Tonight the number OF bodies recover
ed from along the shores of the Santa

total approximately 1000. In Mon
terery 500 is the total, while meagre
reports from along the valley increase
the number
Brt little is yet known as to the
lcs of life and damage outside OF this
csy.> That the entire number lost
win ever be known is probable, as
many bodies must be buried in the
sands and mud deposited by the fall
ing river in the eddies caused by the
numerous turns and bends in the
streams channel.
II is known that the village of San
Francisco, was entirely destroyed;
the town of San Juan. badly damaged.
and the town of Camargo on the Rio

pietely washed away.
Bodies in Every Hole.

covered at that place; that hundreds
were seen floating by tand that on his
trip from Cadereta to Monterey that
there was not depression in the
ground which did not contain one to
ten bodies left there by the receding
flood
A complete list of the dead is un-
cbtainable. but no Americans or other
foreigners were lost, as none of them
resided in the flooded district
The entire northern part Of the
state of Neuve Leon has been flood

Relief Money Pouring In.
Relief in the shape of money has
been pouring in from all sources to-
day and large amounts have been re-
ceoved from the United States.
Clothes, food supplies and money
are needed to care for the homeless
and restitutes. The response has been
large, but uses for the money will be
found and more especially, when the
full reports from down the valley are
learned.
Temporary shelters are being erect
ed for the sufferers and all are be-
ing taken care of with the best OF
the means at hand.
Water Famine Danger Removed.
The waterworks company was able
to get a supply OF water in the city
main today from what is known as
the low pressure service which here
tofore had not been in operation, SO
that the danger of a water famine
has been removed. The food supply
continues short but there has been
no increase in the price Of anything
NEEDED for the people.
The property LOGS is now estimated
at between s12,000,OO0 and s15.0Oe.-

Dobblns was too Boastful.

John r. Dobbins, the Princeton gam
bier who is accused of beating T. W..
Ballew, the millionaire lumberman OF
Princeton, out of 100000 on a fake
horse race at Council Bluffs, will be
tried at Council Bluffs May 10th.
Among the witnesses in the case will
be Lew H. Young, the we'll known
travelingman of Ottumwa, who visits
this city frequently.
In speaking of the approaching trial
Of Dobbins at Council Bluffs May 10th,
the Nonpariel says:
"ln addition to the names of the wit
nesses, the notices states in substance
what the state expects them to testify
to. Lew H. Young, of Ottumwa, T. ".
Young, of Princeton, Mo-. and 4. r..
Casteel, of Princeton, Mo-, are the wit
nesses.
slew H. Young, a travelling salesman
residing at Ottumwa, Iowa, it is stated,
will testify that he met Dobbins on a
passenger train about October 5, 1908,
and that at that time Dobbins told him
he had just cleaned up $500 on deal
he had pulled off in Council Bluffs. He
says that Dobbins had with him large
amount of money, which he says was a
part of his haul Dobbins left the
train, Young says, at Charlton, where
he said he was going to use $500 Of he
money to redeem diamond he had
pawned there.
"T. V. Young, real estate dealer of
Princeton. Mo-, will testify, it is stated,
that he met Dobbins in Kansas City in
the month of September, 1908, and that
Dobbins told him he was working for a
store in Council Bluffs, the business of
which consisted in getting men to bet
large sums of money in such way that
they would have no chance to win; that
the store had many workers; that it was
the part of these workers, of whom Dob
bins was one, to bring in the victims
and that for this work the workers got
share of the rake off, Young will
testify, it is stated, that Dobbins said
the deal was so carried out that the
man who was worked was into it as
deep as the fellows who did the work
ing, and could not make any trouble.
'E. r. Casteel, merchant of Prince
ton, Mo-, testifies that he had CONVEX
sation with Dobbins about October l.,
1908, in which Dobbins said that he had
a proposition by which he could make
lots of money on fake horse races if he
could find the right man with good
bank account. He said the races were
so conducted that here was no chance
for the victim to win"
