The gush of water came from the top of the mountains west of tow, and unexpectedly. The main volume came down Hog Snoot canyon, carrying huge boulders and debris in its wake. The state canal, over which the big volume of water passed, was filled for nearly a quarter of a mile, and crews were out Tuesday cleaning up to prevent any stop in the flow of the water through its regular channel. The waters went directly through Aurora, and at one time it was estimated that the water going over the main highway was fully a foot and a half deep. Until the main flow of water had receded, citizens of Aurora were powerless to do much in the way of protecting their own property. That the cloudburst originated high in the mountains was evidenced by the fact that every gully and canyon from Denmark Wash to Vermillion was carrying heavy streams. The mine pit at the Western Clay & Metals company was the scene of considerable damage. The pit was filled with water, and the streams coming down other smaller canyons washed great gullies in the main highway leading from the mine to the mill. General Superintendent Herbert Greenleaf, for the clay company, stated that the roads had been repaired and that a pumping crew had cleared the pit 'of water by Wednesday evening.. Flower gardens, lawns and vegetable gardens were literally covered with rocks and silt, and many of them will be ruined. Aurora suffered a similar flood on August 3, 1930, which resulted in damage to homes and gardens. The Saturday flood, citizens stated, was larger and did more damage than the flood of 1930. ' EXTRA SPECIAL! The Salina Salts, having a re- everyputation of swatting thing in the baseball line that shows up, excepting one defeat by the Super Neons of Salt Lake, are to dig deep into the art with heavier stuff next Sunday afternoon on the local diamond. This y engagement will be with the hailed as Beverage outfit, one of the strong teams at the capital city. The visitors have made a wisecrack that they will come to Salina to teach the local players some of the fine arts. It may be so, but every fan in Southern Utah will have to be shown. Itll be a whale of a game so book your dates for this one big event, starting promptly at 4 oclock p. m. Sunday. Pin-ne- Manager Peterson of the Super Neons of Salt Lake, when he brought his boys to Salina Tuesday for a second bout with the Salts, did not realize that he had forgotten something a good pitching staff, or even a bunch of pitchers that could hold the Salt hitters down. In the game with the local boys Tuesday, four pitchers were shot from the box, all of whom failed to excite the Salts. Dokos started, for the visitors and, failing to stop the hitting frolic put on by the Salts, Lane was substituted. Lane went wild, pitched 11 balls, walked three men and then retired. Poulton, the star pitcher for the Neons, took the plate, and while at work showed merit. In as much as he had pitched a game at Salt Lake the previous evening, he gave up, and Dokos again went in. At the close of the 9th inning, the Salts showed a total of 10 runs, while the Nons couned by 7. The Salts gathered 12 hits off the Neon group of Jiurlers. Dallas Bird, moundsman for the Salts, was in correct form. He only allowed the Neons to connect 7 times for safeties, and he struck out six. The field players were backing Bird in genuine league style. When the visitors went to bat in the first inning, Givon soaked a homer. But this performance was outclassed by a flock of Birds that later got to work. In the 3rd inning Lynn Bird poked the ball for a home circuit. Eddie Jensen, following, went dead at second base. Lee Bird, third man to bat inthe 3rd inning, connected and went the circuit for a homer. The next Bird to fly around the bases was Elmo Bird, first sacker for the Salts. Elmo got his in the 5th inning, with a runner on. The Super Neons played a holiday game here only recently, and won by a score of 7 to 6.

