cluded in Rock Island Deal.

Concerning the negotiations and
pending deal between the Union

Rock Island, whereby the latter
purchases part or the whole of
some of the formers Texas lines,
the New York Herald has the fol-
lowing;
"Details of the Rock Island

two systems is of much greater i'm
portance than was at first believed,
1t has now developed that the Rock
Island has purchased from the
Southern Pacific half interest in
all the north and south roads IN
Texas, thus reaching the salt water
at Galveston and Sabine, besides
entering the famous Beaumont dis
trict. The purchase involves a half
interest in 1915 miles Of railroad aud
forms most important alliance be-
tween the Southern Pacific and the
Rock Island, including the Union
/ Pacific through its ownership of
the Southern Pacific. The deal di-
rectly affects the traffic depart
ments Of both the Atchison and the
Gould roads.
"At meeting of the directors of
the Southern Pacific in this city a
few days ago the question of the
Rock Island alliance was considered
and after a full discussion the sale
of the north and south lines in
Texas was approved. The lines
which will hereafter be operated
jointly by the Rock Island and the
Southern Pacific are the following:

Young Oats Not Injured.

Alderman J. NJ. Lancaster, who
has the management of the Ferris
estate, said to a reporter this morn
ing that SO far as he had made OBJ
servations the young oats were not
injured by the freeze of last week
What few oats that had been sown
before the last RAIN were beginning
to come up before the snow, but
withstood the freeze safely. Mr. Ian
caster says the wheat crop is in ex-
eellent condition and the indications
are favorable for a big yield. The
recent freeze has been very bene-
fetal to the plant, as its growth will
be somewhat retarded.

Boil Weevil Dead.

A farmer living in the vicinity of
Hutchins brought some bollweevils
into the city this morning which, he
stated, he had picked up from the
surface of the ground. They had
apparently died from the cold, and
all attempts to revive life in them
by placing them by fire proved
ineffective.
1t is the belief of great many
farmers that the cold, wet weather
now prevailing will kill large per
cent of the destructive little pests. 49,

Unsatisfactory Service.

Under the sche dule which went
into effect on the Central last Sun

Sunday for the purpose of improv-

TRINITY RIVER BOTTOMS
Three Hundred Lattle Said to
Have Been Drowned.

AS result of the recent rains
and snow the Trinity river over
flowed its banks and the bottoms in
the eastern part of the county are
completely submerged with water.
Many cattle were caught in the bots
toms by the rising water and not
less than three hundred are report
ed to have been either drowned or
frozen to death. Many of the cattle
rescued were so much chilled that
they died from freezing soon after
reaching land.
A party of five young men, Walter
and Abner kirkpatrick, Walter
HALEY, Clyde PRESLEY and Elton
Pyran went out i'm boat Wednes-
day night to rescue perishing cattle.
They lost their way and had to re-
main out on the water all night
To keep from freezing they piled
mud in the bottom Of their boat and
built up a fire on their craft.
