aged Horse PULLED
FROM OLD CESSPOOL
FIossie, Old Gray Mare, Rescued
BY Strategy Of Joe Spies.
Who Knows How

The old gray mare came very near
illustrating the song refrain that she
isn't what she used to be-" Thursday
afternoon. while John Jahncr was
plowing the lot in the rear of 2l8
First street for Joseph s. Wright.
The mare In question was Flossie,
part Of the contracting outfit of O.
M. Anderson. Unknown to all con-
cerned in the job. there was an old
cesspool on the tract. When the plow-
ing had been nearly completed, Flos-
sic suddenly began to sink by the
hindQuarters rs Jahner was drawing
one Of the final burrows. Down she
went through rotten timber coverings
until only her head was visible. Jah-
ner managed to avert the sinking Of
Flossic's bay mate.
A rope was resortcd to for Flossie's S
removal. A loop was cast around her
neck, but the horse was unable to
scramble out as Jalaner and Ander-
son pulled at the other end. Besides.
Flossie nearly strangled.
Joe Spies, who has had experience
in two such instances, came over from
his garden operations, and gave An
derson and his staff man the benefit
Of his knowledge. An incline was dug
and then, by pulling on ropes. Flossie
was assisted to scramble up to the
surface again. She wasn't hurt, ex-
cept that her back was scraped by
some Of the broken timbers. and she
promptly went back into the harness.
Mr.. Spies once assisted In getting q
horse out Of we'll 140 feet deep. The
animal fell into 20 feet Of water and
was fished out by means Of . wind
lass. thereafter living 30 years.
In view Of this episode. Flossie's
performance was comparatively ANA
teurish to Mr.. Spies.

ical Calm Pain of Broken
Arms and Legs

Rye Cove, Va, May 3--Np-Gricf-
stricken parents searched tho debris
Of tho Rye Cove consolidated school
today, fearful Of finding additional
victims Of the tornado that yesterday
claimed the lives OF l3 children and
one teacher in the greatest disaster
ever known to this western Virginia
mountain village.
Caught without warning as they
we're rc-entering the two story frame
school house after tho noon recess,
some of the children were blown 100
yards and others buried in the
wrcckagc when the building was de-
molished by the storm.
Great confusion followed the tor
nado. Anxious fathers worked few
crisl1ly in the ruins, their anxiety in-
tensified because many injured chill
dren had been hurriedly taken to
hospitals before the parents arrived.
Mother Loses Daughters
Mrs. Mary Darnell. mother Of two
girls. could not learn the fate Of her
children for more than four hours
after the storm. She broke down
when told that one of the children,
Bertha Mae Darnell. was dead and
that the other daughter. Hattie,
could not be found.
The body of Miss Ava Carter. q
teacher, was found IS yards from the
school. The body of Polly Carter, IA,
was carried so yards.
About IS children, the most SER
iously injured, were taken in anbu-
lances to Bristol and Kingsport while
others were sent by automobiles,
trucks and wagons to the nearest
railroad station at Clinchport where
q train was converted into Z movable
hospital to take them to Bristol.
Twenty children were trans
ported to Bristol on this train.
Bear Pain Stoically
The scene on the train was pathet-
ic. Many small boys and girls suf-
fercd in silence and bore with stoical
calm their broken arms and legs.
Some feebly attempted to carry on
conversations with their attendants
and one small girl tainted from the
pain of broken leg when placed in
an ambulance. Identification tags
we're pinned to the children.
Because of the isolation OF Rye
Cove. it was more than two hours
before aid could reach the stricken
area over the mountain roads.
J. M. johnson, a farmer, was
standing on the mountain side when
the storm struck and watched its
progress for three miles.
Farmer Saw Destruction
THE school building" johnson
said. vanished in moments time.
You could see it going down the VAL
ley. It ripped apart and rain Of

The Red Cross had taken over re-
lief work today and the unit at Bris-
tol was being reinforced from WASH
ington and Cincinnati. Tetanus anti
toxin sent from Knoxville and nearby
cities was administered to those suf-
fering from decorations while all
available physicians and nurses at
Bristol and Kingsport were called in
to service.
