Flooding Drives Texas Families From Wichita River Areas
Swollen Wichita River and its tributaries flood north Texas towns forcing evacuation of over 100 families in Wichita Falls as Holliday Creek backs up into homes. Far upriver, 150 families near Paducah are isolated by rising waters after heavy rains. Debris-laden floodwaters wash out highways and threaten railroad bridges, with widespread farmland inundation across Knox and Cottle counties and waterbound communities including Hackberry Chalk Sneedville Grow and Dumont. Authorities fear more storms as a multi state rain pattern continues.

Mickey Cohen Free Sunday After Family Pays Fine
Los Angeles reports that gambler Mickey Cohen will be freed next Sunday from McNeil Island penitentiary after his $10,000 fine was paid by his family. Cohen was sentenced in 1951 to five years and fined for evading $156,123 in taxes from 1946 to 1948. He has 480 days of good behavior credit, and without the payment would face further time or a pauper’s oath. Jack Duitz, Cohen’s brother in law, delivered cashier’s checks amounting to $10,000 at the federal court clerk’s office, stating the funds came from a family pool. Lavonne Cohen, his wife, awaits his return.
