WIbAUX RESIDENTS

Storm Last Night May Have
Flooded Hodges, Mont, Ac-
cording to Rumors

Wibaux. Mont. June ll.-tP)-
Typhoid immunization serum was be-
ing administered to residents of Wi
baux today as preventive measure.
r. A. Shepard Of st. Louis. Mo-.

Four pumps are working now and two
more are expected today.
Meanwhile the Red Cross was at
tempting to run down rumors that
families living in the valley above
and below WibauX had been wiped
out. Every such rumor investigated
to date has proved groundless. how
ever. and the death list remains at
three.
An unverified report was received
here shortly before noon that the
town of Hodges. IS miles west of Wi
baux. had been flooded by the addi-
tional rain. An effort was being made
to find out the facts.
Tests made by the city health de-
partment today showed that the Wi
baux water supply again is fit to
drink. The water comes from arte-
sian wells.
Sever Knutson, once reported dead,
has been found. Two families who
lived In the path of the flood also
escaped, investigation showed.
