5000 ARE HOMELESS
Torrential Rains Cause Record
Breaking Rise OF Trinity
River in Texas.
LOSS WILL BE VERY LARGE.
Portions Of Fort Worth and Dallas
Completely Inundated-Much
Distress Feared.

At least twenty-five persons are dead
and more than 5000 homeless as a re-
suit of he Trinity river flood, accord
ing to reports received at Fort Worth,
Tex. The damage mounts into the hun
dreds of thousands.
Following torrential rains the river
rose three inches above the record
breaking food OF 1883. Stock valued at
thousands of dollars. including $500
sheep penned up in the stock yards at
North Fort Worth, was washed down
stream and drowned. A dozen or more
persons are reported to have been
killed in Fort Worth in spite of efforts
to rescue those in peril. Rowboats from
Handley, White City and Lake Coamo,
hauled to the scene of overflows on
street cars, wagons and in patrol wag-
ons, figured prominently in the work of
rescue.
A woman, child and three men
were among the known victims of the
flood. The body of the woman fioated
past the foot Of East Fourth street and
caused panic among negro refugees.
A negro child was washed from its
mothers arms in the Rock Island yards.
An unknown white man was drowned
a mile from the long bridge His coat,
containing a note of farewell, was
found lodged in q treetop. A negro at
tempting to pilot two men in a buggy
through deep water opposite the city
park gate was thrown from his horse
and drowned. A German in North Fort
Worth was caught in the swift water
and drowned
Many persons are missing, and the
only the beginning of a long list of
deaths i'm the flood. Not until the wa
ter has receded will it be possible to
tell the exact loss in life and property.
Not vestige of the big wagon bridge
over the Trinity, near the steel foun-
dry, is visible. Piers, Orders and abut-
ments were swept down stream and for
time threatened the lives of thou
sands of sightseers congregated on the
City Park bridge and approaches. May
or w. d. Hart, of Fort WORTH issued
proclamation calling on the more for
tunate citizens to help the homeless.
The Salvation Army also cared Tor
many.
One man drowned in sight of many
people who were powerless to save him,
fifty families marooned in submerged

cars out of commission, two bridges de-

George A. Knight, the California ora
tor who seconded the nomination of Pres
ident Roosevelt in the last national con-
vention, expects to second the nomination
of Taft at Chicago this year.
The Minnesota Democratic State con-
vention instructed its delegates to Dem
yer to vote for John A. johnson for the
presidential nomination, and overwhelm-
ingly defeated a motion to name Bryan
as second choice.
1t has been openly admitted that prac-
tically all of the Republican leaders who
at first tried to organize a movement
against the candidacy of Secretary Taft
have now joined in the Taft procession.
Various motives are given, but the fact
is no longer questioned. This virtual
stampede is accompanied with some re-
newal Of the third term talk. since Utah
and Texas voiced the demand for Roose-
L.
the statement widely circulated that the
conservatives have accepted Taft in order
to prevent the possibility of convention
stampede for the President.
Chairman New of the Republican ma
tional committee, has announced that no

vention would be sent to any one by mail,

kept under lock and key until forty-eight
hours before the convention doors are
opened. and then they will be distributed
only in Chicago. Owing to the uncheck-
ed deluge of ticket demands Mr.. New
has decided that no season tickets will be
issued. To make them go as far as pos
sible, the tickets viii be issued BY ses-
sions.
The Bryan bureau has put forth the
claim to two-thirds Of the Democratic del

nominated a full State ticket, headed by
G. r.. Erskine Of Mitchell for Congress,

tial electors, is a full-blood Sioux Indian.
Fred b. Lynch Of St. Paul, manager
of the johnson presidential boom, has
been in Washington recently, and made
sufficient impression among the Bryan
men to arouse the ire OF the Ne5raskan's
leaders.
