KILLED IN TEXAS CLOUDBURST.
FIFTEEN LIVES AT LEAST HAVE BEEN
LOST AT COLEMAN

Coleman. Tex, July 16.-Fifteen lives are
known to have been lost in a cloudbust here
to-day Ten bodies have been recovered but
only two were identified. They are those of Jo-
seph Spath, leading merchant of the village,
and John Fouleisstein.
1t is feared that many more lives were lost in
the valley below Coleman. The cloudburst,
which followed three days unprecedented rain
fall caused Fords Greek to burst its banks and
rush through Coleman, a village of less than one
thousand Inhabitants.
Bewtldered citizens reused from their slum-
bers, rushed into the streets and were swept
away Many were saved by catching hold of
pieces of timber and navigating them into eddies
formed by the swift current where they were
drawn ashore.
Spath and Fouleisstein managed to mount
their horses They dashed into the water ana
swan their horses to a house where four little
girls were screaming for help Each rescued
two of the children, whom they took upon thelr
horses. The animals were swept away, how
ever in a noble effort to stem the swift cur
rent and all drowned.

WORKING ON THE BREMEN.
WHEN PUMPED OUT SHE TURNS TURTLE
PONTOONs NEEDED TO FLOAT HER.

W
PONTOONs NEEDED TO FLOAT HER.
The Bremen, soon after she had been pumped
clear of water, turned turtle Sunday night on Wee
hawken, where the wrecking company was at work
trying to float her. She now lies heavily In the
river bed worse off than she has been at any time
since the fire. Her port side is under water While
her starboard rail stands high up above the sur
face Of the river toward the New-Jersey shore.
The wreckers all ready by IL o'clock Sun
dav morning to begin getting the water of the
Bremen. They had closed all the dead lights. and
had made ready eleven steam pumps. which have
a combined capacity of 21,000 gallons a minute
The Monarch, next to the largest derrick In the
world lying close up to the Bremen's port side. at
tached two two-inCh chains the sides of the
vessel. on the starboaTd side the Champion and
the Atlas made fast two more of these heavy
chains, each of which had a tensile strength Of
fifty tons.
When the pumps had taken out about one million
gallons the Bremen began to list. She went over
to port ten degrees. Then the big Monarch started
her engines, and. tugging the heavy chains they
brought the ship back to her true level. But with
the pumping she continued to list. Soon the Mon
arch's engines helpless to get the ship back
into position. The Bremen listed more and more.
BY o'clock she had gone over twenty degrees
Then they ceased pumping.
When along toward o'clock a heavy tide was
running IN, the Bremen rose from the river bed.
and, freed from the thousands Of tons of water
and topheavy she turned heavily on her port SIDE.
The heavy chains which held her snapped as she
went over, just missing the side of the Monarch
Several men were on board the Bremen as she
went over But the snap of the heavy chains
warned them in time Of their danger, and hastily
climbing up the steep side of the turning boat they
boarded a derrick in safety
The weight Of the incoming water steadied the
Bremen a little. When she struck bottom she
rested on her port side at angle Of about % de-
grees Although she Is in position that makes

Piled TO the sunken ship. Yesterday heavy chains
were Dassed beneath the vessel. TOwboats passed
them under the bow and. tugging back and forth,
worked them up beneath her body Most or me me

their occupants compelled to wade the land.
None Of the boats capsized, although there
many narrow escapes.
At Jackson Park two boys in attempting to
jump from their tossing boat at the landing
slipped and fell into the water, which is deep al
that point. The struggling youths rescued by
park policeman. On the lake numerous and sud
den squalls made boating unpleasant and even
dangerous, and there were few pleasure craft out
