Another one who nearly gave his life at the time of the Hepp ner Flood was Douglas iniruane. He was city marshall at the time and rode his horse in water up to its body to ring the fire bell, which was then back of what is now Humphrey's Drug store. He tried to cross the creek to find his wife and among many others hunted all night. It was a sight never to be forgotten watching the lanterns up and down the creek during any time one might look. His wife's body was not found for several days. His brother-in-law, L. - W. Briggs, gave all his time to direct ing the laying out of plots and cplling them at the graveyard. He also had charge of the city ceme tery and his service was freely given to help all in distress and need. A nurse, who came to Hepp ner at that time, says she well remembers the kindly little sex ton who was so sympatnetic ana did all he could to help others, although he too suffered loss.
