FLOODS LOUISIANA PARISH
Conditions Grow Worse at Lake charIes-No News From Sufferers. Several Railroad Bridges
 Are Washed Away.

Llano, Tex, May S1.--One of the worst hailstorms that ever visited this sec ton of Texas prevailed in the southwest ern portion of this county at House mountain last night, and it was of such violence that wire fences were torn down and large number of cattle, sheep hogs and chickens killed, roofs torn off and trees stripped of every leaf and small limbs. The storm lasted for more than an hour. The visited area is one of the most fertile valleys of the county, and 10000 acres of growing crops were com pletely ruined. Hundreds of pecan trees laden with fruit are ruined. This morn- ing at o'clock the ice was more than a foot deep over the stricken district. After the hail, a most violent rain en- sued, entailing farther losses. Hickory creek rose thirty feet within an hour, ten feet higher than was ever before known.

Lake Charles. La, May 31.-There was no communication with Cameron parish today, which was reported last night as largely under water from floods caused by rain and gulf tides. It Is feared great damage has been done there.
 About Lake Charles conditions are worse than they were last night, the Caleasieu river having risen two feet since then. All saw mills have been forced to close.
 Late tonight no advice had arrived from the flooded parish of Cameron and since there are no telegraph or telephone facili- ties in Cameron the earliest news expect ed is when a steamer comes in tomorrolI. A brisk north wind has stopped the inflow of gulf water and probably will materially relieve the flood sufferers.
 At this city conditions are growing worse with the Calcasieu river still rising. A few inches higher and the overflow will extinguish the fires of the city's light ing plant water works and ice plant. Between here and DeQuincy, La. about 2O00 feet of the Kansas City Southern's S trac kare under water. The water is over the rails of the Houston river bridge.

Famous as Toledo Blades

DRICE'S bowie knives then became as famous
+ on the Pacific Coast as Toledo blades were
in Spain. No man could be considered well
heeled" without one. Marion Moore, a noted
mining and sporting man, ordered the best
knife that Price could make. He gave the
latter gold brick and piece of gold quartz,
and told him to work the metal in. Price
made an eight-inch bowie, with gold handle
inlaid with quartz. Moore paid one hundred
and seventy-five dollars for the weapon, and
in addition handed back to Price the gold that
was left over. At the same time Moore's law
yer, McCabe, secured gold mounted knife
for one hundred dollars.
In 1861 Price made two knives for Colonel
Jack Gamble, who supplied Mexican gold
onzas for the handle frames. The handles
were inlaid with abalone shell and gold quartz.
The Colonel paid four hundred dollars for
them.
The first big knives made by Price were for
a party of United States surveyors, who wanted
them as substitutes for axes in cutting trails
through the brush. The blades were twelve
inches long and exceedingly heavy, and could
cut off mans head at a blow.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1907-03-10
The Bowie Knife

"HAT formidable weapon known as the
bowie knife is attributed to the inventive
ness of Colonel James Bowie, a famous
frontiersman, who was born in Logan County,
Kentucky, in 1896. He took an active part in
the revolution of $4,000, and was killed in
the Battle of the Alamo.
Some of the most famous bowie knives were
made in San Francisco by Martin Price. His
first attempt was exhibited in 1883 in the first
Mechanics Fair held in that city. After
the fair Ward Eaton took the knife to the
Bank Exchange and ratified it off for one hun
dred and fifty dollars. Up to that time the
most famous knives on the coast had been
made by Billy Allison of Yolo. Surveyor Gen
eral Higley possessed an Allison knife, which
he backed against the Price weapon Laying
a half-dollar on the counter, the General drove
his knife clear through the coin without turn
ing the point. Ward Immediately duplicated
the feat. Higley then tried two half-dollars,
but the point of his knife turned. Eaton piled
up three of the coins, and impaled them upon
his blade without turning the point.

The Crisis With the Chief

THEN rode forth to meet the painted yell
ing savages l waved my handkerchief,
indicating that | wanted a parley. The old
chief, who seemed to know that he had a
sure thing anyway, halted his band and came
forward with his four subchiefs. / made
my interpreter talk fast and explain to him
that l was an army officer under orders to
bring in those marauders. The old chief SIM
ply sneered.
Il jumped into the saddle, drew my sword,
and held it aloft. Instantly heard the rifles
back of me click into position. Then | said
You see the rifles aimed at you. If | wave
my sword my men will instantly kill you and
your subchefs. You and your subchiefs must
Immediately walk inside of my hollow square
They did SO, and l made them drop the
guns they had hidden under their blankets.
Then, under my orders, the old chief sent out
orders for the delivery of the marauders. The
Indians were amazed, but obeyed orders 1t
took seven days hard marching to get back to
the fort; but we brought in the savages, and
eleven hundred Indians came along with us
Then big barbecue was given to the old
chief and his followers. They were also g ven
presents to show them that we were dealing
out justice and kindness, and not revenge; and
we never had any trouble with those Apaches
afterward."

An Indian Adventure
W. F. SANDERS of Mon

EX-SENATOR w. F. SANDERS of Mon
IL tana who is famous as a frontiersman, de-
lights in telling of the bravery and excit-
ing experiences of his friend, the late Senator
Shoup of Idaho. He quotes the latter as fol-
lows in narrating one of his most daring adj
ventures:
" 1t had been reported to the fort that three
emigrant wagons had been waylaid on the
C1marron River, their camp destroyed, their
wagons burned, the men killed. and women
made prisoners. l was detailed to bring in
the marauders l was given ffty-eight picked
men and sergeant of experience. On the
morning of the sixth day out, as we came over
the brow of hill, we saw before us an Apache
camp of about fifteen hundred.
Immediately we saw the Indian runners
mounting and rushing off over the prairies to
call in their braves. l led my command to the
highest hill on the plateau, and formed a
hollow square. Upward of four hundred well
mounted Apaches came charging down upon
u.s. bowling like demons. / then told the men
that if l could get parley with the head chief
the men were to stand immovable until |
raised my sword At that signal every rifle
was to be leveed at the chief, and that #
waved my sword, to begin firing, every man
making sure aim so that the old chief and all
of the subchefs would be killed instantly.
