Rims Have Done Good.


Rains Have Done Good
Galveston, Texas, July 6.-The Texas
flood situation results from four days
steady rain beginning June &c, which
at some points partook of the nature
of cloud-bursJs. In some cases the
rainfall was twenty inches, and at sew
eral places it was reported as eight
inches. These heavy rainfalls caused
rivers TO overflow, in some cases reach
ing the highest points known. Re-
ports were circulated that fifty people
were drowned. AS the waters recede
be that fourteen lives were lost. All
of the victims were negroes except
one. Many head of cattle were drowned.
The food condition now in the lower
Brazos valley at Brookshire, Wallis,
Richmond. Rosenberg, Thompson,
Duke, Arcola, Flushear, Chenango and
Columbia is very bad. Many hands
were caught in trees near Brookshire.
Those driven out of the valley fiocked
to the town, and are being fed. The
citizens of Brookshire appealed to
Governor Sayers for help. Many con-
tributions were sent freely. Rumors
were current that many lives were lost
at Brookshire but the News only has
positive information that two lives
have been lost. Congressman Hawley
has wired Governor Savers to ask the
secretary of war for authority to send
boats from Galveston up the BraZos
river to rescue people caught in the
flood. Boats have already been sent
from Houston. Others have been made
on the scene of the flood.
One fact which tends to discredit
heavy loss of life in the lower .Brazos
valley is that the planters knew the
flood was coming. and had time to
warn their hands. Outside of the dis
asters at Calvert and Brookshire there
have been about six drownings during
the past week at different points in
central and southern Texas. due to the
floods. The News will not attempt to
give an estimate as to the crop damage.
but believes the rains have done more
good than harm. Crops outside the
flooded districts are in fine condition.
The waters recede rapidly and the
crops will not be total loss in the
flooded districts.

Twelve Persons Hurt and a Miracle No

Elko, Neo., July 6.-Passenger train
No. 1 was completely wrecked yester-
day about three miles from Elko. The
wreck was caused by the rails spread
ing and the drawhead OF the engine
pulling out. The engine. one freight
car and the last passenger car were
the only ones left on the track. Six
cars, including the mail. baggage and
express cars and three sleepers, were
overturned, and two day coaches de-

1t is a miracle that no one was killed.
as there were quite a number of pas
sengers returning to their homes from

most seriously injured, having sus-
tanned severe wounds. There were ten

St Louis, July Ga special to the
Post-Dispatch from Dallas, Texas,
says: At 1:45 p. m yesterday Deputy
Sheriff Swearingen, of Austin county,
| made the following statement over the
long distance telephone at Sealey:
Relief has not reached the flood vic
Tins in this section. Thirteen dead
bodies have been recovered near the
town of Brookshire, thirteen mills from
here Forty-five persons above SeaIey
are reported missing and given UP for
dead Seven were drowned today in
boat seven miles below Sealey. About
400 persons are isolated on a small
piece of land in the Brazos bottoms,
three miles from Brookshire. Several
hundred more are similarly surrounded
at San Felipe, three miles from Sea-
ley. Unless relief can soon reach these
two places the 500 lives will probably
be lost. Many will die, as il is, from
hunger, exposure and exhaustion.
Whole Face of the Country a Sea.
The water today is running through
the town of Brookshire, something
never before known. The sixty-five
lives reported lost here today were in
a radius o9 twenty miles north and
south of Sealey. We are completely
isolated at Sealey, out this town is not
in danger. We cannot estimate the
situation beyond the limits l mention.
The whole face of the country here is
sea. The channel of the Brazos river
has shifted about three miles. and the
water here is fifteen miles wide. Logs,
houses, lumber and railroad material,
merchandise, live stock and other float
ing objects make it worth the life OF
rescuers to go to the relief of the en-
dangered people, most of whom are
negroes.
Last Railway Communication Goes.
THE railroads are destroyed for
miles. An immense washout occurred
on the Santa Fe, south of Sealey, this
morning. This cuts off our last strand
of railroad communication. The Mis-
souri,. Kansas G. Texas, the Gulf Colo
RADIO & Santa Fe, and the Southern Pa
cific are all completely stopped. The
framework OF the big Missouri, Kan
sas & Texas bridge at Dewey is all that
is left of that structure, which, if it
is not swept bodily away, will have to
be rebuilt. The scenes at San Felipe
and in the bottoms near Brookshire
are indescribable. The weather is
heavy and cloudy this afternoon. and
we fear more rain will fall tonight"

on His Father-in-Law.
Chicago, July 6.-August Becker, on
trial for numbering his wife and boil
ing up the body, was on the stand in
his own behalf yesterday. He denied
any part in the killing of his wife,
who was, he claimed, beaten to death
by Geore Sutterlein, the father of
Becker's second wife. Becker admitted
assisting Sutterlein to dispose of the
body by cutting it up and boiling it.
On cross-eXamination he stuck to his
story.
The defense concluded its testimony
when Becker left the stand, and the
prosecution placed Sutterlein, whom
Becker accused of the murder, upon the
stand. He denied any knowledge of
the crime, saying he never heard of
it until his son-in-law was arrested.
