Thousands OF Acres Of Land De-

Hail and Flood
DAMAGE is HALF a MILLION
Stock Killed or Drowned and Buildings
Swept Away-one Man Loses s1o,ooos
Apple crop-severaI Narrow Escapes
From Death-creech Family. Ex-s
perience.
Special to Times-Republican.


Council Bluffs, July 11.-Late reports
Of the storm in Mills county show that
| conditions there now are as bad as
could be imagined, eighty Thousand
acres of land being stripped OF all vege-
tation with loss conservatively esti-
mated at half a million dollars.
Some Of the stories Of narrow es
capes from death are being told by
farmer and their families and almost
beyond belief. In some places the
fields are as bare as tho having been
plowed and cleaned OF all growing veg
citation. Corn that was three and fou;
feet high was literally driven into the
ground.
Horses and cattle in pastures were
frightened into frenzy and were either
killed or were injured so badly they
had to be dispatched. Hail several
feet deep in the draws is the statement
of men whose reliability is unques-
toned.
o. o. st. John, a travelling salesman
for a Council Bluffs house who lives
ten miles south Of Glenwood, says there
are number of families in his vicinity
that will require financial assistance
until another crop is harvested. The
loss there to stock was particularly
heavy and, dead animals are to be seen
by scores in the, draws where the..
were drowned or near barb wire fences
where they We're injured or killed.
Fruit Of all kinds was destroyed, a.
brother Of ST John losing $4,000 worth
of apples alone.
Many people had narrow escapes
from drowning or death by being hit
| by flying missiles. The most thrill
| ing escape is that told by Mr.. and
| Mrs. S. Creech, whose home Is, or
rather was, at the mouth of draw
seven miles from Glenwood. Mr.. and
| Mrs Creech and their four children,
when they saw the. torrent of water
tearing DOWN the draw decided to take
refuge in their cave which is on high
er ground.
Each taking two children they
started, Mrs. Creech having two babies
under her arms. The storm was at
the height Of its fury when they
started. Mr.. Creech and the two old
er children reached the case after q
hard struggle, but the wife and little
ones were carried by the waite. down
the draw, thru barb wire fence and
lodged, more dead than alive, against
second wire fence. Mrs Creech
heroically held to the fence in an en-
leavor to save the children. The old
er child was swept from her grasp ana
was almost drowned when the frantic
mother managed to regain hold OF It.
She then, after a fight against odds
that would have killed more heroic
woman, managed to regain sade
ground, where she fell exhausted and
is now in danger Of losing her life
from the numerous cuts and shock.
Many others tell stories OF betting
with the elements to save their lives
and the memory Of the storm VIII
never leave the people Of that com m7
munity.

"The Barber Asphale Company has

bid on these jobs just what they are

pendent companies and we are willins

Japan Discusses Fleet Movement.


Toxic. July 1.-THE n1assing of an
American fleet in the Pacific. about
which the American papers have ap-
piled to Marquis Ito for an opinion. is
semi officially discussed by 1to's ad-
ninistration paper today. The paper
says:
I'VE cannot help feeling some mis-
giving with regard to the significance
of the intended massing Of American
battleships In the Pacific, especially in
view of the grandiose announcement
attributed to President Roosevelt to
the effect that the navy would furnish
the world with a startling demonstra.
tion of Americas defensive capacity.
1T is difficult for us to accept the as
surance that the coming maneuvers Do
not possess any connection whatever
with the Japanese American situation.
We regret that Washington thinks it
necessary to take what resembles q
precautionary measure.
However, we are not disposed to at
tach serious Importance to this mat
ter and have no inclination to doubt
the presidents sincerity in assuring a
peaceful nature in the proposed maneu-
veres. Neither have we the slightest
doubt of the pacific and friendly sem
timents Of the American government.
The people toward whom Japan's
blame is probably due are irresponsi-
BILE sections Of both nations"
Ito declines a discussion regarding
the sensational agitation of the press.

war was: "There is no feeling in my
