DESTRUCTION AT BELroN.
One Man Reported Drowned--Prop'
erty Loss About $4,000.


Bolton, Texas, June 29.-Late yesterday
evening Nolans creek began to rise rapidly
and by Q o'clock last night a twenty foot
rise was the result, running through the
city, carrying with it houses. fences.
household goods, vehicles. stock, poultry,
etc. Considerable damage was done to a
valuable bridge on West avenue, one end
being washed away and as it went down
several parties who saw it say that man,
unknown, went down with it. Those on
the bridge had to make a quick jump to
save themselves.
The bottom farms along the Nolan and
Leon have suffered greatly. The machin-
cry at the electric light house has been
partially covered with backwater from the
Leon and is supposed to be badly dam
aged The Island wagon yard was COM
pletely inundated and several buildings
We're washed away.
At the Andrews wagon yard the loss
was also heavy. In the neighborhood of
the Confederate park several houses were
washed from their foundations. The hand
some new iron fence around the Confed-
crate grounds was washed away on tho
east side and the grounds were badly dam
aged. North of the Avenue bridge the nat
was a sea Of water and one dwelling and
contents was washed away down the tur-
bulent Nolan. The damage in this city
will probably amount to $4,000. The
waters are receding, but 1t is raining now
at p. m. and 1t is feared the end Is not
yet.

MARROW ESCAPES.

Chappell Hill, Texas, June 30.-Latest
reports from the overflow in the bottom
give thrilling adventures of whole fami-
lies In their efforts to escape from the
raging waters; twenty-five or thirty five
families were brought out yesterday who
no doubt would have been lost but for the
timely assistance rendered by rescuing
parties Hastily constructed boats were
sent down and We're the means of saving
many lives.
One Mexican Is reported drowned He
worked on the R. X. Fielder place, and
with others attempted to swim out on
horses, when he became detached from
his party and Is supposed to have been
drowned as he has not since been seen.
The destruction of growing crops is lust
awful; no estimate even approximating
correctness can now be placed upon the
loss which will result. Such an overflow
has never been known here before.
Nothing is talked about Just now but
the great rain we have had and its conse-
quences--S0 hours of a continual down.
pour, the heaviest known here for years;
the bottom is a sea of water and many
have narrowly escaped from drowning.
Cattle in large numbers are ON small high
points entirely surrounded by water and
liable to be lost Several small boats have
been hurriedly constructed and sent down
10 rescue those who are In danger and to
drive out the cattle II 1t can be done. The
damage is already very great, and as the
Brazos is still rapidly rising, what the
ultimate losses will be no one can possibly
tell. II is terrible calamity and casts
gloom and despond over the entire COM
munlty. Have had no trains now for two
Gays past and daily papers much missed.

Crops Will he Damaged Fully Fifts
Per Cent.

Crops VIII he Damaged Fully Fifty
Per Cent.
Brennan, Texas, June 30.-At $3.50 this
morning the record showed that since
Tuesday morning zoos inches of rain has
fallen here. 1t Is hard to estimate the
damage to the crops. Up to the time the
rain commenced the prospects were good
for cotton and corn. Now 1t is prob
lematical. The greater part of the crop
is made In the bottom land. The Brazos
river is now flowing over thousands of
acres of land; every creek in this section
has overfiowed and is standing on the
crops. and there are estimates of so per
cent OF damage to cotton, with a greater
damage to corn. rhe uplands will not.
suffer as have the lowlands, but when it
is considered that the biggest part of the
crop Is along the bottoms it can be seen
that this estimate of the whole crop Is
not far off. Some of the largest farms in
this county are under water
No trains are running through Brennan
except those on the branch between Hemp
stead and Austin. The damage to the
Santa Fe railway in this vicinity Is very
heavy. Two miles of the Houston and
Texas Central tracks east of here are
under water. Commissioners of this coun-
ty will meet Saturday to consider new
bridges in place of all those washed away.

AT CHAPPELL HILL.
The Whole Country Has Been Flood
ed by the Rnin.

INC w AOle SOuhtEy HuS OGCh + AVON'
ed by the Rain.
Chappell Hill, Texas, June 29.-The
biggest and heaviest rainfall that this Sec
ton has ever witnessed fell here on Tues
day night last, continuing throughout
Wednesday and Wednesday night and
Thursday. The rain came down in tor
rents, accompanied by terrific wind, and
made things look very squally.
The whole country is flooded and crops
materially injured-corn is all laying fiat
on the ground and likely to rot. Bottom
farms are largely under water, acres upon
acres of both corn and cotton totally SUBJ
merged and no hope for them but utter
ruin and destruction, and, too, the Brazos
is still rising and more and more of the
finest and best farms in the State await
ing destruction.
1t has been eleven or twelve years since
our bottom lands have been overlooked
and then nothing comparable to this.
What the ultimate damage will be no
one can now estimate. and with the
Brazos still rising makes the problem still
more difficult of solution.
1t is terrible and enough to make the
stoutest grow weary and sick, and yet the
destruction goes on and there is no help
for it..

Wallis, Austin County, Texas, June 80
Rain fell for sixty hours with very
slight intermisslon, causing all creeks to
rise to unprecedented heights. The San
| Antonio and Arkansas Pass railroad bridge
and the wagon bridge across the Bernard
river were both carried away and nearly
all public road bridges adjacent to this
town.
The Brazos river is now backing out
over the bottom and is steadily rising,
There seems to be no possible salvation
for the bottom planter this year. All
stock have been removed and residents
are moving out; the San Antopio and
Arkansas Pass work train bringing out
some fifty families today, for which kind
service to these poor people the road
should receive the gratitude and thanks
of every person.
