Searching parties both on the ground and in the air have failed to locate it, although they think thay have a clue to work on today to-day (Thursday), and hope that It will lead to the plane. f' The plane was last heard from near Delta early Monday morning during the rain storm. It reported that everything was okeh and that it was traveling high and fast. From then on the plane has jmi been seen or heard. People report that the plane was heard near the town of Alpine, Al-pine, back on the mountain near Le-hi. Le-hi. The ground dispatcher had routed rout-ed the plane over Utah Lake during the storm and it is thought that it went into the hills either there or near Draper. Delta people were called into the search and Owen Bunker spent most of the day of Tuesday on the road to Eureka trying to find a trace of it ther, but without success. Delta people who heard the plane were called on the phone and asked to give all the information they could. The army ordered a group of planes plan-es out from Salt Lake to help with the search, and the Western Air Express, Ex-press, who operated the plane, pressed press-ed al! the available planes they had into service on the hunt. The plane carried four passengers, a pilot, a co-pilot, and a stewardess. This is the first major disaster of this particular line, and. the second plane lost since Graham went into the Cedar mountains some. .years ago.

TRUCK ROLLS OVER TWICE CRUSHING DRIVER'S HEAD Death rode the highway Wednesday Wednes-day night when a group of six C C C boys were returning to camp with a load of groceries. The truck, lightly loadod, and traveling at about forty miles an hour, hit a patch of sand on one of the curves near Soap Hollow and rolled over twice. The driver, Melvin Cook, was instantly killed; Brown Farmer received a ' broken wrist and collar bone, and I. V. Wesley Wes-ley was badly shaken up. The other three boys were uninjured. It is not known whether the driver driv-er attempted to open the door or whether it opened of itself, but the door opened, and when the truck rolled over, the door caught the unfortunate un-fortunate man's head between it and the cab, and crushed his skull. After the accident the uninjured boys were unable to get the truck off the dead man, and had to go to a sheep camp that was close by for help. They returned with the men from hte camp and with their aid got the truck up and the dead and injured into town. The accident was very regretable, as there was no particular cause for the wreck. The curve was not a sharp one, and with the other boys receiving such light Injuries, it is too bad that one had td be killed. The boys report that they were singing and laughing at the time of the acidsnt, and not traveling at what they considered a fast speed. They had recently been in town at the Little Gem, having a sandwich, and about an hour later they returned; return-ed; when asked where their friend Cook was, they stated that they had just 1'irought his body to town, as he had been;.-killed. Cook was popular with the townspeople who knew him. C C C BOY SENTENCED TO THIRTY DAYS Alex Wuchich was found guilty of a battery charge against Margaret Judd and sentenced to thirty days in the Fillmore jail. This was the affair af-fair that brought about the fighting in Delta on Saturday, Dec. 5. After the battery, the town boys took , up the cause and there were several fights, ending in a knifing. The knifing affray has not been settled, although there was a hear ing held on it Wednesday. LEAVES FOR SEATTLE Mr. and Mrs. Geo. ;3.

Explains Lightning Why certain trees are more apt to be struck by lightning is explained by Dr. W. J. Humphreys in the Kansas Kan-sas City Star. "In general, the trees most likely to be struck are those that have either an extensive root system like the locust, or deep tap-roots like the pine, and this for the very obvious reason that they are the best grounded and therefore, on the whole, offer the least electrical electri-cal resistance." Sights in Naples Sights to be seen in Naples, Italy, include the Cathedral, built in 1272; the National Museum, containing a priceless collection of antiquities; the San Carlo Opera House, one of the largest in Europe; the most complete marine aquarium in the world ; and the University of Naples, founded in 1224.
