Landslide threatens Thurmond homes and store

A crawl of mud and rock from a hillside slid into Thurmond, uprooting four oaks and blocking the yard of Mr. and Mrs. B. J. Clark and endangering Mrs. Bruce Martin’s residence. About 50 volunteers toiled through the night to divert the flow and save the properties as the slide began near 6 AM and surged by 5:30 PM amid blamed weather and mining activity above town.
