dismissed.
Four negroes. charged with being
drunk and disorderly were mex. intro
duced. One was charged with striking
a woman at whose house the entire
party seemed to be familiar. The evi.
jenoe showed that the woman was
drunk also. A fue OF 81 so was i'm
posed upon Fred Jones, who assaulted

which O colored individual named Jack
Beach was accused OF stealing pistol
from a negro. The evidence was spun
out and abouuded 10 repe,itions and
immsterisl details. The case was not
proven to the satisfaction of the court
and was continued, the prisoner being
released on his own recoguizauce.
The last case called was that OF
negro named Henry Butler who was
drunk at the corner of King and WASH

missed him. Butler wore uniform and

virginia FLOODS.
The First Reports Seem to Be Ex-
aggerated.
DISTRICT THAT WAS COVERED.
Graphic Description OF the Rush of Waters
and the Ruin that ResuIted-Later News
Awaited.

The stream along which the Virginia
floods have been reported to be most
disastrous, is the Elkhorn. This stream
joins the Tug river, in which high wa
ter has prevailed, mt the town OF WEIGH.
The Tug mining location, known as the
village of Tug, is five miles below
Welch, so that ut that place the full
effects of the flood in both streams
must have been felt.
The flood district is in the southwest
ern corner of Virginia. 1t is the "Poca-
hontas coal field" The flood area is
large, apparently embracing district
40 miles long and Il or 20 miles wide.
The great loss evidently is to proper
ty. No such number of lives were lost
as the frightened natives first reported.
The original estimates of 200 fatalities
must now be reduced by over half. 1t
will be days before all the small back
county settlements are heard from ana
the exact facts known.
The exact loss of life from the cloud
burst and food in the Elkhorn river
valley will not he known for days. Peo-
pie in that region believe that 100 per-
sons have persisted. The property dam

roads, but there is yet no reliable esti-
mate. The flood district lies in the eX-
treme southwestern end Of West Vir-
ginia 1t is the "Pocahontas coal field"
The center of the district is Bluefeld,
county seat town of 1,775 population,
in Mercer county, about ten miles from
the Virginia line The region lies be-
tween two mountain spurs and west of
the East river mountains. Mining set
Elements are thick, and many of those
mentioned in the dispatches are so
small that they are not known on any
map. The storm broke Saturday, flood
ing the mountain sides and the little
streams tributary is small. barely large
enough to flush the coke ovens. 1t rose
rapidly and Sunday the food was at its
hight. 1t followed the valley, travelling
northwest. Keystone was the first town
of any size struck. 1t was, or had, 1000
people. 1t is located on the main line
of the Norfolk e. Western railway, in
Mcdowell county. about % miles from
Bluefield. The fact that it was Satur-
day and pay day in the mines, bringing
hundreds of miners into the towns. is
believed to point to heavy casualties.

Accused of Numbering His Father.

The body of Charles Bliss, the Ger
man farmer who disappeared from his
home three weeks ago was found sun
day near his home In Washington.
There seems TO be no question that the
old man was murdered. Acting upon
this theory the local authorities placed
Homer Bliss, a son, aged % years old.
under arrest. He is now locked up In
jail at Mt. Clemens, pending the result
of the inquest. Old man Bliss disap-
peared from home on Sunday, June 81.
The first known of his disappearance
was when his wife and son made in
quiry Of the Detroit police concerning
him. They said there had been little
family quarrel on Sunday, and that
he left the house in a rage. They did
not think anything about it until they
found in a desk a hote, presumably
written by the missing man. but not
signed. in which ii was stated that the
writer had gone to Detroit to drown
himself in the Detroit river. The people
in this village and vicinity are stirred
as never before. Everybody is express
ing his opinion now that Bliss body
has been found. and instead of innuen
does open charges of foul play are be-
ing freely made.

Another Gasoline Explosion.

The careless use of gasoline is again
responsible for a horrible accident in
children, a girl aged Is and boy aged
6. The children were left alone in the
house and the daughter thought she
would like to experiment in cooking
She attempted to fill the gasoline tank
while the fire was burning, and an eX-
plosion followed with the result that
both she and her little brother were
horribly burned, the latter dying of
his injuries few hours later. 1t is
thought the girl will recover.
