CEECHOBEE, Fla. — Mil-
of gallons of water that had
gd through an earthen dike re-
sd gradually Thursday, but
5 was no telling how soon area
jlents would be able to live on
land again.
ifficials said they could not
ersltand why the Florida Power
Ught Co. dike gave way early
Wednesday. It had been inspected
Tuesday and was reported sound.
A 300-foot section of the dike at
Indiantown burst without warning
about 1 a.m., releasing enough
water to cover 80,000 acres around
the northeast shore of Lake
Okeechobee with 1 foot of water.
The swirling water drove hun
dreds of people from their beds,
sent cattle stampeding for high
ground and derailed a Florida East
Coast Railway freight train.
Up to 7 feet of water covered
parts of the 60 square miles of scat
tered farms, fishing camps and
trailer parks from Port Mayaca
northward for about 20 miles.
Dozens of people were rescued
from rooftops and cars by boats and
helicopters, but officials reported
neither serious injuries or fatalities.
At least 700 people were forced to
evacuate in Okeechobee and Martin
counties, said Clyde E. Kauffman,
Okeechobee County Civil Defense
director.
He gave a preliminary damage es
timate of $4.35 million. The figure
included 255 trailers, 62 homes,
nine commercial buildings, a motel,
30 boathouses and a 13-mile stretch
of U.S. 441 that had been flooded.
Charles Scheer, an FPL spokes
man, said the water had begun to
recede slowly by Wednesday night,
but he made no estimates on how
long it would take for the water to
disappear.
“There wasn’t any reason that we
could expect this to happen,” said
an FPL spokesman.

CHEYENNE, Wyo. — Gov. Ed Herschler said Wednesday he
uld consider pardoning a notorious western range detective if the
personally requests it.
[rouble is, Tom Horn was hanged in 1903.
le whole thing began when Warner Brothers started making a
lOvie about the life of Horn, who was convicted of fatally shooting a
ear-old boy in Platte County. The studio’s publicity people
light it would be a nice gesture if Herschler would grant Horn a
humous pardon at about the time the film is released,
loe Zuver of the state Archives and Historical Department con
ed Wednesday that her agency had conveyed a request for
i s pardon to the governor, on behalf of Warner Brothers and
■ Corp., a company owned by Steve McQueen. McQueen stars
e movie, which is not yet finished.
On Wednesday, Herschler’s droll reaction to the request was:
iWhen Tom Horn personally requests a pardon I will give some
nsideration to it. ”
iState Travel Commission Director Randy Wagner said the first he
leard about a pardon request was right after Warner Brothers
inished a rough cut of the film, when he received a call from the
studio's public relations director.
“He said that having been involved in the production of the film it
convinced him that Horn was innocent,” Wagner said. “He suggested
it would be quite nice if a pardon would come at the time the film was
being released.”
Horn has been blamed for the killing of many cattle rustlers in both
Colorado and Wyoming, but it was the fatal shooting of Willie Nickle,
14, that was his downfall. After being convicted of murder, he was
hanged in Cheyenne at the age of 43.
Travel Commission spokesman Ernie Over said that at one point
the studio had thought about shooting some scenes in Cheyenne.
“They wanted us to work with the Cheyenne merchants to take
down all the neon signs and put dirt on the streets,” Over said. “They
wanted to revert Cheyenne to the time of the movie.
“They didn’t even get to the starting box with that proposition.
They took it down to some fake town in Arizona. ”
A sneak preview of the movie was shown in Cheyenne Friday and
one of those attending was former Supreme Court Chief Justice Rod
ney Guthrie. He said the film was not intended as a documentary.
Instead, he said, it portrayed Horn as a man who lived beyond his
time.

NOW YOU CAN
EARN OVER $6,500
WITH ARMY ROIC.
Before you graduate from college! Because now, you can com
bine service in the Army Reserve or National Guard with Army
ROTC. It’s called the Simultaneous Membership Program (SMP).
And, depending on your academic year when you enter, SMP
can help you earn over $6,500.
Here’s how it works. If you qualify and a vacancy is available,
you become a member of an Army Reserve or National Guard unit
as an officer trainee and, at the same time, enroll in the Army
ROTC advanced course at your college. Your Reserve or Guard
membership will pay you at the minimum level of Sergeant E-5, and
you’ll receive $100 a month during the regular school year as an
Armv ROTC advanced course cadet.
At the end of your second year of advanced ROTC, you’ll be
commissioned a second lieutenant and, assuming there’s a vacancy,
serve with a Guard or Reserve unit while you complete the require
ments for your college degree. Upon graduation, you may con
tinue service with a (juard or Reserve unit while pursuing your
civilian career, or you can, if you prefer, compete for active duty as
an Army officer.
So if you’d like to earn over $6,500 while you’re still in college,
get into SMP. Because SMP can help you do it. You can bank on it!
For further information, contact the Professor of Military
Science at your school.
