The City Is Without Light or
Water and Will Be for Sew
eral Weeks.
EVERYTHING UNDER WATER
Reports from the Neighboring
Country Say 1t Is Com

1t Is Estimated That the Total
Loss Will Exceed Three
Million Dollars.

AUSTIN, Tex, April 9.-Owing to the
breaking of the large dam at this place
a disaster occurred not unlike the
Johnstown food, some years ago. A
reservoir of water 80 miles long, half a
mile wide and 60 feet deep was turned
loose on the already flooded valley be-
low, and more than hundred houses
were destroyed and scores of lives
lost.
The dam was used to furnish light
and water for the city, and the situation
is most serious. The wrecking of the
plant means that it will take several
weeks to secure temporary water and
light system, if it can be made possible
even then. In the meanwhile the city
will be in bad sanitary condition. All
the hotels, private residences, stores and
the like are without water, and there is
no fire protection.
Reports from the neighboring coun-
try are TO the effect that everything is
under water In Williamson county,
north of here, railroad bridges and
trackage have been laid waste, and all
trains hava stopped running. Hundreds
of head of cattle have been drowned
and miles of fencing
Torn Down and Washed Away.
In Bastrop county and in the south por-
ton of this county similar conditions
prevail, everything being under water,
and much loss Of property is reported.
The country tributary to the Colorado
river all the way down its course is be-
ing inundated, and while it is believed
the worst is over the loss as estimated
will exceed some $3,OO0,000, counting
Austin as the largest loser.
A mass meeting of citizens has been
called in order that some steps may be
taken to relieve the situation.
There were no trains operated on the
international and Great Northern, as
much of it's track and quite number of
bridges were washed away during last
night, t.a
The Missouri, Kansas and Texas rail
road is also heavy sufferer from like
cause. Reports from several sections Of
the Central and Southern Texas are to
the effect that large acreage is under
water, and much damage has been suf
fered in property and live stock.

A BLESSING. TO THE COUNTY.

The Amboy Herald speaking of the
tax ferret case says: 'Say whatever
you like against the Wellman contract,
but it is fact that it has been bless
ing to the honest tax payers of the
county. There are large number of
the residents of the county who are
praying that the decision of the three
judges be reversed in the supreme
court. Every school district in the
county has been benefited very much
through the efforts of the tax experts.
Take Amboy alone, we received 1898. 90
extra this year, which would not have
been the case had the tax experts never
been heard of. If the county ever re-
ceived a blessing it has now, and the
commissioners are to be congratulated
for having secured the ferrets."

This is the title of a 24-page folder,
recently issued by the Burlington
route and containing, besides a brief
Introduction, nine letters from resi-
dents of the state, setting forth their
experiences since they settled in
Nebraska.
The letters make it clear that the
man who comes to Nebraska with few

stout heart can, in the course of few
years, be independent of landlords,

which make life struggle for the ten.

strate that the money he pays for the
rent of a farm anywhere east of the

through cattle, wheat, and fruit as
well as through corn.

THREE FIGHTS.
Local Pugs Pound Away at One
Another.
The Only Man Hurt Was the Referee,
Who Made an Unpopular
Ruling.

A series of sparring matches was pulled
off in the town of Decoria four miles from
ST, Clair, Saturday night. About hum
dred sports were present from this city,
Fairmont. GAINESVILLE, Mapleton, Blue
Earth, ST. Clair and other places. It had
been intended to have the affair pulled off
in ST. Clair, where previous occurrences
of like nature have happened recently
but objection was raised there. and the en-
tire party repaired to barn in the coun
try. There it was found that the posts
were too numerous and the fighters refus-
ed to fight Then another trek was
made, and the party brought up at the
Decoria town hall, where there was plenty
of room
The first match was between pugilist
from this city, and farmer living near
St. Clair. Both men were in prime con-
dition. A young business man, who holds
a place of trust in village in the south
eastern part of the county. was referee,
and among the spectators was the sheriff
of neighboring county and other well
known people. Six ounce gloves were
used, and Queensbury rules were adhered
to.
In the first round, the Mankato man had
little the best of the fighting. but in the
second round the farmer slipped and fell.
While yet on his knees. the Mankato
pugulist struck him. which was obviously
a foul. The Mankato man offered to give
the St. Clair pugulist the match, but the
latter waived his right and preferred to 60
on with the fight. THE third round was
about stand off. but when the fourth was
called, the referee said that he had con-
cluded to give the match to the farmer on
the strength of the foul in the second. The
two sparrers divided the gate receipts,
which were nearly $40. Neither one had
a scratch to show for the affair, and both
were apparently good for many more
rounds. So evenly matched were the men
that no one could fortell the outcome had
the referee not ended the affair when he
did.
Two more sparring matches were had,
but they were of little interest as com
pared with the first one. One of these
lasted FIVE rounds and the other lasted
three rounds. The contestants were local
parties, one being a normal school student,
so it is said.
The referees decision in the first match
displeased many of the spectators, who
called the whole affair farce, and some
declared that they could not be induced
to witness another affair of the kind. One
of the spectators got after the referee and
used him up so badly that it is reported
that he will not be able to attend social
functions for few days. His face re-
sembled the map of South Africa.
