It was apparent that the woman had been “taken for a ride,” which is the usual method employ- ed in getting an intended victim to a desolate spot where he may be Xilled. The bullet wound also in- dicated gangster methods. Setting fire to the clothing, however, Was without precedent in modern gang killing. It was the first time, too, that a woman had been picked for assas- sination by the ‘taken for a ride method.

Relief Agencies Busy Already relief agencies are at work through the flood district. The Red| Cross has sent many workers into . the two states to care for families who were forced to evacuate their lowland homes by the sudden high waters, The Florida flood threat, arcord-), ing to advices here, apparently has passed. Lake Okeechobee, which had been rising steadily, is almost at a standstill and predictions were that the lake would start lowering im- mediately. ; One dam in Georgia already has burst from the pressure of the high waters while it was reported that the Lake Lure dam in North Carolina was weakening rapidly. Should this dam give way many houses would be in the direct path, Washington, Aug. 17 CP—Summer | floods in the Carolinas and Virginia, caused by an exceptionally heavy rainfall during the past 10 days, were_causing less concern today as the swollen streams gave signs of slowly receding within their banks. Two lives were lost in Virginia and considerable property damage was done in that state and in the Carolinas. A dispatch from Winnshoro, 8. C., said that several hundred persons were marooned on the first and sec- ond sections of Southern Railway train No. 10 north of Columbia. §. | C., during the night because the train could not negotiate the high | water of the Broad rivar. The passengers were removed by uto this morning for transporta tion to Columbia. The dispatch said that the water rose to the car steps at places and that at one place sev- as a |trestle over the flood waters sagged under the weight of the train. In Virginia, where flood conditions claimed two lives, the swollen |streams were slowly returning to | their banks after damaging crops, | ighways and railways. i Jess Dove, 33, of Harrisonburg.

FARM CONDEMNED BY COURT ORDF! Prospect Farmer Will Have to Change Plans Hartford, Aug. 17 (P—An appli- cation of the Naugatuck Water Co tor an order of condemnation of the farm of Carmelli Fontana in the town of Prospect was granted today by Judge Edward M. Yeomans of the superior court after a hearing at the county building. Pigs will die if they can't wallow in water in the summer time is the conclusion of Fontana, who uses the farm up in Prospect for pig raising, and it happens that the stream his pigs wallow in runs into the Prospect storage reservoir of the water company Wwithin so short a distance of the piggery that the water will not clear itself of pollu- tion. General Manager George C Ham of the water company said use of the reservoir has been suspended this summer because of fear of pol- | for animal raising without 3reat care as four springs on it are source Iol’ the stream that fows into lhriconclusiml of the hearing that the ed to be no feasible plan for divert. ing the stream somewhere else, al though the amount of water it sup. plien to the reservoir is negligible.
