Williams, Nebraska Hoods Threaten in Ohio Valley LOUISVILLE, Apr. 17 (ID-Heavy rains and flood waters from mountain tributaries poured into the Ohio valley today and threatened lowland homes in West Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio and Indiana.

The Ohio river was rising steadily from West Virginia to southern Indiana. It was expected to rise today to 44 feet, four feet above flood stage, at Point Pleasant, W. Va and to 52 feet, one foot above flood stage, at Ashland, Ky. National Red Cross headquarters at Washington predicted that 3,000 persons would be homeless in the valley by tomorrow if rainy weather continues. Government meteorologists expected rain in the whole valley today and prcbably tomorrow.

Three persons drowned. A woman fell into flood waters from Salem Fork as they swept through the business area of Salem, W. yesterday. A boy drowned at Seymour, when he fell into flood waters of the White river while he was riding his bicycle on a state Tiighway. Another youth drowned Saturday when his automobile was washed off a bridge by the swollen Youngs creek at Franklin, Ind.

Red Cross officials said some persons had already been forced from their homes in sections of West Virginia and Ohio but they were unable to estimate the number. They said 10 workers had been sent to the area. The river was nearing 23 feet at Louisville. It was rising four-tenths of a foot per hour, a rate faster than that preceding the disastrous flood of 1937. Weather bureau officials predicted a minimum stage of 30 feet by Friday.

HUCHJI Union Pacific "Family" Holds Colorful Frolic Here One of the most colorful parties in Columbus in months was held Saturday night when nearly 400 members of Union Pacific's Old-Timers' club No. 3 and members of their families gathered for their "May" frolic at the city auditorium. Nearly half of those in attendance wore either raiment or facial adornments reminiscent of the days of 1869 ladies in gaily colered bustles and bonnets, men in various croppings of whiskers, striped suits, beavers and canes all to remind each other of the approaching Golden Spike days which gets under way Apr. 26 in Omaha for a four-day run. Old-Timers club No.

3 has its headquarters in Omaha, with membership among Union Pacific employes located all the way from Council Bluffs to Central City on the main line, as well as branches originating at stations between the two points. Once a year, the Old-Timers are in the habit of congregating for a festive time in Columbus along about May. Saturday night was the 1939 date. Special Train Because of the special significance this year, Old-Timers from Omaha and nearby stations 152 strong made the trip to Columbus by special train early Saturday evening, and spent a half hour parading the streets in their costumes of 70 years ago before they, assembled for the annual banquet at the Federated church. So heavy was the run of ban queters that all could not.be accommodated at the church.

General Chairman P. E. Sickles said that ar rangements had been made to feed 304 persons, which number was stretched to 327. But there were some, nevertheless, that could not be accommodated, because food had not been prepared for them. Auditorium Program Because of the crowd, no attempt at a banquet program, other than community singing with Attorney Otto F.

Walter leading and Ray Paul at the piano, was made at the church. Folks did not mind the quarter- inch rain that fell during the time the banqueters were journeying from the church to the auditorium. The sorely-needed rain was just an other reason to celebrate the more. Entertainers from Columbus and FOR A division superintendent; H. E.

Wife Loses Three Rounds in Marital Litigation Here Three of the four court actions that had resulted from the marital difficulties of Orville C.

Goecker, young traveling salesman, and his wife, Dorothy Madge, were decided in courts here today and in all three of them she was the loser. First decision this forenoon was by County Judge Speice who ruled that Mr. Goecker 'Was not guilty of the charge which she had filed against him, accusing him of wilfully refusing to support her. The judge took the position that in as much as the divorce action which she instituted in court in Council Bluffs last December was still pending on appeal to the Iowa supreme court, the question of whether or not she was entitled to support-money should be determined in the civil litigation and that a criminal complaint of that nature could not be maintained against Goecker here. In the county court hearing Saturday it had developed that Goecker had complied with the only temporary alimony order that he pay her $50 issued by the judge in Council Bluffs shortly after the divorce suit was filed there.

Second decision today was by Judge Lightner in district court, holding that Mrs. Goecker can not maintain the suit for divorce from bed and board which she filed against her husband in district court here last week. He pointed out that she had not resided in Nebraska long enough to establish residence for purpose of divorce proceedings. He pointed out also that, whether or not she had been induced by her husband to do so (a mooted question), the fact remained that she had submitted herself to the jurisdiction of the Iowa courts by filing a divorce suit there; that the case there was still pending on appeal, and that' under the circumstances the court here has no jurisdiction. The issue had been submitted to Judge Lightner Saturday on Goeck-er's special appearance challenging jurisdiction of the court.

Mrs. Goeck-er's counsel, Wagner, Wagner Albert, had maintained that in as much as the court in Council Bluffs had refused to grant either party a divorce and she had returned to Columbus she could maintain a separate maintenance action here, while Mr. Goecker's counsel, Lowell Walk er, had contended that the issues in the Council Bluffs case were still undetermined as Mr. Goecker had appealed to the Iowa supreme court, and she was not in jurisdiction of the court. Third decision adverse to her was entered later in the day by Judge Ratterman in justice court in the ouster proceedings that had been instituted by Paul Rodak, owner of the house on Seventh street which the Goeckers had rented when they moved here from Council Bluffs last October.

Mrs. Goecker had returned here Mar. 27 and occupied the house again, and Mr. Goecker, who had not been residing there of late, had served notice that he would not pay the rent after Apr. 1.

Neither Mr, nor Mrs. Goecker contested the oust er action, except that she had obtained a nine-day continuance which expired today. As counsel for Mr. Rodak, J. L.

Dougherty took a de fault decree this afternoon, but with Mr. Rodak's assurance to Mrs. Goecker that she could remain in the house a few days longer, if he did not have opportunity to rent it in the meantime.