Morris Curtis, son of Mrs. Grace Curtis of this city, met a tragic death some time Thursday afternoon of last week when he supposedly fell, or was thrown, from the horse he was riding into the raging waters of Loss Creek. The body wasj found at about 8:45 Friday morning lodged on a sandbar in the Sevier more than a quarter of a mile! upstream from where Loss Creek empties into the river. The body was located by Mayor Jas. I. Rex and John Nielson, who were on the east sidq of the river searching for the body. A group of men on the west side were notified and the body was immediately rescued. An examination of the body after it had been recovered disclosed the fact that the neck of the boy had been broken. A cut on the face and a bad bruise on the left shoulder were also found. There was no water on the lungs of the boy and it is believed that he met instant death. The body was carried some ri-vi- er Redmond Pioneer Answers Last Call Final tribute was paid Monday to Mrs. Hannah Jensen, widow of Anton Jensen, and one of the early pioneers, who died last Friday after a lingering illness of about a year. Mrs. Jensen was born in Denmark, December 13, 1867. She, with mem-- , bers of her family, emigrated to Utah and setlled in Ephraim in the fall of 1876. Since then and until 1888 the family did considerable moving to different towns, among them being Redmond, Glenwood, Grass Valley and Koosharem. In May, 1888, she married Anton Jensen, and they .then made their home in Redmond, where she had since resided. Mrs. Jensen was a faithful member of the L. D. S. church and served for many years as a worker in the Relief society. She was a community nurse and was always willing to help in time of need and distress. Mrs. Jensen was the mother of tjyelve children, seven of whom survive: Mrs. Rude Casto, Salina; Mrs. Carl Anderson, Los Angeles, Calif.; Mrs. Wm. Miller, Bingham; Glen Jensen, Salt Lake; Hans, Orlando and Charles Jensen, Redmond; 24 grandchildren and 4 a brother and sister, Thomas Jensen and Mrs. E. P. Peetrson, Redmond. Appropriate funeral services were held Monday at 2 p. m. in the ward chapel, Bishop Orrin F. Peterson officiating. The musical numbers were by the ward choir. A. C. Willardson of Salina gave a violin solo. Speakers were Chas. C. Jensen, Ernell Christensen and Bisohp Peterson. Prayers were offered by Elders Martin Jensen and Alonzo Christensen.

With the dangers of typhoid fever lurking, due to contaminated waters, outthe coming of the flies, houses and other disease breeding places, the state board of health is urging every citizen in Utah to be on the safety line to prevent any possible outbreak of typhoid or any other contagious or infectious di-- i y seases, and is asking that people their health by being inoculated with a preventative.

The exact cause of the1 mishap which claimed the life of the young man will perhaps never be known. Morris had been with a brother attending a herd of goats at Kings Meadow. About noon Thursday he left the camp, saying he was going to Salina. Soon after he left the camp, heavy clouds hung over the mountains and along the route of his 'travel. A heavy cloudburst broke in the mountain tops and soon Loss Creek was a raging torrent. Whether he attempted to ford the surging stream, or whether he was thrown from his horse and carried in the water to hi3 death, will, perhaps, never be known. The horse Morris was riding arrived at the home of a rancher in Tipperary late Thursday night. Becoming suspicious, due to the fact that the boy. was not with the horse, the animal was brought to Salina, and the news that the boy was missing was spread. At daylight Friday morning the warning was sounded and a hundred men or more made a quick response and soon the search for the missing boy was on. Groups of men searched every spot below the point where the creek empties into the river without results, and it was only when Mayor Rex and Mr. Nielson made a search up the river that the body was located. The shock to the mother, brothers and sisters, was not only severe, but the entire community was grieved at the tragic accident. Morris was born in Salina, June 10, 1917, and had spent most of his life here. He was a student in the Salina schools and was foremost in many of the activities. Besides his mother, he is survived by five brothers and sisters: Mrs. Deon Peterson, Gunnison; Mrs. Lena Mariam, Manti; Mrs. h and Darrel Sorenson, LeRoy Curtis of Salina. Funeral and burial services were conducted early Sunday afternoon, with Eishop Albert Albertsen of the (Continued on last page!

However, the dread malady developed and the little girl was called to her' Maker. Ula May was born in Aurora, January 6, 1923, and had lived there all h r life. While only a few years in school, she was developing herself from an educational standpoint, and was admired and loved by her schoolmates. She is survived by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Orvill Andrews, three brothers, Nelden, DeLos and Vemess, and a baby sister, Laverda. Grandparents on both sides of the family are also survivors. Aurora had plan ned a celebration, honoring the coming of the pioneers to Utah, but with the announcement of the death of Ula May, the celebration was called off. Funeral services for the unfortunate girl were held Wednesday afternoon from the Aurora ward chapel, with Bishop Leland Lazenby in charge. Loving tributes, to the young girl who had been called, and consoling words to the bereaved family were spoken by Moroni Lazenby and Levi Sorenson. An appropriate musical program was rendered by the Aurora ward choir. A group of girl friends were flower bearers. Interment was held at the Aurora ceme-tery. ' ' , |
