SEVERE WIND AND RAIN STORM

The storm that swept over this
section on Saturday was a faurious
one. The high wind and driving
rain prevailed all night, and seemed
to grow in intensity hour after hour.
Much damage was done. Growing
corn presented a sorry aspect after
the storm, being twisted, broken anu
blown fiat on the ground.
Shade trees in our town suffered
considerable damage, streets and
yards being strewn with broken
limbs and foliage whipped from the
trees. There was a downpoIr OF
rain that washed fields and roads
badly. The heavy precipitation OF
rain did not cease until Sunday
morning.
: The storm brought relief from the
intensely hot weather that had pre-
vailed for days, when the mercury
was way up in the nineties. There
was such a decided drop in the tenn
perature that there was almost a
fall like feel in the air on Sunday
night.

rest and State Police from Mannheim
raided huge Illicit distillery and
closed one of the largest liquor sup
plies for Lancaster and Philadelphia,
Wednesday, on a farm between
Smyrna and Christiana Three men

ment was estimated at $4,000. 1t
included two stills with a total ca
pacity of 1000 gallons, three tons
of sugar, 200 gallons of finished
liquor and 40 barrels of mash. The
most priced of the seized equipment
is a machine gun, a rifle, and num-
Der of revolvers. The three men
gave their names as George Deck,
who is negro; Ezra Allen and
Harry Hampbell. Five, hundred
rounds of ammunition was found
beside the machine gun, which one

ONE on LINDRERGH

So much has been written of Colonel Lindbergh,
In the past year and his features have become well
known that it is difficult realize that anyone, in the
United States at east,coud not recognize the Lone
Eagle, matter under what circumstances he might
be met
Yet such thing happened, in the little town of
North Platte. Nebraska. The most fashionable hotels
United States at least could not recognize the Lone
have felt honored to have Lindbergh their guests.
Kings, millionares society leaders-the elite of the
world have been proud to turn over lavshy furnished
suites to him.
North Platte hotels told him to move on they had
room for him.
Since his memorable fight to Paris Lndbergh has
often found his personal check to be mo good" He
could not spend his money for folks would not take it.
In North Platte he found his check mo good" for
other reason. The proprietor Of dnky little restau
rant didn't know him" and would not accept check
in payment for breakfast for the famous flyer and his
mechanic so "Lndy" had to dig little deeper in his
pocket for the cash.
The experience certainly unique in the light
OF the attention that has been avished him. There
is doubt that Lindbergh enjoyed it as departure
from the adulatOn that has been accorded him and
which he has never desired.
1t is not altogether fair to class North Platte
hick town. but it cannot be disputed that it must be
sort of a Twentieth Century SLEEPY Hollow
