Little Girl Badly Hurt.

Yesterday morning while being
driven to Sunday school in the family
carriage, Marie, the little daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Leroy Trice, in some way
fell from the vehicle, and falling under
it, one of the wheels passed over her
arm before the driver could stop the
horses. The arm was broken and the
little girl received very serious
shock. She was at once carried to
her home, and medical attention Sc
cured. The wound is of course very
painful, but the friends of the family
hope no serious results will follow.

From the mesgre reports received it

SEEING THE BIG TRINITY OVERFLOW

In company with Mr.. w. r. Smith,
a Herald man had the pleasure yester-
day of visiting the Trinity river over
flow country, and seeing for himself
the extent of the rise and the posi-
bilities of damage done and to be done.
Mr.. Smith owns a ferry at Bonner's
crossing. has good ferry house and is
well fixed up for his business. He is
also an experinced boat man, and with
him we rode over miles and miles of
the overflow country. One mile this
side of the river we left the buggy and
getting in light skiff rowed right
down the road way, now water way,
in from one foot of water gradually
deepening toward the river to ten and
fifteen feet. The right of way fence
along the road was IN many places en-
tirely under water, and hundreds of
stately pecan trees that ordinarily
stand as giants of the forest, are now
submerged in water up to their branch
es. AS we approached the ferry house
the water Swallowed down again to
about three feet deep, and the house,
barns and a flourishing young corn
crop are all standing in three feet of
water. The steps to the house are
anchored down, the chicken houses
are chained to posts, the wagons are
chained down, the stock was all car
ried to the hills when the first rise
came, and some two or three hundred

LIGHTNING STRIKES RUFSMITH HOME

Last night during the heavy thunder
storm people living in the neighbor-
hood of Magnolia street and close in
were shocked with a clap of thunder
that sounded like cannon shot and
that Jared the earth. The flash of
lightning hit the top of the F. HUFF
smith home and sent a shower of
lightning and fire all over the house.
Mr.. Hufsmith says he was reading
newspaper at the tire and the shoetl
almost threw MIN out OF his char, and
the light was binding. He says he
expected to find the whole roof torn
off his house and hear an alarm of fire
turned in, but nothing developed, and

Ichickens on the place were carried to
the land line. The water is tapping
the fourth step of the house, but the
house is about seven feet from the
ground, so no danger is threatened to
the furnishings, etc. After landing at
the ferry house and resting for an hour
or more, and enjoying big dinner,
Mr.. Smith took us again, and this time
we went into the river, which flows
about thirty or forty feet from the
ferry house. The current was like
mill race and the river channel has
sixty five feet of water, which leads
to the suggestion that the Trinity at
this particular time is very navigable,
as the biggest vessels on the ocean on
ly draw about thirty five feet of water.
Crossing the main channel, we again
invaded the overflow territory, which
extends for full mile or more beyond
the river. At this crossing the over
flow country is only between two and
three miles wide, but in many places
up and down the river the water COW
ers territory FIVE and six miles wide,
and in many places whole black land
farms are under water, and the grow
ing crops are of course ruined. Thous-
ands of head of stock have been taken
ont of the overflow country, and the
range is ruined for several weeks. 1t
is worth any ones time and trouble to
go out and look at the big overflow.

the only sign of damage he could find
this morning was one of the cutters
down the side of the house was melted
slightly. Several gentlemen working
around the depot and railroad yards
say they saw the lightning when it
struck the house, and that sheet of
fire covered the whole building, look
