THE iii HALF NOT TOLD il /

a Wheeling Man Receives Letter
From storm-stricken Texas That
Tells Of tho Awful Horror Of the
Situation There.
Mr.. T. NJ. Gnryin has received let
ter from his brother. Mr.. D. NJ. Garvin,
OF Houston, Texas, which tells OF the
awful situation which tho recent gulf
storm has ;bequeathed to Texas outsid.
OF tho city OF Galveston. a section that
was not generally known to hayo been
struck so hard. Says Mr.. Garyin:
Buslness has not resumed It's normal
state; people going to and fro not
knowing what 10 do. even the strongest
minds were outdone. 1t would be i'm
possible to picture, the dreadful catas-
.trophe to any one The wind and rain
hard 1t separated brick and mortar, TAX
ing sections Of masonry off well built
buildings. gables and towers or
churches, breaking heavy plate glass
and thousands Of small window lights
by main force, uprootlng shade and
ornamental trees until our city looked
like a vast clearing In q forest. Nearly
all the telephone and telegraph poles
were broken OF, some split and splin-
tered half their length, lying In every
direction across the streets, only adding
destructive scenery to the vast loss Of
beautiful trees. .uy
Ono cannot realize that only two poo

night OF The storm. A hack driver by

are chronicled.
Nearly all over Harris county, the
water was from two to three feet deep.
drowning all the small stock, also
many cows and calves. Personal ef-
fects were found miles away from
their owners when the water ran Off,
quite q number Of persons lost their
lives in the country and 1t is q miracle
that anyone escaped alive. It would be
Impossible to picture the reality TO
any one outside Of the storm limit.
: The hal: will never be told. While
the city OF Galveston and some of the
surrounding towns suffered great loss
OF life and property. they are being
cared for. Contributions are pouring in
from all parts Of the world. The poor
country people who are In just rs bad
condition, and some Of them worse. are
not being looked after as they should.
Not only are their crops and stock
gone. but many OF their homes are
blown to atoms, leaving nothing but
the canopy Of heaven for shelter.
These unfortunate people are mostly
new settlers and are from every state
In the Union. Iappeal to you and your
Christian friends who are more fortu-
nate, to each one help little to pro-
vide shelter from the coming winds and
storms Of winter, which is fast ap-
preaching.

A Fremont, Neb., january 8, dis
patch says: William RheA, Edward
Gardner and William Darrell were
taken before Judge Wintersteen IT
1910 o'clock for preliminary hearing
and were charged with being the muir

entered plea Of not guilty, waived ex-
animation and were bound over to the
district court for trial. Bail was de-
MED.
The authorities had taken great care
that the time for the preliminary hear
ing should not be known. Only two
or three persons, besides the lawyers,
were in the court room when the pris-
oners were brought over from the
county Jail. Rhea WAS carried in "a

the lawyer they have employed is q
member of the legislature and will not
be able to attend that session Of court.
The matter which is .uppermost in
the mind Of Sheriff Kreader, and some
OF the other county officials at this
time is the whereabouts of certain
ten dollar note which it was hoped
would be very valuable evidence in
connecting Mrs. w. ID. Williams with
the robbery. This WAS given to Emil
Zahn, brother Of the dead man, :
couple Of days ago to take to Snyder
that It might be identified by the bar
keeper in Zahn's saloon. 1t was bad
" worn and had been pasted together
by means of piece Of bright red
paper. For this reason it could be
identified easily. The bill was found
concealed on the person Of Mrs. viii
liams. together with about $75. when
she was brought to jail On the way
home Zahn lost this, and no trace Of It
has since been found. A. reward was
offered and every effort will be made
to have it brought in by the finder.
