sky, lighting the haze with n ghast.
ly red glow.
The lava pours down the noun
tain sides and over the surrounding
country at terrific speed. A line Of
railroad has gone under; the station
at Castigiion burst into flames and
then was buried in lava.
As in the days of Old Pompeii
the terror of the volcano has com
mmicated itself to the country side
for miles arcgnd.
Cattle and sheep are being driven
in great herds from the direction
of Aetna. The poPalace fills the
streets of nearby towns, even of
those at n safe distance. No work
is being done.
Tops CT Aetna Blows Off
The eruption began at m cary
hour Sunday morning with terrific
explosion as though the end of the
world had come. The whole top of
Aetna appeared tc have been blown
off. Then followed a rain of lapiili
and ashes which felt steadily for
many minutes after the blast. The
population of villages at the foot
of Mount Aetna rushed from their
homes ard gathered in the streets,
ehattering excitedly. They sought
aid in the churches; many fell on
their knees and prayed. All about
them fell lapilli aud hot ashes while
1 thick pail of impenetrahlc smoke
hung over their heads, so that they
could not see what threatened.
Castiglion and Lingua Glossa lay
in the path of the destructive mass
IS. These towns quickly cmptied
themselves of inhabitants.
BY afternoon they were destroyed.
Great clouds Of smoke seen by the
fleeing people who glanced over
their shoulders told first of the
destruction of the pine forests of
Lingua Glossa, then OF the town it.
self. Then the lava reached the
railroad and the station was burned.
Earthquakes Add Terror
Darkness came on but there was
10 cessation OF the lava's advance.
By this time people from all the
surrounding coutry were in fight.
just before midnight strong
earth shock was felt, adding its
terrors to those of the eduption.
Houses trembled on their founda-
t;ons and the reads along which the
Inhabitants of the destroyed villages
we're escaping, rose and shook ben
eath the despairing cavalcades.
A new mouth was seen to have
opened in the volcano S side. Ii
was near spot named Mount Nero,
after the emperor of ancient days,
and from this new hole the most
terrifying flow Of lava came, racing
ahead of the other streams.
The prefect OF Catania was IN
formed of the disaster and hurried
to the vicinity of Lingua Glossa. He
was accompanied by a deputy and
by the local authorities. Later
Bishop Acircale arrived and gave
what comfort he could to the pop
1lation.
Relief trains were ordered out
20 proceed to the stricken district
and troops were despatched to lend
what aid they could.

Pena Denied Writ
of Habeas Corpus

In the superior court this NOR
ming, Judge IL. w. Conkling denied
a writ of habeas corpus for Jose
Pena, application for which was
filed Saturday by Miller X. Kinds,
attorney for Pena. Pena was arrest
ed by the Ell Centre police several
months ago. for violation of the liq-
uor ordinance and was sentenced to
paw fine of 5000 and serve 60
days in Jail on two charges of hay
ing in his possession and selling il
unlawfuily.
Attorney Kinds contended that
the sentence imposed by Judge
Thompson in the FL Centr opo!ice
court exceeded the jurisdiction Of
that court, also that the city Crdia-
.ancc under which sentence was i'm
posed is illegal and unconstitutional.
IN denying the writ, Judge Conk-
ling upheld the legality of the pol
ice court S jurisdiction and of the
city ordinance. Pena will therefore
have 10 remain in jail.
Attorney Charles +. Scott repre-
sented the city of FL Centre in the
action and Pcna was defended by
Miller K. Kinds and John A. Berry.

BLoNDENA ROSE sHERARD

While death was hourly expected a
gloom of sadness was spread over the
city when Mrs. Villa n A Sherard
passed away, Sunday, Feb. IL, 1928,
at the home of her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. c. A. Rose, of North 9Th street,
Payette, Idaho.
Blondena Rose was born at Stan
berry, Missouri, Dec. 8, 1897. At the
age of 16 years she came to Payette,
Idaho with he parents. She received
her education in the east, and was
graduate from the Links Business
College, of Boise, Idaho. Her quiet
and sunny disposition had won for
her a host of friends both in her so,
cial life and business career, which
was shown by the many beaulful
floral offerings on her casket.
She became a worker for Christ at
the age of thirteen years, and was
willing worker in the Baptist church
of Payette, and the Methodist church
of Cascade. Idaho. She was stricken
some two years ago with the great
dreaded disease with other compllca-
tions added. She made hard fight
to over come it all. The tireless ef-
forts of faithful and loving husband
could not even stay the hold it had
upon her.
On Sept. End, 1919 she was united
in marriage to William a. Sherard
at Boise, Idaho. They made their
home at Cascade, Idaho. Besides her
husband she leaves to mourn her loss
a feather and mother, two sisters,
Neville C. Rose, Mrs. Hakel Enos, of
Adrian, Ore, two brothers, Cecil c.
Rose and John Wesley Rose. Two
brothers, James Herbert and Charles
Allen Rose having preceded her TO
that great Beyond. She leaves also
host of friends and relatives both
here and in Missouri.
Her earthly sorrows are over, she
bore cross heavy with sufefrings.
She was laid to rest by loving hands
in the Riverside cemtery Of Payette,
Idaho, Feb. 10, 1928.
In Heaven there will be no parting,
no rin to bear;
No care worn brow, no sigh, no sill
very hair;
No death to snatch our loved ones
from our side,
No angry waves, no sea, no treacher-
our tide.

BIG TIME At
THE ELKS CLUB

We had the pleasure of being an
invited guest at the Elk's banquet
and smoker Wednesday evening and
during the two hours entertainment
including the banquet, laughed more
in that same length of time than we
have done in years, and yet, in that
bunch, it was fairly dangerous to be
be safe. The sport was all harmless
in every way, but to an Editor, who
never before entered into the circle
of lot of bull Elks, it didn't look
so. We don't suppose we were en-
lightened in any way, into the mys-
teries, or secret part of the order, but
just saw enough to know that a fel-
low with a weak heart, ring bones,
spayins or inclined to be goosie, had
better stay out. The meeting finely
settled down to little safer plan for
tender-foot and we really enjoyed
the quartette singing, music by the
orchestra, and the boxing bouts. Two
boxing bouts, between Harry Burns /
VS.. Paul Sengbeil; Sam Genoway VS..
Young Bosch, was a most friendly af-
fair but showed some very clever I
athletic ability, also Pat Murphy'sl
stunt, we cannot tell you about that
you will have to ask him.
Thanks to the club for the invita- !
ton, we enjoyed every minute CT the |
time.

figuring, selling and profitable prices.
He proved every statement he madcl
with simple figures. He demon

sary attention to his cost and selling
system. The fact that he held the /
crowd three hours without dinner and 1
hat they were still ready to remAtpl
another three hours was satisfactotyn
evidence that they were interested hrl
