George Erwin and two women, are safe in the jail at Charlotte, and there is no dan ger of violence to them. The special term of court which convened to try the victims of mob vengeance acting under orders from the Governor. will not adjourn until every effort to con vict the leaders of the mob has been exhausted.
 The case Is being worked ID and many arrests are expected tomoxrow. The Governor ie determined to puHh tho matter to the bitter end. The cases against the surviving defendants. against whom true bills were found. were continued until the regular term of Rowan court.

Six Miles of the Track of the santa IT. Washed Away--TorrentiaI Down-reur in West Central <
 Texas.

Fort Worth. Tex, Aug, 7--Accerd- ing to advices receiveds here. West Central Texas has been visited by torrentiai rains. considerable damsge done 10 growing crops and railroad
 trafic badly crippled; however, no casualties. so far as known. have oc- cured and first reports sent out 1t is believed were greatly exaggerated. Trafic on the Lampas branch of ths Santa Fe System Is suspended beca1so of washouts. Several bridges were rendered unsafe but none was actually washed away.
 At Brownwood, Pecan Bayou. which flows into the Colorado river, rose so rapidly that some of tHe pef pie living in the IowIands had to nce for safety. There was several nA-row escapes but no casulties. About six miles of the track of the Santa Fe has been was1ed out.
 At Ballinger some damage was done and the Concho river rose to higher stage than for years.
 At San Angelo 1t was reported that q family Of five had perished but his was an error They escaped from their homes during the night In ad- vance of the flood and reached land safely.
 Almost DeluEe.
 At Denison. in the extreme northern edge of central portion of the state, the rains amounted almost to ae- luge
 An unprecedented rainfall through out portions of the Indian Territory in mthe vicinity of Francis on the line of the Frisco is reported to have oc- cured and also along the Canadian river more sudden rise of the river has never been known. The ap- breaches to the Frisco railway bridge have been washed away and the p1air structure one mile in length. is threat ened. The river has overflowed at some places and many farms are uneer water.
 Al Francis the river Is bank full and if an overflow should Oce1r great damage to crops will result The Frisco has hurried workmen to the danger point and passenger trains are aenk back from Francis and detoured over the Missouri, Kansas and Frisco railroads. The Missouri. Kansas and Texas is also threatened with serions trouble where the road crosses the Canadian river Thirty thoasand bags filled with sand was sent to this point.
 The high water situation there will develop probably tomorrow.
 At Tvroia, Indian Territory. on the Atoka- -oklahonsa City line, almost Q mile of track has been washed away. The bridge Is threatened but prob ably will be saved.
 Aramillo, Texas, in the Pan Handle. reports a severe electrical storm and has news that Canyon City, a small town, was wiped out by tornado and it killed several people. Wires are down in that direction and this report cannot be confirmed. At Aramiilo the family of a farmer named Riggs resid- ing four miles south of the town, were killed by lightning. It is impossible to get even an approximate estimate of the crop damage. but ith, is believed the loss will reach hundreds of thousands of dollars.

 In accepting the nomination Of Sem ator Mir Dubois said;
 T can say with perfect truth and sincerity that never in my life was so proud as am at this moment.

If the Re- publican Party continues to defend or condone 1t, # will so down to inevit- able defeat. It is even now up against it The Issue is squarely placed before you. Will you support the constitution of your state7 If SO. will you take not Mormon in the state who would subscribe to that oath. If they take it now they will not 5e good Mormons. hope the enactment of such a statute as we contemplate will make them leave the church or force the church to cease interference with politics and desist from the practice of poiygamy.
 If, as they say. there is no poiyg- amy, the answer is simple. They need not hesitate to subscribe to the test oath. But what they fear most of all Is the law permitting the change of venue In prosecuting them and the law against unlawful cohabitation. Polyg- amy Is the one institution that cements them together.
