A MIGHTY STREAM.
Small Mountain Stream suddenly Assumes
Enormous Proportions and sweeps Every
thing Before It-Great Disaster.

Special to the Gazette.
EAGLE Pass, TEX, Sept. 1.-THE
Rio Escondio, paltry mountain stream ,
taking its rise in the Zaragosa noun
tains, some fifty miles west or Eagle
Pass, aud flowing into the Rio Grande
two miles below this city, yesterday sud-
denly became mighty rushing
river, sweeping all before 1t. The
first indication of an abnormal rise
was noticed at the mines of the
Piedras Negras coal company on the
banks OF the river, Eve miles from here,
and in forty minutes thereafter all the
company's habitable properties outside
the mine were swept away. Two stores
and four dwellings of the most substan-
tial character, built of rock and brick,
on concrete foundations, failed to resist
the immense force of the water,
and with their valuable contents disap-
peared. A large new platform,
coal chute and about 5000 tons of coal
were also washed away; in fact the en-
tire site of the company's offices and
operations outside the main drift in the
ancient bed of the river is an absolute
blank. The compeny's loss can hardly

losses of the officials is quite serious.
The fine bridge of the Mexican
International railroad, about mile
lower down, withstood the i'm
pact of the water and debris,
although at its highest the river
swept over the bridge to depth of four
feet. The track itself as twisted out
of shape, and for distance of 500 yards
north of the bridge it was washed away.
Two hundred men are at work upon it,
and in short time passengers and heavy
freight will pass as usual.
There were to-day many signs of the
fury of the now subsidized waters in
wreckage everywhere scattered. Bales
of cotton from the gin and mill of ]. W.
Riddle s. Co. were deposited
here, three and half miles
from the gin. The raging river was
at least thirty -four feet deep at the rail-
road bridge, and covered a wide extent
of the country. The addition of this
huge volume of water to the swollen Rio
Grande it Is feared will be severe lower
down, especially at Laredo.

MURDERED BY INDIANS
Young Man Killed by the Cheyennes-whi
Settlers Aroused.

Young Man Killed by the Cheyennes- White
Settlers Aroused.
MILES CITY, MONT, Sept. 10.-A tel
egram received to-day by the coroner
from j B. Cooper, agent for the Chey-
ennes, dated Tongue River agency via
Fort Custer, says: ga murder was
committed here three days ago. The
body is awaiting your arrival.
The telegram itself was not explicit,
but letter received from that locality
probably explains. The letter is
from Miss Rosa Lynch and
is dated Lame Deer, September Z.
She writes that her cousin, Hugh Boyle,
started the night before to hunt stray
cattle and had not been seen or heard
from since. His saddle and birdie were
found and detectives with detachment
OF soldiers were out hunting him.
A postscript dated September 8 says
Agent Cooper had asked a man named
Rowland to go among the Indians and
find out If they knew anything about the
missing man. Cooper's telegram above
quoted makes it plain that Boyle's body
has been found and that he was MUIR
dered. AS he was a young man and had
10 enemies, the crime was undoubtedly
committed by the Indians. 1t was only
last Saturday that the Indians arrested on
suspicion of the murder of Robert Fer
guson in May, were turned loose by the
grand jury here for lack of evidence, the
witnesses having been tempered with.
This murder following SO closely on the
heels of the failure to punish the sus-
poets, will no doubt arouse the white set
tiers to war to determination and
bloody scenes may follow soon. The
settlers have declared that If another
white man was killed they would send
the women and children out of the coun-
try and take up the fight themselves,
which with the cowboys, they are album
dainty able to do

HIGH WATER AT EAGLE PASS.
Sudden Rise in the Rio Grandchildren Than
for Ten Years-Part of the Trestle Lead
ing to the Bridge Gone.
Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
EAGLE Pass, TEX, Sept. lo.-The
Rio Grande is higher at this point now
than it has been for ten years. The
greater part Of the rise took place be-
tween and o CLOCK this afternoon and
ii was SO sudden that the lower parts of
this city, which are densely populated
with Me1icans, were under six feet of
water before any person realized the
danger. In consequence much property
was lost, but every person seems to have
escaped from the flooded districts I'M
hurt. About O'Clock some hundred
feet of the iron trestle leading to
the new bridge over the river
was carried away and with it the Office of
the custom guard, the inspector of the
quarantine guard and four or five others.
Although the trestle was fifty feet high
no person was hurt by the fall, and all
except one boy were afterwards
rescued from the wreck, to which
they chung at the railroad bridge, about a
mile down the river. At present the
river Is still rising slowly and the entire
trestle Of HOO feet is in danger. As it is,
all communication with Piedras Negras
is cut off. The telephone and
electric light wires are down and
as the power house is on this side Piedras
Negras is in darkness.
The San Antonio river, about four
miles west of this city, is also on the
boom. This river came down with a rise
of ten feet and did great damage,
carrying away all the houses and
improvements just built at the mines of
the Piedras coal company. The track of
the Mexican International railway was
also washed out, and railroad travel to
the south is suspended for the day.

ILL-FATED NO. -.
A Tremendous Volume of Water Catches q
Southern Pacific Train Near Del Rio
and Does Serious Damage.
Special TO the Gazette.

special to the Gazette.
SAN ANTONIO, TEX, Sept. 10.-A
very remarkable accident occurred last
night on the Southern Pacific railroad.
The through fast passenger train from
San Francisco was rumbliug along at
about forty miles an hour. The track
was saggy and springy from the hard
rains of the past few days, and the en-
glneer when approaching johnson 3
bridge, ten miles west of Del Rio, and
thought that it might be dangerous TO
cross that structure, he consequently
stopped his train about mile from the
bridge, intending to send men forward
with lanterns to inspect its timbers with
the view of determining its safeness, but
the train hardly ceased moving before
tremendous waterspout rushed down
from the mountains on the north. The
huge column of water In giffy liftod
engine ana mail and baggage cars from
the rails and turned them over on their
sides and washed out 400 or 500 feet of
the track. The passenger coaches stood
firm aud none of the occupants of the
wrecked portion of the train were hurt.
Fireman Daniel sprang from the engine
when he saw the water monster swoop-
ing down towards him, and was thought
to have been lost. He turned up all
right to-day, however. The washout
has DELAYED all traffic of this division of
the road though the delayed passengers
were brought through this evening by
transfer. Another curious feature of
the mishap was that the train involved
is the i'll fated No. 10 which has been the
victim of nearly every accident on the
Southern Pacific road for the past two
years, starting with the famous train
robbery at HARDWOOD.

ANOTHER KENTUCKY FEUD.
A Fresh One Breaks Out in Breathitt County.
One Man Killed and Two Wounded
at Religious Revival.

LEXINGTON, KY, Sept. 1s.-Another bloody
feud has broken out in Breathitt county. This
time it began with the killing Of Andy Palmer
on Sunday last at Belts creek. religious re-
vival was in progress when two young men be-
gan to make disturbance and went out of
church to fght out their quarrel. The county
iu lge was present and ordered a constable to ar
rest them. The constable summoned to his as
sistance man named Mcintosh, who had killed
man six weeks ago. Palmer interferred on be-
half the young men, and snapped his pistol at
Mcintosh. The latter ran for his Winchester
secreted near by and fired on Palmer, killing
him. A general fight then followed in which
several parties were injured, two of them prob
ably fatally wounded with knives. Friends of
Mcintosh and Palmer are expected to continue
the feud until vengeance is gratifed.
