his wounds: that they put him out of
the house while he was drunk and know
nothing OF his whereabouts until the
police found him in the basement.

Austin, Tex, June S.--The cloud burst
Eot yesterday which swelled the rivers of
this portion Of the state, out of their
banks and caused great loss of proper
ty, was much worse than reported last
night. Many Of the people are known
to have persisted, meagre reports tonight
placing the number number at 25.
Today reports came from San Saba and
Manardville, small towns 90 miles north
Of here in the mountains, saying that both
towns had been swept by the raging
floods and were badly devastated. In
San Saba eight people were drowned and
the entire town Is reported under water.
The river at that point is now one mile
ws5s and running like min race. At
Manardville, 1s houses were swept away.
The river is reported as rising at both
places and grave fears are entertained
that the entire country in that neightor-
hood will be laid to waste.
San Saba is located on valley and
vast tracts of wheatfields are under water.
These crops will prove total loss.
Many persons, according to reports re-
ceived here today, had difficulty in get
ting to high land. The situation at
Minardville Is even more serious. A
small town located to the right and in the
tend of the river, in theivalley, 1t proved
am easy prey to the raging torrents. Sew
enteen persons are known to have heen
drowned there and there may be others.
OF the drowned two were young white
girls. Lydia and Amy Wells, by name.
The others were all negroes who were liv-
ing in cabins close to the river front.
This additional flood has not reached
Austin, but it is expected here some time
during the night. A 45-foot rise is ex
pected. The big dam and power houss at
this point have been under heavy strain
since yesterday owingrto terrific force of
the food.
