Hempatead, Texas, July 13.-It has been
said that wars are required to develop
heroes, and 1t has been said as truthfully
that all calamitles develop heroes, and
while the former is generally admitted.
the latter will be readily proven by the
act OF one young farmer boy during tho
recent catastrophe In the Brazos valley.
On the night OF tho second day OF July
the Brazos, after rising ten or twelve
feet a day for several days, commenced
to run over the lowlands with terrible
force and swlftness. Almost like NOV
ing wall several feet high It moved over
the Brazos valley at Sunnyside, surround-
ing the huts OF the unsuspecting negroes
and cutting off their retreat And here
our hero was born. Fritz MCGEE heard
brave heart laid out line of duty and
action. He jumped into the very first
boat. new and untried, neither caring nor
asking whether 1t would 1oat, leak or
sink, but on he went to the aid of crying
women and children and men, and when,
after twenty four hours OF continuous
work against current, drift and obstacles
at the risk OF his life. no human life
could be saved any more, he got out cat
tie. household goods and valuables
wherever he could get at them. Eighty
two lives OF negroes were thus saved by
this young man, besides six white men
who, after their boats had capsized, had

Austin, Texaa, July 15.--The governor
today received $500 additional for the
flood sufferers. including a donation Of
$1,000 from Simons Hardware company Of
St Louis. During the day a telegram
was received from Millicap alleging that
there are 1000 people thore without pro-

complaint. Mayor Adams OF Bryan has
taken care of the Millican people and a
large shipment al food was sent them from
Galveston.
An application for assistance was re-
ceived from Hammond. Robertson county.
This evening the governor gave out the
following in view OF the impression oh
tanning abroad that the major PORTION OF
the State has been affected by the Brazos
floods, said impression having been created
by exaggerated reports sent out by sensa-
tlonal correspondents, helped along by Of
ficious politicians: THE impression has
gone abroad that Il large portion OF Texas
has been inundated, This Is erroneous.
The damage from flood caused by excessive
rainfall has been confined to the valley of
the Brazos. which is a very small part OF
this great State. The crops in ether ror-
tions of the State are in good condition and
have been benefited by recent rains. They
promise most abundant harvest.

court which was to have been held at the
beginning of this month. has been forgot

OF this town have forwarded petition
to Judge Wells Thompson. asking him
not to hold the next term of district court,
TO convene here in August. and this, ac-
cording to the general opinion expressed,
is wrong. There are fourteen men in Jail
and they are entitled TO hearing Farm
ers such as generally do jury duty, do
not live In the bottoms. and II they do
they can easily be excused. The holding
Of court will put in circulation jury fees
and other court expenses. which at this
time Will be much appreciated. The put
ting off of court until the February term,
1900 will overcrowd the docket for prob
ably two or three terms. These and many
other reasons are advanced TO show why
court should be held and there is talk Of
a counter petition. Several lawyers. who
signed the frst petition, regret their ac-
ton and will sign the counter petition.

The GRIMES COUNTY LYNCHING
DETAILS of THE sTRINGING UP OF
HARRY MAGEE.
The Father of the Dead Boy, Lemuel
Sharp, Was the First to Sec
His SONS Dead Body.

Navasota, Texas, July 15.-Within the
past two days the criminal record of
Grimes county has had added to 1t two
tragedies
AS was stated in this paper yesterday,
young white boy named Lsmuel Sharp
was shot and killed in j. w. Mayfield' s
pasture Thursday, and a young negro by
the name OF Harry Magee, about 20 years
old, was suspected OF having committed the
crime.
Fate decreed that the anguish stricken
father should be the first to look upon
the drawn features of his beloved son,
lying as he had been slain by his merci-
less. cold blooded murderer, beneath q
tree In the pasture of ]. w. Mayfield. He
was killed instantly. having been shot
three times-in the arms. head and shout
ders.
When the body had been conveyed to
the sorrowful home. the hunting party
took the trail of Magee. The news was
sent TO Anderson, and Constable Clay
Jones Joined the searchers. Judge Thorn
as attended to the boys funeral, and af-
ter the body had been consigned to its
last resting place, and was riding back
w so"H' ne WAS somewhat startled, and
yet not greatly surprised, upon percevIng
the body OF negro swinging aimlessly
from a limb Of the same tree under which
young Sharp had been so cruelty slain.
He then held an Inquest ON the body of
Harry Magee, as such 1t proved to be,
finding that deceased had been hanged by
unknown parties. He ordered the body
cut down and buried by other colored peo.
pie, which was accordingly done.
Following the gruesome discovery of the
morning. the crowd of furious men IN
search OF the murderer quickly grew and
fatigue was never thought of afterwards.
a division OF the posse overhauled Magee
close TO Lake creek, about three miles
from Red Top. Constable Jones attempt
ed to get Magee up behind him to take
MIN TO jail. He was powerless The
crowd had determined on Its course In an
instant Several big revolvers were
thrown in his face and friendly sugges-
ton that "yonder's the road to Ander-
son; We'll bring the prisoner along after
awhile, gave the officer his cue-one
which It would not have been healthy for
him to have disregarded. He rode to the
county capital, and the body was found
as related, having been strung up by
about 500 men between 5 and 6 o'clock
