Mexico City, Sept. IA eonserva-

S~12,ooo,000. The river has gone down

municiple authorities, and the Ameri-
can consulate Is giving food to all who
apply.
Adobe Houses Fall.
Thousands of persons have taken

life from this cause
The railroad situation is deplorable.
On the branch of the International, be-
tween Monterey and Tampico, there
are a score of washouts. The iron
bridge at San Juan has gone and 70
miles Of the track of the Matamoras
branch have been washed out. There
are q dozen washouts between Mata-
moras and Cuevas, and the big iron
bridge over the Rinconaga, between
Saltillo and Monterey Is gone. The
total loss to the railroads probably will
exceed $780, 00.

Eighteen blocks of residences and
business house are washed away. The
more wealthy people of Monterey, to-
gether with the American residents are
contributing to the mayors fund, which
is being expended for food.
The greatest loss of life is said to
have been caused by the giving way Of
the reservoir dam. Monterey is stu
ated in a cup like valley and Is sur
rounded on three sides by steep noun
tains. The waters rushed into this VAL
ley down the bed of the Santa Catarina
river. This stream Is ordinarily $50

flood it's banks were fully three-quar-
tiers of a mile apart. . 1t Is estimated
that Is inches of rain fell.

with the organization of relief meas
ures. Benefit theatrical performances,
bull fights and fairs are being planned.

THEY THINK THEY HAVE
MURDERERS OF CLARK

The four men recently picked up in
Salt Lake City in connection with the
Pineree shoe store robbery in this city are
being daily put through the third de

quarters. under the belief that they were
identified with the murder of Deputy
Sheriff Clark at Uintah Dec. 2 last. 1t
has been established that the four men
are ex-cOnvicts and difficulty has been
encountered to break down their state
ments.
The men connected with the Clark muir
der had a short time prior to the murder
robbed a box car Of six cases Of shoes,
and it was this that led up to the muir
der. While the police are extremely quiet
about the examination Ecw going on, IL
is known that they are of the opinion the
men in custody are part of the gang who
figured in the murder. The fact that the
railroad and local officers who gave the
greatest amount of attention TO the muir
der mystery are now taxing d prominent
part in the examination of the alleged
shoe thieves is accepted as further proof
as to their conviction that the men under
arrest are connected with the murder

COAL PICKER IS
HELD Up HARD
Compelled by Railway Official
to Pay So for Sack

Alleging that he was acting under in

when he collected So from poor widow
who was picking coal along the Rio

ter Royal was locked up at police head

Gently came to Ogden from Helper. Utah,

company. H was adorned with a star OF
the Salt Lake City Rio Grande special
agent. When he found the woman with
about 10 cents worth of coal picked from

ed to collect the s., in return for which
he gave a receipt which read:
Received of.--.-..------..- three collars
(s3) for one sack of coal.
(SignedD ID. & r. c."
Royal did not fill in the blank space,
but left that for the woman to do. He
asserted that he was instructed to charge
the amount named for every sack of coal
in order that the practice of taking coal
from the companys property might be
held responsible for acting under in
structions. Accordingly the Salt Lake
City officials will be given an opportunity
TO give their version Of the affair when
the case is called in court.
When searched at the police station
Royal had more than $40 and a large au-
tomato revolver on his person. Later
Agent Cronin of the Rio Grande secured
the mans release. Mr.. Cronin said he
was skepticsl about the Salt Lake City
officials giving any such instructions.
