Little Girl F'rightfully Burned

! Elizabeth, the four year old
daughter of John Kachovec, who
resides on the former wilkins farm
" miles northeast of this place,
was terribly burned about the body
last Friday at $50 p. m. She was
father and brother had gone TO the
barn TO do the feeding. the rest of
the children being at school Her
mother died less than a, year
ago. In some manner her dress
caught fire from an open fireplace
] She ran into the yard and screamed
| for help. Her brother Andy hear
ing her call for help rushed to her
and smothered the fire by applying
snow, but not until her hair and
the back part of her body from the
waist down was badly burned. The
neighbors Mrs. Fannie McFerren
and Mrs. Alice Hook soon arrived
and gave her first aid until the doc
tor from Reinersville arrived and
rendered medical aid. The burns
| are causing her much pain, but she
is resting as well as could be ex-

They report her seriously burned
This case is one of the many that
comes to our mind. where the
school law is too rigid in forcing er-
cry child of school age to go to
school. There should be provisions
in the law to excuse certain cases
where it is almost impossible to
spare some of the children from the
home. In this case We refer to An
na kachovec. the IS year old
daughter Of John Kachovec, and the
sister of this little girl that is so
badly burned. She is the house
keeper and caretaker of the younger
sisters, and We are told that she
does it we'll, but she is forced to go
to school and it was while she was
at school and absent from the
home that the little girl met with
her misfortune. We believe that
our truant officer should investi-
gate and see if there can be a way
to excuse such cases from being
forced from the home, when it en-
dangers the life of other members
of the family We offer no criti-
cism of our worthy superiors. but
believe the life of little child is
far superior to the extra education
that they will receive in one school
term.

Officials Blamed For Failure
Of Government to Supply
North Platte Valley With
Needed Water-Fear Ex-
pressed That Farmers May
Use Force.

SCOTS Bluff, Neb., May 28-tP)---
Dr.. Hubert Work, secretary Of the
interior, and DR.. Elwood Mead, COM
in cffigy here last night by an angry
group of farmers and citizens who
blame them for failure of the gov
ernmcnt to supply the irrigated
North Platte valley with needed
water from the government project.
The two cffigics were left dang
ling in front of the office of the
Water Users association which is
the central organization of the North
Platte valley farmers who are now
seeking water.
One Of tho effigics had but one
arm with sign, DIR. Elwood Mead"
attached to it. DR.. Mead has but
one arm. The other cffigy was mark
cd "Dr. Work.. This sign was found
ON the effigy:
"For breaking his word and dcpriv-
ing a project Of water"
May Use Force
The hanging of the effigcs is the
first intimation Of violence or dras-
tic action since the trouble over wa
ter started, but those conversant with
the situation fear that unless relief
is extended soon the farmers may at
tempt to fOrcibly gain control Of the
lateral gates Of the vast irrigation
system and feed water to their dry
crops.
When the irrigation project was
started several years ago, the gov
crnmcnt placed Il construction charge
which should be paid over num-
Der of years at varying costs in ad-
dition to charging so much per acre
for supplying water to the farmers
of the project, who raise mostly su-
gar beets. Later, however, this charge
was increased and many Of the farm
crs failed to make payments. The
government refused to open the wa
ter to the delinquents. until all past
dues are paid or until hotes are sign
ed giving the government some prom
Use of payment. This the valley
farmers decline to do, claiming the
government should turn on the wa
ter until all irrigated lands are re-
classified according to the terms of
the omnibus water bill, recently
signed by President Coolidge, making
provision for a downward readjust-
mcnt Of about $23,0O0,00O on con
struction and other charges levied
against IL western reclamation prof
ects.
The farmers claim DIR. Work agreed
to this delay in payments only tO
change his mind and demand pay
ment of delinquent dues.
The North Platte valley project is
one Of the largest in the world. pro-
viding drought insurance for $4,000
farms throughout $4,000 irrigation
canals and bitches.

MINE WORKER
PRAISED FOR
HIS HER0ISM
Courage and Quick Action Of
Assistant Foreman
Saved 63 Miners
FIRE IS ExTINGUIsHED
Hisl0p Dashed Into the Mine
and Opened Doors To
Divert the Smoke

Scranton, Pa. May 28.-tP)--
Praise for the heroism of Thomas
Hisiop. whose quick action and cour-
age yesterday saved G3 miners from
suffocation in n burning mine, was
heard today throughout the Wyoming
valley
Trapped in an eleven-foot vein Of
the Mount Lookout Colliery Of the
Temple Anthracite company at
Wyoming, the 63 men were led by
Hislop through the smoke filled tun-
mel to safety after he had battled his
way through the burning timbers to
reach them.
Hislop, an assistant foreman, was
on the surface when the fire was re-
ported 20 feet from the mouth Of
shaft. Realizing that the smoke driv-
en- back into the workings soon would
become suffocating, Hishop dashed
into the mine and with his son, Rob-
crt, who was working at the foot Of
the shaft, made his way to the doors
leading from the main tunnel to the
chambers. By opening these doors
the air current was diverted and the
smoke carried back into the shaft.
Rushing from chamber to chamber.
HislOp rounded up the workers, led
them to Il place of safety and kept
them there for hours until rescue
crews and fire fighters extinguishcd
the flames.
Great excitement prevailed at the
mouth Of the mine until it was an
nounced that Hislop had gone down
the shaft. Then tears turned to
smiles, for all were confident Of his
ability to find way. out for the en-
trapped men. Five hours later, the
men were brought to the surface.

I'm OF Canyon, Texas, one of five
Americans now in the hands Of out
laws in various parts Of Mexico.
The Mexican authorities probably
were spurred to their efforts because
the bandits had set six D. m. Thurs
day for killing Shanklin. sugar
plantation worker, if ransom of
10000 pesos had not been received at
that hour.
Two other Americans were taken
in the Tampico oil region Yesterday
and at last accounts we're being held
for ransom. or death, if the money
was not forthcoming. They were oil
drillcrs named Briggs and Greeley.
Other Captives
In addition to Shanklin. Briggs and
Greeley there are in the hands of
outlaws, c. c. Braden, Of Laredo.
Texas. a mine owner, and mining
engineer named Gallagher They are
held in the state Of Durango. Last
reports said Braden was being i'll
treated.
No information has been received
here today as to whether the bandits
had fulfilled their threat to kill
Shanklin. Nor was there any news
of the fate of the other prisoners. n !;
The Mexican government asserts
that it is doing all in it's power to
run down the captors of the five
Americans. The government is deter
mined to extermnate the bandits,
as they are declared to be endeavor-
ing to embroil the government with
the United States. There is dis
position in some quarters to believe
that the bandits are bluffing and that
they will not kill Shanklin.
