portion near the track were under water
from three to ten feet deep. Another
rise is expected to reach here tonight

of the town will then be submerged.
The people living in the exposed por-

to secure place of safety.
No lives have been reported lost, but
several narrow escapes are reported.
At present it is impossible to estimate
the damage, but 1t will be enormous
with the railroad company as the heav-
lest loser. The track for several miles
is washed away and 1t will probably be
ten days before a train can get through
to the west. No train from the east has
arrived since yesterday. 1t was thirty
hours late, and no attempt was made to
run 1t further west The water bound
passengers are being taken care of by

BEATEN BECAUSE
HE WAS EARNEST

MENT PROSECUTED BY BROTH
ER OFFICERS FOR SOLE REASON
THAT HE WAS POPULAR.

London, July 24.-Details of the remark
able case of persecution by brother off,
GERS of young lieutenant of the Second
Life Guards at Windsor, a regiment of
which King Edward is colonel-in-c chief,
the officers are intolerant of the pres
ence of any one who takes his profession
seriously.
Second Lieutenant c. d. Gregson, who
secured commission on February Is,
1902, was known to be a hard worker,
efficient and popular with his men. On
Monday night a number of the officers of
the regiment chased Lieutenant Gregson
out of his quarters, hunted him through
the barracks with whips, at the same
time using foul language, ducked him
in horse trough until he was half dead
and subsequently wrecked his quarters
and destroyed his entire kit. The victim
was forced to spend the remainder of
the night on the bare floor of his room
wrapped in an overcoat. The only expla-
nation for this treatment is that Lieu
tenant Gregson was socially undesirable.
There is no question In view of the lieu
tenants record and the kings connection
with the regiment that his majesty will
order a strict investigation into the oc-
currence.
