THIRTEEN LIVES ARE LOST.
PORT ARTHUR AND SABINE CITY
 SWEPT BY A HURRICANE.
A Heavy Rainstorm Follows and Nearly Every Building in Both
 Towns Wrecked.

Rumors reached this city Monday of serious disaster at Port Arthur in the nature of tidal wave destroying the greater portion of both Port Ar thur and Sabine.
 The wires being down nothing authentic could be learned prior to the arrival of the train from Port Arthur last night, except that both towns had been storm sweped, several lives lost and much property destroyed.
 Among the passengers on the north bound train last night were Mir. s. E, Hayes and family, who were returning from Port Arthur to their former home at Eureka Springs, and who are quite we'll known here.
 To Star representative Mir. Hayes stated that four men, a woman and a child were killed at Port Arthur and seven or eight persons killed at Sabine, also that two boats with captains and crews were reported lost and that the loss in property would amount to fully $50, 900.
 He said that the new pier had been completed three-fourths of a mile into the lake and fully three -fourths of it was destroyed the roundhouse-a frame structure blown down, the large hotel badly damaged and every 1,,;I1;,,-c ;, Da,+ h~+1,,,,. o.oa,,+ 4l,o passenger depot more or less injured.
 Mir. Hayes described the storm as strong wind blowing about two hours accompanied by heavy rain filling the gutters and low places from one to three feet with water, while at Sabine the water was reported to be from three to six feet deep.
 He stated that the wind was so strong that q woman while attempt ing to leave a falling building with her baby in h CT arms had it blown from her and 1t was found two hours later in @ pond drowned.
 Mr. Hayes described the storm as terrific and said that he and his family, among whom was Dr. Bellcham Der, were in his house when they felt that it was going down and ran to small CT one near just in time to escape the walls, which he believes, would have killed them all if they had remained. Mir. Hayes had sold out at Port Arthur and was getting ready to return to Eureka Springs when the storm came.
