D., Sept. 11—(#) —A cloudburst that swelled tiny creeks into raging streams, took eight lives and caused heavy damage on the Crow Creek Indian reservation. Members of two Indian families, trapped by the onrushing waters as they slept Sunday, were drowned. Fif- teen other persons were marooned in Precarious places of safety for some time before they were rescued. A downpour of rain that measured 10 inches sent a 12-foot wall of water raging down Soldier's Creek. It crush- ed the Fred Loudner home, and Loudner, aged 41; his wife, 37; their four children, ranging in age from 3 to 17 years, and Mr. and Mrs. Sol La- Plantes, of Rosebud, were swept away in the wreckage. The La Plantes ‘were guests of the Loudners. Indians from the reservation Mon- day searched the lowlands as the waters receded for the bodies of La- Plante, Loudner and the youngest Loudner child. Theye were believed to have been carried into the Mis- souri river. The bodies of the other victims were recovered. Several other creeks also were swol- Jen by the heavy rains, art the Mis- souri river at Chamberlain, 20 miles Two boys, unidentified, were report- ed to have been in a car which skidded from a highway into the Platte river.

Nye took a definite stand against the state sales tax in a speech Sunday afternoon at Sykeston. He did it from a platform upon which sat Governor Wil- liam Langer, chief sales tax advocate and the man who will spend the vast amount of money it will raise if approved by the people on Sept. 22. ‘ Nye’s attack on the sales tax was not a casual affair. It was deliberate and intense. Apparently effective, too, for the governor got a somewhat cool reception from the crowd when he followed with a plea for the sales tax at the same time admitting its unpopularity. At the close of the speech-making, a matter of nearly four hours, the crowd gathered around Nye to shake his hand: Langer was in the receiving line, grasping their hands as hy it by. .
