a gloom over this city, as he was we'll
known and highly respected citizen. He
has lived at Wilmington over score of
years, was postmaster there for many
years and also had the only drug store
that was ever in Wilmington. He had
served in the union army and lived an
upright and honorable life. His sole
ambition was to look after the welfare
of his family and make all who knew
him happy. In his death Wilmington
loses one of it's oldest and best citizens.
Mr.. Laubersheimer is the last one of the
five trustees of Wilmington. He leaves
a wife and five children to mourn for
a kind husband and a loving father.
The funeral services took place this af-

o'clock this morning the IRE alarm
sounded TO arouse the people In the

the levee had broken and that the food
waters OF the Rio Grande were rushing
through the city. The levee which
broke was on the bank OF the canal on
santon street. The river had reached
the highest point since 1891.
In few minutes, a largo force Of
men we're at work trying to check the
angry waters with sacks filled with
sand, but a second break above back
ed up the water on the workmen and
they had to retire.
The Texas and Pacific railroad FealIE-
ing that hundreds Of families were be
Ing flooded from their homes, backed IN
large number OF empty freight cars
for the accommodation Of the homeless.
Not less than one hundred and twenty
homes were swept away and tonight
several hundred men are at work on q
new levee. They threw up an em-
bankment on Third street to try and
check the advance OF the water which
Is running over one Of the Main street
bridges.
The splash OF the houses as they fail
Is mingled with the cries OF aftrlghted
women and children who are driven
from their homes. People residing in the
lower part of the city are leaving their
homes and moving to the foothills of
Mount Franklin.
Several hundred families are now
housed In cars. Should the improviOed
