THOUSANDS ARE HOMELESS
Survivors Are Being Fed by Author

Have Been Recoyered-lhe
Danger Now Over

Monterey, Mexico, Aug. 3O.-At
noon yesterday it stopped raining
! for the first time since last Thursday
lafternoou, and some idea Of the nor
rors Of tho Flood Friday night and
Saturday could be obtained
1t was at first reported that 500
lives were lost in the disaster, but
she number of dead will reach 1900
land perhaps more.
! The river has fallen considerably,
and while still high, the danger is
| now over Seventeen and a half in
| ches Of rainfall is the official record
| during Friday, Saturday and Sun
iday, This rain vas steady down
pour and at no time approached the
status of a cloudburst
The river was higher than it has
! ever been in the history of Monterey
and at one time the Plaza Iaragosa,
| the highest part in the city was flood
/ ed TO a depth Of about one foot.
This was early Saturday morning
fand only lasted until the approach
on the south side of the San Luisito
bridge was washed out.
| Fully $4,000 people are homeless
as a result Of the flood and are be-
ing cared for by the city govern
ment in the best way possible. At
noon yesterday 5000 people were
given bread, coffee and soup at the
municipal offices, but there are
many more on the south side of the
river out of reach of aid on account
of the still overflowed river,
Conservative estimates of the
property loss place the figures at
$50, 100000 throughout the city
All through the day and up to late
last night bodies have been taken
from the debris and ruins in the
path OF the flood and over 800 have
been recovered.
The greatest loss of life occurred
lyrsterday morning between 9 and
.lt1 O'Clock, when the large huil3in IS
ion the south side of the river com
menced TO crumble and fall. Many
of the houses held from 20 to 100
people on their roofs, and all disap-
peared in the flood

the current of the Santa Catarina
which was half a mile wide ant
l flowing at the rate of at least twen
VIty miles an hour. Watchers say
buildings loaded with people col

i water.
1t was a sight never to be forgot
ten, and there is hardly an estab
tlishment in the city that has no
some story of the loss of employees
The Electric Light and Power CON
4 pany had forty-five men employe
as linemen and of this total only re
reported for work this morning.

Cured to Charley Pryor, son of

ployees of the railroad. he was
going into Ortonville on S rail-
road velocipede, and when near
the town were struck by a gravel
train, which backed down upon
thera without showing any tail
lights. The others escaped with
out injury beyond a few slight
bruises, but Mr.. Pryor was
hurled to the top of a gravel car
and sustained a serious fracture
in one of his legs; the limb being
broken in two places. He was
removed to the hospital in Orton-
vile and his parents in this city
notified Of the catastrophe His
father Immediately left for Orion
vile, where, after a consultation

cided to leave him. Latest re-

The Perkins Case Again
arvest OF II Prolific Field

The Perkins case, like Banquo's
ghost, will not down, but when
you get it settled or think you do
it obs up serenely and occupies
the lime light of publicity on the
stage at action. 1t will be re-
membered that some time ago
Judge Crowfoot, as referee. gave
"a decision in favor of Mr.. Perkins
and in favor of the county COM
missioners who allowed the bill
five years ago, and in line with
the opinion of the attorney gen.
eral and the findings of the pub
lie examiner. Now comes the
county commissioners and ask
the Judge to disapprove the re-
port Of the referee, and Judge
McNulty, being disqualified by
reason Of being an attorney in
in the case at its inception, has
appointed Judge Bottom, of
Faulkton to hear the matter.
States Attorney Batterton, who
was Perkins attorney in the case
was also disqualified aud the
county will be represented in the
matter by Attorneys Darlington
and Pearson. These gentlemen,
together with Judge Batterton,
went down to Faulkton Wednes-
day.

Maldaner Souvenir Day.

Maldaner's souvenir day was a
gigantic success and the crowds
that swarmed his store all day
gave a good imitation of a board
walk on a busy day and everyone
got a present and everyone was
satisfied and Frank says if he
could keep a crowd like that in
his store every day, he would
make a noise like a roll of green
backs and a mint working over
time. Schreiner was the lucky
man and as he watches the big
engine in the mill, he sits there
smoking ten cent Tom Moore
cigars as a result of his luck ir
drawing. Mrs. Mccormick wor
the bottle of perfumery.
