Curiosity of
Passengers
Drowned 19
Buenos Aires, Feb. 5.-—Belated
news from Posadas, on the upper
Parana river,, said Tuesday the
curiosity of passengers aboard a
heavily laden river steamship
caused it to capsize, resulting in
the deaths of nineteen persons.
The shipwreck occurred Sunday
when the small steamer Vargas-
Gomez overturned off Picardia Is-
land, thirty miles down the river
from Posadas.
WOrd rezeived from police saici
the accident happened after a
barrel of wine fell into the water.
Passengers rushed to that side and
the steamer capsized.
Another steamer, the Gabriel d’
Annunzia, rescued nineteen surviv-
ors. Ignacio Palacios, captain of
the Vargas-Gomez was arrested on
his arrival at Posadas on the
off a bridge five miles east of
Waxahachie on the Ennis highway
Saturday night.
Commissioner Berley Wiles
of the Italy precinct, reports
that the construction of the
Italy-Avalon-Ennis highway
depends upon the co-operation
of the landowners whose farms
are traversed by the proposed
route. A letter from A. C. Love
engineer, this week, warned:
the local officials that the proj
ect cannot be included in the
list for federal aid unless the
right-of-way is deeded imme-
diately.
All except three or four of
the landowners have already
signed the right-of-way papers.
As a U. S. Works Program
Highway project, the road will
be constructed with the $40,-
0011 federal grant, with no
extra- expense to the county.
Since the road is to be financ-
ed without a bond issue, the
landowners along the route
have been asked to donate the
right-of-way. Most of these
have been glad to aid the
project in this way, realizing
the value of such a highway
to the community. A total of
ten acres was given by one
man. Unless the other land
owners co-operate in the same
way the project will fail, the
$40,000 grant will be lost, and
in all probability it will be
many years before the road
can be built, it was announc-
ed.
Only a few days remain in
which to secure the right-of-
way. The highway would be of
much benefit to this section of
the county, and in addition
would provide work for a num-
ber of men.
A small glass in the front door
of the Modern Beauty Shoppe on
North Dallas street was broken out
pometime Sunday night. The
glass was broken hear the lock
on the door, so it was presumed
it was broken to operate a night
latch.
Nothing in the shop was molest-
ed.
