"Chamberlain's Pain Balm is con
sidered the best liniment on the mar
ket," write Post & Bliss, of Georgia,
Vt. No other liniment will heal a
cut or bruise so promptly. mo other
affords such quick relief from rheu-
matte pains No other is so valuable
for deep seated pains like lame back
and pains in the chest. Give this
liniment trial and you will never
wish to be without it. Sold by all
druggists.

veral hundred feet of the embank

along the Hondo just south of the
fair grounds The work of stopping
this big gap while the water was
madly rushing through it was no
small task. The work was put under
the supervision of w. R. Slinkard
who has had much experience in this
kind of work, and with a force of
forty men they worked the greater
part of Saturday and up to midnight
Saturday night. Gunny sacks were
filled with dirt and packed one upon
another until the required height
was reached. More than two thous-
and gunny sacks were used in the
work

ability the dam Is safe.
The Record has been unable 10,

Crude carbolic acid is being thrown

City Engineer Dills was seen this
afternoon, and was of the opinion
that $1,000 would cover the entire
damage to the streets, alleys and
crossings. Many people are of the
opinion that the damage will be
greater than this. The crossing at the |
corner of Main and First streets pro
we'd to be the best in the city. 1t was |
not damaged in the least nor moved. |

Saturday afternoon at about three
O'Clock reports were circulated over
the city and were given credence to
by many which caused many people
to leave their homes and spend the
night on the hills. The reports were
that the Diamond A ranch house
had been swept away and such a rise
of water was coming that would
sweep much of Roswell away. Many
people believed the reports, and pro-
badly more than a hundred families
in different parts of town left Their
homes Saturday evening and went up
on Military Hill The exodus was IN
deed alarming. There was hardly a
person who lived on Military Heights
but had his house crowded with
guests for the night.
Later in the evening the city auth
critics sent a runner out towards the
Diamond ranch, and on his return
the reports were found to be entirely
false, as for twelve hours previous
the water had been falling instead of
rising Although it was after dark
when the runner returned the true
condition of affairs was telephoncd
over town as rapidly as possible. il
is needless to say that at such a time
as Saturday a person who wOuiI
start such a false report as that
which was started Saturday after
noon should be dealt with severely.
The fright that was caused to women
and children and the inconvenience
to hundreds who believed the
report were no small matter.
The people, however, who read The |
Record Saturday afternoon and nad |
confidence in its reports were saved |
all unnecessary fright. A newspaper
has better opportunities of finding
out true conditions. and is less liza
Bile to be imposed on by false reports |

Harry Jaffa at Lincoln was received, |
The Record believed that there was |

Immediately issued an extra" giving |
the information that it was in posses

noon The Record held back its pa

ports that were in circulation could |
be investigated. This investigation |
was made most carefully. Five differ
ent men were interviewed who chat /

tains and by the Diamond A ranch. |
All their stories agreed. but they |
did not agree with the wild rumor |

The flood is over. As usual the
damages are not nearly SO great as
was first supposed. 1t did not reach
the proportions that would entitle it
to be called either disaster or calami-
ty. The town was water swept, with
the property loss that is given below.
pleasant reminder that the town must
take certain precautions in the fu-
ture and that although this is an ard
country we have plenty of water at
times to fill all the reservoirs the gov
eminent may build.
Following is partial list of the
damages from the flood. 1t is im9o3-
sible to estimate the correct amount
of damage at this time, and it may
be greater or smaller in many cases
than estimated.
