In Kansas, where flood waters

At the state capital of Topeka,
volunteers still fought to save the
city water plant. Mayor Kenneth
Wilke estimated at least $100,000,-

the city by flood waters.
Water still covered about 400
biocks.
Evacuees began returning to
their homes at Ottawa, Kas., one
of the badly flooded towns. Water
also was receding in the flooded
areas of Manhattan, Osawatomie,

Wavering in that strange twi

consciousness, instinet struggled
with physical weakness. I was
aware of the fire, I could feel its
heat, but my muscles refused to
recognize the need. The best I
could do was drag myself, inch
by weak inch, from the crackling
flames, while Carl, the death trap
neatly sprung, sped away.
Frank had spoken of the police,
the FBI. My numbed mind didn’t
grasp it. j
Somehow, I got to hands and
knees, staggered crazily to my
feet. The flames were higher be

¥ DOG 6 TALES
é& * Statue of a Hero
NBy TOM FARLEY ~rrnen
FROM earliest times statues have
been erected to humans in
memory of their accomplishments
and deeds of valor. A dog won this
honor, too, because of an astound
ing feat during the cold, bleak win
ter of 1925. .
In December, 1324, a mild epl
demic of diptheria broke out in
Nome, Alaska, It was nearly under
control when doctors discovered
that the disease-curbing agent, anti
toxin, was fast running out. And,
almost simultaneously, the disease
began to run wild again. The whole
of Nome was threatened and the
populace became panic-stricken.
Messages were sent down to the
States for the critically needed
antitoxin. It was obtained in neces
sary amounts with some difficulty.
But, after it arrived in Nenana,
there was another barrier. How to
get it to Nome, 600 miles westward?
Twenty-five years ago, mno air
plane could make the hazardous
flight from Nenana to Nome. There
was only one way to go and that
was by dogsled. :
. A man in Nenana, named Gunnar
Kasson, owned the only team—
nine powerful dogs led by a mass
ive, coal-black Siberian Malemute—
that had a chance of getting
through, Would Kasson undertake
the hazardous, 600-mile trip to
:\lome? There was no question about

Apparently Kasson knew his ani-

i Above me was one of those soft,
muted greens that hospitals go in
for these days. The room was
small and decidedly antiseptic.
“Are we awake?”
The voice was soft, yet firm
with nurse-like assurance.
‘ “What day is it?”
“Thursday.” When I turned my
| head to look at her, the nurse
|smiled. “You have been with us
I two days, Miss Tobias.”
Two days.
“Did they catch Carl?”
“Doctor says you're not to talk,”
she hedged neatly.
“They didn't!”
“Now, Miss Tobias—"
{ I toucbed fingers to my face.
“Don’t “Now Miss Tobias’ me! He
gave me this, he left me to die—"
“There, there, I know.” She
looked so exasperatingly efficiént.
She’d never get herself in such a
{ mess! ‘Let’s not get ourself upset.”
I closed my eyes with an “all
right let’s not” resignation, and

mals—particularly = his ™ lead-dog,
Balto—for under Balto's leadership
the trip was made across the Alas
kan wastes in the blizzardy Febru
ary of 1925, and the antitoxin
reached Nome in time to save the
city. .
- On December 15, 1925, in the
southeast section of Central Park
in New York City, a bronze statue
to Balto was unveiled. Balto, with
his master, was there, and the great
dog seemed to sense what the event
was all about. The inseription on
the copper plate at the base of the
statue read:
“Dedicated to the indomitable
spirit of the Sled Dogs that relayed
antitoxin 600 miles over rough ice,
across treachesnus waters, through
Arctic blizzards, from Nenana to
the relief of Nome in the winter of
1925.” Beneath this tribute are the
words Eudurance, Fidelity, Intelli
gence. The statue was designed by
F. G. R. Roth.
s The statue still stands in its origi
nal place, a permanent tribute to a
dog which proved spectacularly to
be truly man's best friend.

Court Sessions
Continue Here
Clarke Superior Court this
morning heard the case of the
State vs. Norman Bray who has
been indicted for assault with in
tent to murder. The court was
recessed for the morning before
the jury reached a verdict. 2,
Bray pleaded net guilty to the
offense on the grounds that his
actions against Jimmy Ginn, who
was badly cut, were in self-de
fense. .
The injured man, who accused
Bray of attacking him without
provocation, was treated at a lo
cal hospital and was given 100
stitches in his throat according to
Sheriff Huff. g
* In answer to the injured man's
claim that Bray attacked him
without provocation the attorney
for the defense maintained that
Ginn was advancing on Bray while
swearing at him and with his
hands in his pockets. The de
fense termed Gunn’s movements
movements enough to make Bray
fear for his safety.
The injury of Ginn took place
at the Square Deal eating place
on Washington street on April 15
of this year.
In charging the jury Judge Hen
ry West, presiding over the court,
stated that the maximum sentence
if Bray is convicted, would be ten
years and the minimum would be
two years.
An erroneous report concerning
T. C. Christian, who was found
guilty of transporting liquor, was
cleared up today by court offi
cials. Mr. Christian is still in jail
since he has not paid his fine. He
was given the choice of either pay
ing a S4OO fine or serving 12
months in jail.
Retrial of the state’s case against
Mrs. Kathleen Merry Drewry is
not expected this week because
records in the first trial have not
éet been sent to Clarke Superior
ourt.
Mrs. Drewry, 45 year old for
mer wife of Dean John E. Drewry
of the University of Georgia
School of Journalism, was granted
a new trial on a charge of assault
with intent to murder Miss Miriam
Thurmond, now the second Mrs.
Drewry,
Judge West said he could not re
set the case until the records ar
rive. Under Supreme court rules
ten days are allowed for transmit
ting the record and July 21 is the
earliest date the Drewry case can
reach Clarke Superior Court
again.
The present week is the last of
the current term of Clarke Su
perior court and the next term is
in October. Judge West said a
special term could be set up for
the trial between now and October
but he did not know whether that
would be done.
