FRANCISCO Romero shot and killed Jose

The case is likely to create sensation,
as Verastegui's friends are alleged 10

holds the rank of general of division. and
is q skillful and valiant officer, was Judge
of the duel, and it lis said that the code
does not provide any penalty for holding
that place, so he will be absolved. Since
the famous duel was fought with fatal re-

to the depth of five inches in the noun

was rushing down i'm torrents and in a
few minutes the streets of this city were
filled with a flood two TO four feet deep.
The water rushed through the streets
with such rapidity that crossing was inn
possible. A foot bridge was washed
away and with it adj means of getting out
of the flooded district. nhe might was
intensely dark and all might the people
were panic stricken. Scores of people
gave themselves up for lost when some
weaker buildings began to crumble before
the destructive flood. Nine buildings
were swept DOWN and many others were
damaged, but strange to say not a life
was lost. The business portion of the
city beggars description. Many buildings
are settling and the loss will reach thOus-
ands of dolIars more than the loss that is
now certain. Estimates place the loss as
high as 100000. but this Us probably
excessive. The railroad company sustains
a heavy loss and it will take a week to
