GANG ESCAPES WITH SECOND
BANK ROLL FROM HIS HOME
TOWN
BEGGS, Okla, May 25. (^)—Playing
a return engagement to his home
town, Mathew Ivimes, youthful des
perado and phantom bandit leader, fol
lowing in the footsteps of Jesse James
and A1 Jennings, led his band of nine
men into town yesterday and robbed
!
two banks of SIS,000 in cash, killed
the town marshal and wounded a wo
man that frustrated the third bank
robbery so badly that she will prob
ably die. The band then escaped and
left no trail into the hills. Kimes was
the leader of the band which recently
invaded the town and raided one bank
of 820,000.
A swell movie is on tonight.

FLOOD ADVANCES HUNDRED AND
SEVEN MILES IN TWENTY
FOUR HOURS
NEW ORLEANS, May 25. (/P)—More
than 100,000 persons living on 2,000,000
| acres of unflooded Louisiana lands
I await the outcome of the fight which
threatens to be a losing one to hold
the dikes protecting the Achafalaya
basin, which are crumbling all along
the line, and the residents are fearful
lest the levee give way. The flood
has advanced 107 miles during the
last 24 hours.
TRUCKS SENT TO AID
BEAUMONT, Texas, May 25. (/P)—
This city is sending a special 20-car
train loaded with 40 trucks and busses,
to Lafayette, La., to rescue 6,000 per
sons about to be trapped within their
homes near Breaux bridge and St.
Martinsville, La., as a result of new
breaks in the Atchafalaya levees. The
call for immediate help came from W.
J. Lacoste, superintendent of trans
portation for the Red Cross at La
fayette. He said in his appeal to
Mayor) J. A. Barnes of this city that it
was imperative that these persons be
rescued within 24 hours.
2.000 FIGHT NEW BREAKS
NEW ORLEANS, May 25. (/P)—
With flood waters seeping into the
parish of Iberville, there is danger
that the tragedy of the “Sugar Bowl”
district will be re-enacte 1 in the East
ern provinces, heretofore comparative
ly free from inundation. Two thou
sand men are fighting to hold the east
ern dikes to protect additional rich
sugar and cotton lands.
10,000 PERSONS EVACUATED
NEW ORLEANS, May 25. (JP)—
With the crest of the flood 30 feet
deep in places hurtling southward
into the parish of St. Martins, State
ttoops answered the mandates of Sec
retary Hoover compelling 10,000 Aca
dian farmers to take to safety before
the death-dealiing waters sweep over
them, as it is only a question of hours
before the whole parish is under
water. The torrent is 30 miles wide
and the French farmers who clung too
long to their homes have been com
pelled to sacrifice them to save their
lives, and hundreds of people are still
marooned near the town of Melville
and their predicament is precarious.
METEOR Hit FROM
The glories of the heavens granted
to the inhabitants of Seward a rare
treat last evening by hurling a beau
;ifuLly colored meteorite over Resur
rection Bay.
The white hot ball appeared about
iO o’clock. As it approached the
own over the bay in a horizontal
plane, it turned to a dark color and
mddenlv burst or exploded into a
ovely barium green nebulous. The
ncandescent bodies burned brilliant
y for a moment like a Fourth of
ruly fireworks spectacle illuminating
he bay and surrounding eastern
nountains with a soft oriental glow
f an emerald hue.
The meteorite seemed to be head
'1 for Valdez w^here three months
\e reached the ground but as
..as not been unearthed.
