TOWN UNDER WATER.
Rise Has Done Enormous Damage at
Big Springs, Texas.

Big Springs, Tex. July 24.-The streets
of Big Springs have been inundated by
the heavy rains and train service on the
Texas and Pacific has been suspended,
At o'clock yesterday afternoon water
began running down the railroad track
and in two hours the railroad shops,
tracks and the business and residence
portion near the tracks were under wa
ter from three to ten feet deep. Another
rise is eXpeced to reach here tonight.
and it is believed that other portions Of
the town will then be submerged.
The people living in the exposed portion
of the town were notified in time to Sc
cure a place Of safety. No lives have
been reported lost but several narrow es-
capes are reported. AT present it is i'm
possible to estimate the damage, but it
will be enormous with the railroad COM
pany as the heaviest loser. The track
for several miles is washed away and it
will probably be ten days before a train
can get through to the west No train
from the east has arrived since yester-
day. 1t was thirty hours late and no at
tempt was made to run 1t further west
The waterbound passengers are being ta-
ken care Of by the company.
The irrigated farms below this place
have been ruined. Old settlers say that
this is the heaviest rain that has ever
been known here. Ten inches have fallen
in the last few days.

PUT UNDER $500 BOND.
John Kelly Pleads Guilty to Steal
ing Cow.


The negro Joe Howard, alias John KEEL
ley. alleged COW thief. pleaded guilty to
the charge of grand larceny in the Re
corder's Court yesterday afternoon. and
was bound over under a $500 bond to
await the action Of the grand jury.
The COW did not come from the farm
of Mr.. Cornell, near Mt. Meigs. as was
stated by Howard when first seized by
detectives Payne and Rapport, neither
did any one send him to town as their
agent to dispose of the cow at the cut
rate price of So.
Howard, as was brought out by the
testimony, stole the cow from the pas
ture of a negro named Willis P. Patter-
son. who lives about three miles out on
the Jackson's Ferry road, and Jed her
through the streets of Montgomery try
ing to find a purchaser.
The money asked for the COW by How
ard was so out of harmony with the
regular price of beef that the attention
of two officers of the police department
was attracted
The negro was arrested and the cow
sent to Mr.. Strother's stock yard on the
Lower Wetumpka road to await devel-
opments.
The negro, VILLAS P. Patterson, finding
that his COW was missing. suspected she
had been stolen, came to the city and re-
ported the matter to the police authori-
ties.
Patterson was told that the police had
a negro in their custody whom they
thought to be a COW thief and that the
cow which they thought had been stolen
was in Mr.. Strother's stock yard.
Upon going to the stock yard. Patter'
son Identified the cow as his own.
This was the missing link in the evi.
dence that confirmed the suspicious OF
the police officers.
Patterson had a warrant sworn out
against Howard. charging him with grand
larceny.
The trial came of yesterday afternoon.
Howard plead guilty and Judge AIRING
ton bound him over under a $500 bond

Tip to Reporters.

He told the newspaper reporters present
perntendent of Education and print them
if they wanted to be fair.
The Birmingham candidate dwelt some
more upon the idea that the working
men are backing his campaign. He said
he understood that eighty members of the
Beauvoir Club of Montgomery had been
polled and but one of them was for him.
He thought If the m echanics and work
ingmen of Alabama were polled. more
than one in eigcty would be Johnston
men.
In conclusion the former Governor,
with the utmost self-possession assured
the men in the audience that when they
heard from the hills and valleys of North
Alabama, from the great city of Mobile
and from the black belt counties on An
gust 8 they would find that the people
had expressed their will and the result
will be highly satisfactory to me-
The Ex-Governor concluded his speech
at 1920 o'clock and the conclusion was
the signal for the meeting to break up.
There was some applause as the crowd
was leaving the theatre.
One enthusiastic citizen cried: Three
cheers for Johnston" but the audience
was apparently eager for the cool air in
the street and did not respond.
Ex-Governor Johnston will return to
Birmingham this morning Mr.. Waller
will go to Mobile where he is billed to
speak tonight
