WHITSETT FEARS
CHILDREN LOST in
DAM DISASTER
Worried by Story of Eight
Thought Lost i'm Coast
Flood

Did Mr. and Mrs. Lee Kelly and their
six children, until March / residents of
Douglas and vicinity, lose their lives
in the flood caused by the dam break
ing in San Francisquito canyon?
The foregoing question is giving some
worry to the friends and acquaint-
ances of the people who lived here.
The worry started over story sent
out from Los Angeles concerning two
automobiles that had stopped in the
path of the flood waters near New
hall the night before the flood was let
loose by the breaking of the DAM So
far as known here nothing has been
seen of the people since that date.
The story from the coast said that
one man who lived at the edge of the
path of the flood recalled that o party
of eight persons had been camped
there and that they were travelling in
two cars bearing Arizona license plates.
II is inferred from the story that the
cars may have been found but no
statement is made as to the license
numbers nor the make of cars.
On March at Lordsburg, Kelly was
married to Mrs. j. D. Whitsett, who
had but recently secured divorce
from her former husband. They came
to Douglas and left here for the coast
on March 2, travelling in Ford tour
ing car and Ford sedan, taking with
them Kelly's two children by his for
mer wife and Mrs. Whitsetts four
children That made a party of eight
in the two cars and it was that fact
that first attracted attention of local
people when they saw the story of the
eight people travelling in two Arizona
cars that were supposed to have been
lost in the flood.
j. D. Whitsett of 526 Fifteenth
street, former husband of Mrs. Kelly
and the father of her four children,
is much concerned about the welfare
of the children and last night took
steps to discover whether there was
any reason to conclude that the eight
seen near Newhall included his four
children and his former wife.

spread the automobile drag net early
Wednesday morning when kilograms
were received from Sheriff H. M.
Tate of Stafford relating that safe
had been blown there Tuesday night
and $1,000 in currency and checks

The kilograms say nothing more
about the robbery but explain that
two or three men escaped in a big
green sedan and probably have the
loot with them. The description is
very incomplete but all local officers
from the constable to the deputy sher-

the blockade that has been success
fully used in this district scores of
times in other cases.
If the robbers come this way and
are in a green sedan they will be

Do you enjoy your food?

IF you do not enjoy your food it
4 is a true sign that you are los
ing your appetite. And when your
appetite is "gone" it means you
haven't the resistance to ward off
disease. Loss of appetite is only a
symptom. General weakness per-
vades the entire body. There is no
desire to work or play.
Rich, red, blood builds and
SmstGins
Your physician will tell you that
lowered vitality is the result of in
sufficient supply Of red blood cells
those vitalizing elements in the
blood that nourish and sustain the
body.
When you get your red blood
cells back to normal, that sluggish,
let-down feeling, loss of appetite,
rheumatism, boils, pimples, and
skin troubles disappear. You get
hungry again; sleep soundly; solid
flesh takes the place of that which
was once fabby. You feel strong;
and your nerves become steady.

months before Mr. Vincent Massey took
over the Canadian legation and the task
of caring for four small girls or of es-
tablishing them in a home in Wash
ington proved a trying problem. When
opportunity offered, it was logical that
he would accept the Ottawa post and
bring his little girls to that city under
the care of an elderly relative who
would not consent to living in Wash
ington. The counselor of the Canadian
legation Is a distinguished journalist
and author and until his acceptance OF
