Bert Remcountre, a laborer at Plerre, 8. D.,, watched the Missouri River burst its banks and sweep away his house and all his belongings. He was one of the thousands of residents left with nothing when Plerre became a sunken city. By BERT REMCOUNTRE oo As Told to United Press PIERRE, §. D., Apr. 11—-The water first started to come Monday. We didn’t believe it would be $0 high. They all told us it wouldn't’ go so high. We just didn't believe it,

We went to bed Monday night and then something woke us up. It sounded just like the wind but it wasn't the wind, it was the water.

We knew it was coming up fast and we started to get the stuff out. My wife and I and two boys took the bedding and cooking utensils and some clothes out of the house and piled them up on-a bank. When wé came back to get another load, the water was so high we couldn't get back in. By that time it had come up so fast that it even took away the stuff we stacked on the bank,

We weren't so scared. But we just couldn't believe it could come up so fast, Monday and Tuesday night we stayed with a neighbor. Then we had to move again and we got separated from him, Wednesday night we slept in the depot. Our whole house went down the rivers... .» a All we got are the clothes on our backs and my job, With my job at least we'll be able to eat when the water goes down.

2 Candidacies Voided From Election Ballot

Two of four challenged candidacies for delegates to the state GOP convention were declared illegal and eliminated from the primary election -ballot by the Marion County Election Board

last night. The board eliminated the name of Eldon L. Alig, 6070 N. Oxford St, from the delegate ballot because his signature was typewritten. The name of Archie A. Kuoppala, 3033 E, 51st St. was eliminated because he filed his candidacy in the wrong ward. The board ruled, by a three-to-one decision, the candidacies of {Dr. Golden P. Bilver, county commissioner, and Richard Smith, attorney, as GOP convention delegates were legal.

Candidacies Challenged

The Silver and Smith candidacies had been challenged by |County Clerk H. Dale Brown on ithe ground they had printed their names on declarations rather than using regular written signa[tures. Board members Edwin MeRepublican, and Mark
