FLOOD DESTROYS
MEXICAN TOWN
Half Of Inhabitants Lose Their
Houses in the Swollen
MANY LEFT DESTITUTE
Unlike the Recent Great Disaster at
Monterey, No Loss OF Lille Re
ported-Houses Crumbled
to Pieces.

Laredo, Texas, Sept. 3.-Word
was received by the mayor of Nuevo
Laredo, Mexico, last night from Car
margo, Mexico, situated 125 miles
from this city on the lower Rio
Grande, stating that as result OF
the flood of the San Juan river, due
10 the recent heavy rains and the
overflow from the Santa .Catarina
river. which is, a tributary of the
San Juan, half the city has been
washed away and there is great suf-
fering among the poor MeXicans. The
telegram states that full 200 indig-
ent Mexican families are homeless
and badly in need of food supplies.
There is no mention made of any
loss of life so it is assumed that un-
like the flood at Monterey which
claimed such a large number of vic
tins, the inhabitants of Carmargo
had ample warning of the rise of the
river and were enabled to escape to
high ground and save themselves,
For the greater part, the town of
| tCarmargo, which is located on the
Matamoras branch of the National
railway, consists of an aggregation
| of small adobe houses. These sue
cumbed to the violent waters of
San Jnan river and crumbled to
pieces without giving their inhabi-
tants any opportunity to save their
| chattels. Carmargo is a town of APP
proximately 1000 inhabitants and
! is situated about three miles inland,
almost directly opposite the town OF
| Rio Grande City on the Rio Grande
| The San Juan river runs through
| the low-lying part of the town and
| is subject to overflow. 1t was in
| this section that the damage occur
| red 1t is impossible to estimate the
financial loss, but it will be moth
ing as compared with the deprivation
and sufferings of the homeless fam
lilies.

UNITED STATES
OWNS THE POLE
Governments Title Is Based on
Discovery by DR.. Cook,
American.
NO CONTEST IS EXPECTED
Prot. Moore Of Weather Bureau Be-
lieves Polar Region viii Be Made
Summer Resort by Airshsps.
Question Of jurisdiction

Washington, Sept 3.-The United
States owns the North Pole. There
is no question that It's discovery by
a citizen of this government carries
title. International lawyers and Of
ficials of the government say there
is no better title than that of discov-
cry From the beginning of history
original title passed to the discov-
erers of land.
Government officials advance the
opinion that the probability of land
under the snow cap at the pole would
give good grounds for the claim of
sovereignty should any nation dis
pute title.
No serious question OF ownership
Of the North Pole is anticipated in
government circles because no ma
terial value attaches to ownership Of
a spot upon the earth's surface so
far removed from civilization as to
be beyond the reach of man.
In the days in the future when,
according TO Prof. Willis L. Moore,
chief of the weather bureau, the po-
lar region will be converted into a
summer resort by airship, then
some enterprising citizen may bid
for patronage by erecting at the
biographies North Pole hotel
Until some such attempt is made
question of sovereignty is not likely
TO be raised.

Des Moines, May 4.-Before 5000 peo-
pie, the largest crowd that ever attend
ed wrestling match in Iowa, Frank
Gotch worlds champion heavyweight
grappler, last night defeated Jess Rel
mer of Des Moines in two straight falls,
1Sa4 and Is minutes, respectively.
The first fall was conceded after
Gotch had almost broken his leg with
a wicked toe hold. Reimer twice sue
ceeded in breaking the hold but failed
at the third attempt.
The second fall came after some spec
tacular sparring in which Reimer sue
ceeded in staying behind Gotch half the
time and breaking six different holds.
The house went wild when Reimer got
the champion into several dangerous
holes, but Gotch broke them at will.
Finally Gotch worked Reimer into a
body and head hold and slowly crushed
his man to the mat.
Arrangements were made after the
match for a finish bout between DR..

NOTES OF THE GAME.

Fenlon is putting up a good game in
left field. He certainly stings the bali
hard, and although not graceful
fielder he gets the ball, and that is
the one important element of the
game.
The little Swede did not get a very
good start, but he will make it all
right yet. Olson is in lot better con-
dition than he was last season.
Ducky Holmes has a bad hand, the
result of an accident in Wichita. For
that reason the little manager did not
get in the performance yesterday.
Holmes was prepared to stop the
Cooleyites anytime they sprung a baS
ting rally. Alderman, From and EeHs
were kept warmed up on the sidelines.
Kerns' work behind the bat was one
of the features of the game. Butch"
put lot of ginger in his work, and it
was sometimes impossible to hear the
slow grinding voice of the umpire,
while Butch ratified his vocal chords.
Buck Freeman was here one time
with the Chicago White Sox. and
pitched seven innings against the To-
Gals allowing only two hits. He was
with Minneapolis in 1907.
Olson made one great stop off Sto-
vail in the fourth inning. Stovall hit a
fast one just to the right of second
base Olson made a one hand stab for
the ball, and although he fell down he
beat the runner to second and stopped
one run in its incubation.
Wooley pulled down couple of
good ones in center field. The slightly
built one is doing some great fielding
but his arm is not yet tuned properly
for throws to the plate. Lige shoots
them too much to the right.
Kerns was the candy kid with the
stick. A single and a double out Of
three times up is his record for the
day. The other time up he hit one
which Campbell pulled down just be-
fore it reached the fence.
The Des MONIES Boosters tomorrow.
! Andrews failed to get his custom
airy hit yesterday but he ate up the
third base job. His fielding of a hunt
with his bare hand was a feature.
