Beads and corona appeared at the

declining phase of the spectacle they
reappeared at the right side. After
that the two astral bodies slowly dis
engaged themselves from the line OF
vision, and .drifted off on separate
paths.
The meeting, the embrace with the
short promenade they took together
occupied two hours and twenty min
utes of clock time. AT Oil a. m. they

phenomenon and especially the mis-

DAWSON IS VICTOR OVER
THE SALE CITY QUINTET
Defeat One Time State Champions
By Score of 20 to 18.

AS the basket ball season slowly ap-
breaches the end the Dawson high
school quintet journeyed down to Sale
City on Friday evening and defeated
that five by the close score OF ~ to
rs. This was the first indoor basket
ball game which had been played in
Sale City, taking place in the new
gymnasium which has just been COM
pleted and which, according to the
Dawson boys, is the finest they have
ever played in. A packed house saw
the struggle, in which Dawson led by
a small margin throughout the game.
The Sale City aggregation, which
barely won from the locals here early
in the season, took no chances on al
lowing Captain Bridges, OF the d. r..
S. squad to run up the score as he
did when they played in Dawson Ac-
cordingly, three men were detailed to
keen close watch on the red-headed
streak. 1t was impossible for him to
get more than one lair shot, which he
took advantage OF by looping in two
points, but he showed them won
derful example of defensive work IN
SO closely guarding Bridges they did
net reckon with Tedder and Jones,
who are no mean shots themselves and
showed them that the locals were no
one-man team. Tedder scored eleven
points and Jones seven points.
In winning their first game OF the
season the Dawson boys deserve much
credit for defeating the team that has
been considered as one OF the best high
school .fves i'll the state for several
years.

DESOLATION FOUND
BY HOME OWNERS
NEWTON DWELLINGS UNDER
WATER TEN DAYS. HOUSE
HOLD EFFECTS ALL LOST.

NEWTON, Cattle completeness
of the food waters destruction in the
dwellings of Newton has now become
apparent. Thursday it was possible to
get into a number OF dwellings for
the first time, and an inventory of the
wreckage in stores and Offices is be-
ing made.
Dwellings that had been under wa
ter for 10 DAYS were able to be enter
ed. and what the owners found beg
gars description. Owing to the rapid
ty of the foods rise at Newton it was
/ impossible to remove either household
effects or merchandise. The best that
could be done was to place rugs, bed
ding, clothing and other articles which
water would ruin on the tops of dress
ers. tables and mantels, while in the
stores merchandise was elevated to the
higher shelves and tables placed on
the counters.
But the crest of the food rose high
above what had been anticipated with
the result that the top shelves i'll the
stores were covered, and in many
dwellings the water went up to the
ceiling. The result was that all house
hold goods were ruined, including
pianos, victrolas, radio sets, fine furni-
ture and valuable clothing.
House Washed Away.
Mud settled over everything as the
river went down, and the contents of
imanv stores and dwellings are COM
plete loss.
Cows stood on tops of barns, and
roosters crowed from the housetops.
Some OF the smaller houses and gar
ages were washed away and lodged in
trees, while many of the barns which
held to their foundations contained
the decaying bodies OF cattle and hors-
es and chickens.
Relief work at Newton is proceed
ling satisfactorily Typhoid inocula-
tons are being made compulsory, and
daily meetings for instruction in SAM
tation are being held.
A cleanup campaign will be imme-
diately begun under direction OF the
Red Cross and all emergency plant
for the disinfecting OF bedding and
other salvaged articles is being plan
ned
The food situation has been relieved
by supplies that have come in from
a number OF neighboring towns.

Dove Season Has Closed;
Will Prosecute Violators
Game Warden Will Reward Anyone
Reporting Unlawful Hunting.

The dove shooting season, both
state and federal, closed on Saturday,
January 31st, and it is now unlawful
to kill these birds.
The county game warden, O. L. Nc
Neil, SAYS that the closest watch will
be kept for violators of the law, and
all will be vigorously prosecuted. Mr..
Mcneil states that he will give half
the fine to anyone who reports any
hunting or possession OF doves out OF
season.
In the past the law prohibiting the
killing of doves has been disregarded
to a great extent because OF the con
fict in state and federal laws with the
result that these birds are fast disap-
pearing.
