MADDOX DRIVE
TOOK $4,000 IN
DEMOCRAT GIFT
GubernatOrial Candidate Re
ceived National Aid, Report
Indicates

That Walter Maddox received
$4,000 from the Democratic nation
al committee with which to conduct
his campaign for the governorship
of North Dakota, is indicated in a
recent report of Howard Wood,
treasurer of the "North Dakota
Agricultural League"
Woods report was filed with Will
liam Tyler Page, clerk Of the house
of representatives.
The repor.. shows. two separate
contributions of $4,000 each from
George NJ. Peek's Independent or
ganization committee on Oct. 20 and
Oct. 27.
A total Of $2,536.45 is shown up to
Nov. /, by the statement.
The repol: evidently does not in
clude all the receipts, because Sena-
tor Lynn J. Frazier's prediction
statement to the clerk shows a con-
tribution of 500 to the Frazier
Maddox committee, and this does
not appear in Woods report.
The report was filed with the
clerk of the house of representatives
because money was received from a
national political organization. A
state campaign, financed by state
contributions, does not necessitate a
statement to the house clerk.
Hall Drive Expensive
The statements filed by North Da-
kota candidates show that it cost
Congressman Tom Hall considerably
more to be reelected than it did the
other congressional delegates. Hall,
according to his report, was sup
ported financially by the Republican
congressional committee.
The congressional statements are:
First District
W. S. Hooper, Democrat ...$ 7.75
0. B. Burtness, Republican $500
Second District
Tom Hall, Republican .$2278.26
J. L. Page, Democrat ...... 584.6O
Third District
J. H. Sinclair, Republican. S 1892
r. H. Leavitt, Democrat !. None
The prediction statements Of
Senator Lynn j. Frazier and F. F.
Burchard, his Democratic opponent,
show: Up to Oct. 26, Frazier re-
ceived nothing and paid out 500 to
the Frazier-Maddock committee;
Burchard, up to Oct. Is, received
nothing and gave 500 to the Dem
ocratic national committee.

Big Muddy Dangerous
The Missouri was dangerously close
to flood stage across the entire

highways throughout the state were
blocked.
The number Of homeless ran hirh
into the thousands. One thousand

Omaha Fiend POunceS on Vic
tins in Sleep Crushing
Skulls With Hatchet
Three Children of Two Famil-
les Attacked Left Unharmed
in Cribs

Omaha, Neb., Nov. 2O.-(R)-A
maniac "hatchet man" who in brutal
fury pounces upon his victims as
they sleep, and smashes in their
skulls with his instrument Of death
was sought by Omaha police today
for the killing of two women and an
aged man and the wounding of an
other man and his wife within a 4S-
hour period.
While the madman apparently
Stays grown persons without mercy,
he does not harm babies. Three chill
dren Of two of the families he at
tackled were left unharmed in their
cribs.
The latest victims of the killer, de-
scribed by the police as "a fiend, a
crazy man." were Harold Stribling,
%, former high school football star,
and his wife, who were attacked
early today as they slept.
Asks to See Baby
He entered the Stribling home at
3 o'clock, beat in Stribling's head
after a struggle, then calmly turned
on the lights, washed his hands,
and asked Mrs. Stribling to see the
baby. He stood over its crib for
several minutes, then forced Mrs.
Stribling to 60 with him to the East
Omaha swamps, where she finally
escaped after three hours. Stribling,
doctors said, probably will die, and
his wife is in q hospital, cruelty
beaten, and may lose the sight of
one eye.
The attack on the Striblings came
while hundreds of police were search
ing the city for the maniac for the
killing of two women and an aged
man "a hours earlier. His first VIC
Tins were Mrs. Walter Resso. 21-
year-old mother of three children:
her sister, Greta Brown, 18, and ].
H. Blackman, Is, an expressman.
Blackman was killed Sunday
morning as he slept, his head appar-
emily crushed in with the hammer
side of q hatchet. His son found
the body covered with q comforter
in the Blackman home, and outside
found blood-smeared hatchet and
a shoe.
Husband Finds Bodies
The bodies of the women were
found yesterday afternoon when
Mrs. Resso's husband arrived home
from work.
The crazy man had hacked their
heads open with his hatchet. Mrs.
Resso's body was found downstairs
covered with comforter, as Black
mans had been. Beside her in a
crib lay two of her children, who
were unharmed. The Brown girls
body, similarly mutilated and COW
cred with q comforter, was found up
stairs.
Clothing had been stripped from
the bodies of both women. but there
was no evidence that they had been
criminally assaulted. The Resso and
Blackman homes were ransacked,
and from one of them q small sum
Of money was missing. All the vic

How Just a Maid and
Man Became Sea Heroes
Identities Didn't Count in This
Saga of Courage in Vestris
Tragedy
..RvrCENR COHN.

New York, Nov. 2O.-Out of the
backwash of horror that has swept
in from the unmarked sea grave Of
the S. S. Vestris, there remains one
episode that is unique as study in
human values. Already the names
Of Clara Ball and Paul Dana have
become linked in a glowing tale of
courage and an epic of survival. Al
ready they share what glory may lie
in the curt comment of an old sea-
man-"the pluckiest pair l have ever
met"
Yet, had Clara Ball met Paul
Dana a few weeks ago she would
have given a polite Eyes, sir" or
"No, sir" to some request for service.
She would have brought clean towels
to the stateroom or supplied fresh
pitcher of water. None ever would
have so much as suspected, or had
reason to question, her potentialities
in q grim and terrible crisis.
Just a Stewardess
For Clara Ball was just another
stewardess aboard q ship-a role in
volving more than average ano-
nymity, since a boat is very tiny
world, and once it cuts loose from
its port only a fraction of this tiny
world is passingly aware Of its serv-
ants.
And Paul Dana was wealthy
corporation representative from
South America.
But when they did meet, Clara
Ball was clinging to one end of a
bit of wreckage and Paul Dana was
clinging to. another. Thus, with
waves breaking over them from time
to time and threatening to hammer
loose their stubborn hold on bit Of
spar, they faced death together for
% hours.
What do people talk about and
think about under such circum-
stances, one is inclined to wonder.
An Introduction
It was some three hours after
they had been tossing about help
lessly, seemingly headed for cer-
tain death, that it occurred to Dana
to wonder about the identity of his
partner in violent journey to etern-
ity.
"Who are you?" Dana asked
finally. his voice carrying weakly
through the splash and churn Of the
sea.
Clara Ball, ill from swallowing
pints of sea water, actually smiled
at the question. Surely this was
q strange place for introductions and
the observation of social conventions.
So she answered: "Oh, I'm just q
stewardess from the ship"
It occurred suddenly to both Of
them that identifications are man.
