Is there a family Of horned rabbits

shall sent in the story of horned
rabbit he had shot near Florence.
Last Sunday, Mr.. Ronning shot an
other rabbit on his place near Flor

horned rabbit. The rabbit of two
years ago had two horns, the pre-
sent discovery has but one. But it's
sure enough horn, located in the cent

cottontail, and with the exception of
the horn is like the ordinary rabbit

STRICKEN CITY
PIT|FUL SIGHT

Salvador to Manuague today.
The message was tapped out by
the pilot as he roared high over
the smoking crater of the dormant
volcano, Momotombo, and as he saw
the dissolution spread out before
him. Olsen carried relief supplies
to the STRICKEN city.
Olsen'S message was sent out
from the plane at $3.50 a. m. today
and was somewhat delayed in
transit.
"We were passing the smoking
crater OF Momotombo," Olsens
message said. "Details of Managua
are becoming palmer as we draw
closer to the stricken city. Thin
ribbons of smoke rise from the few
of the buildings left standing which
are partially destroyed by fire.
Where once a checkered pattern
of paved streets lined by brown and
white stone houses could be seen
from the air, now all that is left is
a tumble of broken masonry. The
steel skeleton Of the cathedral I'm

suffered no damage, but in all di-
rections from the cathedral to the
outskirts of the city, the fourth Of

crumbled the majority of the
buildings to the ground.
Debris is being cleared away by
civilians and soldiers, and an at

the number of the casualties"

Crash Which Took Lives of
Rockne, 7 Others, May
Go Unexplained.

COTTONWOOD p ALL S, Kan,
April 1.--While the body of Knute
Rockne, the noted coach. was on its
way to South Bend, Ind, today
splinters of steel and wood on a
meadow near here testified grew
somely to the wreck that brought
sudden death to him and seven
other persuasive passengers and
the two pilots of Transcontinental
and Western Air Express airplane.
AssaAn investigation into the causes
OF the crash was opened today by a
coroner's jury. From scant evidence
available, it appeared the tragedy
might be added to the unexplained
disasters of the air.
The famous coach, en- route from
Kansas City to Los Angeles when
he met his death, was thrown clear
of the plane when it crashed. His
body was mutilated and his head
partly crushed. Both of his legs
were broken. Near the wreckage
was found a rosary. 1t was be-
lieved to be Rockne's.
While reports of the disaster re-
NAMED vague and conflicting, the
mechanics of investigation got I'M
der way.
Two representatives of the de-
partment of commerce arrived.
Leonard Jurden and B. M. Jacobs.
When it crashed, the plane was
flying about six miles off the reg
ular air course between Kansas City
and Wichita, the next stop on the
Trans Continental air line. Its alti-
tude was about 1000 feet Before
the crash, broken wing dropped
from the plane.

MANAGUA, Nicaragua, April L.
The city of Managua will have to be
entirely rebuilt, government officials
said today after a survey of the
damage done by Tuesdays earth
quake.
Almost all of the houses-built of
adobe-were crumbled by the quake
or burned. The water plant was
destroyed and only few of the most
solid buildings such as the Ma
tional Bank building and the iso-
lated presidential palace remained
standing.
Managua was built on a fat site,
planned as an attractive city for
visitors to the nations capital. The
richest and most fashionable citi-
zens of the republic lived there.
