roofs all over
the city were damaged by hail stones.
Cherry trees, loaded before the storm,
were stripped Of every cherry and
of young chickens were
killed.
Tourists camping in the city park
we're compelled to seek higher
ground to avoid the water. 1t is
estimated that SIS inches OF rain
fell in as minutes.

Fremont Deputy
Thwarts Attempt
to Escape Jail
Combination Lock Partly
Sawed Away-Towel Used
to Conceal Operation
Alleged Robber Blamed.

Fremont, Neb., June 26.-(Specia1
Telegram )-Another attempt to
break out of the Dodge county Jail
was frustrated here early to-day when
jail deputies discovered the combina-
ton lock on the "bull pen" had been
partly sawed away Deputy Sheriff
Leslie Hssson, who discovered the
attempt, found the lock covered by
towel apparently hung up to dry.
He places the blame on William
Collins, recently returned from keo-
kuk, Ia, on charge of robbery.
Collins is charged with having
hurled brick through the plate glass
window of jewelry store here
some time ago and making away
with the contents.
The lock is part of the big steel
door which gives the prisoners ac-
cess to the roof OF the Jail. Jail at
taches found several pieces of saw
and a large knife in Collins cell.
Two prisoners, Earnest Lundberg
and William Milard, the former still
at large, made their escape from the
Dodge county Jail some months ago
in the same manner
After taking the lock to pieces
they crawled through a ventilator
to the floor below and made their
escape. Millard was later recaptured
when he tried to visit his wife.
