Verne Ward Dead.

Mr.. Verne Ward who accidently
shot himself in the hand with a
blank cartridge while fixing to &c
on the stage in a Mountain
Waif," at this place three weeks
ago, died yesterday from lock jaw
The young man did not think the
wound amounted to much and was
up and about for several days af
ter receiving it. He was seized
with lock jaw, and suffered unit
death relieved him.
His sudden death has cast a
gloom over those who were ac-
quainted with him and who were
engaged in the home talent com
pany that played with him,
He was an exemplary young man
and would have made name for
himself had he lived. To his grief
stricken parents we offer our con-
dolence.
The remains were buried at the

er Of Patten's
Daughter.

The usual quiet of New Lewisvile,
Ark, was disturbed this morning
by a fussilade of shots fired by Ber-
ry Patten ana 7. M. Harper, at
each other, Mr.. Patten had heard
that Harper had made some slight
ing remarks about his daughter,
and last night meeting him jumped
on him and a fistcuff encounter was
had. Harper proved the best man
and it is said got the best of the
fight.
This morning as Harper was 60
ing to the Office to work, Patten
was on his route waiting for him,
and when Harper showed mp, Pat
ten opened on him with a pistol and
began firing. He had succeeded in
firing three times at Harper before
the latter got out his pistol, who
began to ssreturn fire for fire, and
each man stood face to face blazing
away. When both pistols were
emptied and the smoke cleared
away, it was found that Patten
had received a ball just under the
nipple and it was pronounced a
dangerous wound-Harper was not
hit;
We learn that Harper denies
making remarks about the young
lady. AS Patten made the assault
on Harper, the people are inclined
to justify Harper in using his pis-
tol.

THE TEXAS FLOOD.
A Government Expert of the statisti-
cal Bureau Reports,

Washington, Aug. 15.-Mr. e. S.
Holmes, Jr., an expert of the sta
tistical bureau of the department
of agriculture, has just completed
a report to Chief Statistician Hyde,
of that department, embodying the
results of tour of the food .devas-
tated region of Texas and making a
careful estimate of the damage
done, the aggregate of which he
place at 81, 140, ,000 The report
states that the greatest damage
was in McLennan, Falls, Milan,
Robertson, Brazos, Burleson, Grimes
Washington, Waller, Austin, Fort
Bend and Brazoria counties. The
number of farms submerged is esti-
mated at $500, which is total
area of about 1,380,000 acres. OF
this area at the time of the flood
there were abont 503, 900 acres I'M
der cultivation 339, 900 acres being
in cotton. $4,000 acres in corn,
10000 acres in sugar cane and 28,-
600 acres in other crol with a tot; |
production iu sight equivalent alto
gether to about $7,9O0,0O0. Al
though nearly 80 per cent of
the total loss occurred In the
destruction of growing crops,
the damage to- farm property and
the losses of live stock, etc,
amounts to the large sum 1914, 900.
The land itself is damaged by wash
ing and culleying to the extent of
over 100000, but this loss about
one-half is estimated is Offset by
the increased future productive
ness resulting from the alIuvlal de-
posit left by the flood,
Mr.. Holmes says that the precise
effect of the flood upon this years
crops is difficult TO estimate, While
the crops over very large area
we're practically destroyed the eff.
feet of the rains on the upland
crops will be highly beneficial and
should, he thinks, result 10 a large
increase in yield though the entire
