Kansas City, July S.-Swollen by
unprecedented rains and by melted
SHOWS from the mountains, brought
down through the Missouri valley, the
rivers have left their banks and
caused damaging floods in many parts
Of Missouri and Kansas.
The results of the flood up to a late
hour last night were as follows:
Train No. 5, Of the Santa Fe rail
way, which left Kansas City at 9:25
a. m. for Denver, net with a wreck at
Pomona, Kan. OF the 10 coaches
which made up the train, four, a bag
gage car and three day coaches, left
the track and rolled into IS feet of
water, according to a late report. The
roadbed was covered with water and
the train was proceeding slowly when
the tracks spread and overturned the
coaches. The coaches are supposed to
have been empty.
Communication with the town was
interrupted. Although railway officials
denied that any one was killed or in
jured, a telephone message last night
reported two people injured. They
are:
Two Injured, One Dead.
Laura st. Clair, Boston, back
wrenched and right arm wrenched at
shoulder.
Mamie st. Clair, Boston, minor
bruises and cuts.
The st. Clair women are sisters en-
route to Berry, Okla. Miss Mamie ST.
Clair is an elderly and it was
while trying to assist her the other
woman was hurt.
A telephone message from Pomona,
Kan, shortly before midnight, said the
wreck of the train in the food there
yesterday resulted in one death, the
4-year-old daughter of Mrs. Carrie
Rose, of Chicago, being drowned.
1t appears that the train which had
been detoured from the main line over
The Emporia branch, was running
along smoothly through the water,
when it began to sink on the under
mined tracks.
The coaches sank so gradually that
the passengers and crew were able to-
get into the Pullman cars before the
other coaches finally toppled over and
sank from view.

creditably. In the spelling contest
Miss Susie Adams was among those
ranking second; in the half-mile
race Master Sam Hazlip timed 2:35,
as against 2:19.5, made by the win
ner. The basket ball team met
with disappointment due to some
misunderstanding, and was match

played. Altogether the attendants

was brought to Baton Rouge from
De Soto parish by Sheriff C. w.
Smith, and the sheriff had to
hustle, after putting the negro in
the prison, to get the commitment
papers aud the release papers
signed within an hours time. BY
the time the sheriff had been re-.
lieved of his charge and had gotten
to the Office of the board of con.
troll and back to the prison again
his term was up. Williams made
more money during that one
hours service in the penitentiary
than he ever made in his life
considerably more than any Offic-
ial of the board of control makes.
For his one hours sentence, after
he was released, he was given S.
in money, presented with a new
suit of clothes and pair of shoes.
The law provides that every con-
Wet released from the penitentiary
shall be presented with S. in
money, q suit of clothes and
a pair of shoes. 1t cost, per-
haps, SIS or 500 to transport
the negro from De Soto to

Wet went back to De Soto OH the
