TEN MAY BE DEAD.
Captain Bettison and Guests at Pier
Lost In the Storm.

Galveston, Texas, July 21.-The
tugboat Clark and the pilot boat Tex
as, which this afternoon after the
storm had abated made a second trip
to the vicinity of the Tarpon Fishing
Pier in the hope of rescuing the per-
sons confined there by the storm
brought back the news that the storm
had claimed human life among its
tolls, Captain R. L. Bettison, man
ager and owner of the pier, and Mrs.
Bettison, besides eight or ten others,
employees of the place and visitors to
the resort.
1t is impossible to get an accurate
list of the lost, but the best informa-
ton obtainable is that the dead are:
Captain and Mrs. Bettison; Edward
Legles bartender; C. H. Daily, circu-
lation manager of the Galveston Tri-
bune, formerly of Chicago; Charles
Johnson and wife, negroes, of Hous-
ton; c. D. Hopkins, negro, of Gal
weston; John Forrest, negro, of Gal
weston. In addition to this, employees
of the pier located at this end claim
that there were two negro boys en-
ployed as walters, whose names are
not known, having only recently
taken employment at the pier.
Mr.. Daily was a guest of the pier,
and it is also stated that a young
man named Teetshorn of Houston,
son of NJ E. Teetshorn, a book dealer,
was also among the guests. This re-
port could not be confirmed, however.
Parties in Galveston set for a hope,
but a faint one, that it may be pos
sible that all or part of the people
on the pier might have secured
wreckage from the pier and floated
to the Bolivar shore.
In view of this hope, the launch
Clifton, owned by Captain Bettison,
made the trip to Bolivar this evening,
returning shortly after Z o'clock with
the report that no trace of the par
ties lost has been found.
Last night a party of seventeen
couples made the trip to Tarpon pier
to enjoy a dance, the boat returning
at II o'clock and bringing with them
several of the guests, who had in
tended remaining all night. This
morning when it was seen that the
storm was gaining force, Captain
Morrell of the Clifton and Local
Agent Paul Tibbits endeavored to Sc
cure a large tug to go out to the res
cue of the party, but were unable to
do so until nearly noon, when they
secured the Texas.

Houston, Texas, July 22.-Reports
coming in today from numerous bay
side towns indicate that the damage
to them was much more serious than
in Galveston. Bay City was almost
swept away and two people were
killed. Relief trains have been sent
from this city to look after the in
jured and to carry supplies to the
homeless. AngIeton, Brazoria, Rock
port, Eagle Lake and other neighbor-
ing points report serious damage. Pa
lacios is reported practically demoI-
ished, but wire service from there
is badly crippled and the details of
the storm there are meagre. The
Baptist Young Peoples Union of the
state is in session at PaIacos, and
hundreds of people were there from
all parts of the state. The reports so
far have brought no news of loss of
life.

THE GALVESTON STORM.
Later Particulars of the Blow at GAL
veston-SeawaIl Holds.

Galveston, Texas, July 21.-The
scene tonight along the beach is a
most remarkable one, the entire bou-
levard being strewn with the wreck
age of the two bath houses and the
two fishing piers ten feet in height,
entirely blocking the highway. The
railing along the seawall was torn
away for almost its entire distance
and intermingled with the wreckage
is number of logs and pieces of
driftwood, some of the logs and
stumps weighing as much as three
tons.
All that remains of the Breakers
pier is the foundation piling, and of
Murdock's all that is left is one or
two bent and twisted pieces of the
foundation.
That the seawall withstood the
pounding of this battery of heavy
timber is another remarkable tribute
to its worthiness.
While no reports were received
this evening at the weather bureau,
owing to wire trouble, DR.. Bunne-
meyer states that the storm has gone
inland between Galveston and Cor
pus Christi, moving northward, but
would probably recurve to the east,
passing over the central portion of
the state The barometer is still ris-
ing and the wind rapidly decreasing.
As soon as the storm abated suffi-
GENTLY the Santa Fe put several spec
ial crews of men at work on the
bridge, who are working all night. Of
ficials in charge announced that re-
pairs would all be made within few
hours and that trains would be run
ming on regular schedule by tomor-
row morning. Examination showed
that two of the bents were badly
sprung owing to their being hit by
the drifting barge.
