Ten People Dead and Property

ENTIRE GULF COAST is SWEPT
SeawaIl Built After Former Devasta.
Saves City From Complete
Destruction.

Galveston, Tex, July pa hurri-
cane equalIng in violence the one that
devastated this city nine years ago,
swept in from the Gulf of Mexico yes
terday, did 500, 900 worth of damage
in the city proper, cost the lives of
about a dozen people, cut off all rail
and telegraphic communication with
the mainland and then swept on inland,
leaving wake of destruction and suf-
fering behind.
Owing solely to tn e warnings sent
out by the weather bureau that had
first detected the storm in the Carib-
bean sea, the shipping at the port
here escaped damage, all vessels being
made snug before the fury of the gale
struck. The 17-foot seawsll, built
two years after the former devastation
of the city, kept the huge waves from
eating away the land as they had done
before, but this wall was not sufficient
to keep the water from the lower
streets, from whence it poured into
the warehouse cellars, damaging thou.

Ten people were drowned in the
water that swept over a portion 81

city. They were washed from the
rock promentories into the gulf anc
the bodies have not yet been recovered.
During the height of the gale 9
heavy dredge which was at work ir
the channel behind the island, broke
from its mornings and was swept into
the steel railroad bridge that connects
Galveston with the mainland. The
impact of the blow at once severed tel
ephone and telegraph wires, and for 6
time fears were felt on the mainland

nine years ago had occurred.

shipping was not disturbed.
A hurricane for East Texas was fore

The inhabitants of the few scattered

fury of the storm soon abated and tn
anxiety of those who entertained fear
of another tidal wave were thus earl,

of the storm, that Mallory lin,

That's too much money to trust you
with"
"The more money the farther l can
get" pleaded Snyder.
"I'll be here at 8 tomorrow night
said Wheaton, "and you stay here until
l come"
Two or three men who were sitting In
the office below eyed Wheaton curiously
as he went out. The thought that they
might recognize him from his portraits
in the papers pleased him.
He retraced his steps from the hotel
and boarded car filled with people OF
the laboring class who were returning
from an outing in the suburbs. They
were making merry in strange tongue
and their boisterous mirth was an offense
to him. He was a gentleman of position

form, where the atmosphere was purel

yellow-haired sweethearts. When h,

man told him that all the others wer,
out. He went to his room and spent th,
rest Of the evening reading a novel which
he had heard Evelyn Porter mention tn,
night that he had dined at her house.
The next day he bought ticket to Spo
kane, and drew one hundred dollars from
his account in the bank. He went a
o'clock to the Occidental to keep hii
appointment, and found Snyder patiently
waiting for him in the hotel Office, hold
ing shabby valise between his knees.
At the railway station Wheaton step

"All right, JIM" said Snyder. "Yol
won't ever lose anything by helping m
along. You're in big luck and 1t ain
goipg to hurt you to give me littl
boost now and then"
This is the last time" said Wheaton
firmly, angry at Snyder's hint for fur
ther assistance.
Wheaton stood inside the station an
watched the man cross the electric-lighi
ed platform, show his ticket at the gat,
and walk TO the train. He still waitet
watching the car which the man boardet

His tone gradually softened; he took
on an air of patient magnanimity. Sny-
der broke in with a sneer.
Look here, Jim, don't try the goody-
goody business on me- You think you're
mighty smooth and you're mighty good
and you're gettin' on pretty fast Your
picture in the papers is mighty handsome,
and you looked real swell in them fine
clothes up at the bankers talkin' to that
girl"
That's another thing said Wheaton
still standing. Il ought to refuse to do
anything for you after that. Getting
drunk and attacking me couldn't posi-
bly, do you or me any good. 1t was sheer
luck that you weren't turned over to the
police"

LOSS is HEAVY IN LOUISIANA
Grave Fears for Safety of People in
Small Towns Entertained.


Small Towns Entertained.
New Orleans, July 23.-That there
was greater loss of life in Southwest
ern Louisiana than that reported up to
l o'clock today is confidently believed.
Several hundred people have taken
refuge in the United States biological
station at Cameron, La. The waters
of the gulf last night covered large
portion of the parish, rising to point
within six inches of the high water
mark made during the storm which
destroyed Galveston nine years ago.
Much stock has been destroyed.
The gravest fears are still being en-
tertained in connection with the fate
of many persons at coast towns. Be-
tween Calcasieu Pass, La, and Sabine
Pass, Tex, there are several hundred
people who have failed to get into COM
munication with the outside world
since the hurricane. Heavy damage
and possible loss of life is feared at
Johnson's Bayou, La.
Reports of damage at settlements
anu COWHS dS ldT SOutu dS DTOWHSViic,
Tex, are coming in.
1t is reported that many houses were
wrecked in Brazora and Allenhurst.
At Richmond, an interior town, SO
houses are reported to have been par
TALLY wrecked.
On account of anxiety felt over the
fate of 1000 or more persons in at
tendance on the State Baptist Young
Peoples encampment at Palacios, or
the coast of Texas, an effort is being
made to reach that point. All tele-
graph wires are down as the result Of
a storm which swept the entire coast.
Further loss of life is reported from
Cameron Parish, La. Basile Dagg, g
fisherman, and his young son were
caught by the high tide which resulted
from the hurricane and were drowned
Another son, 12 years old, managed tc
escape.
The St. uis-Brownsville Mexican
railway has been advised that the dam
age at Bay City, Tex, is $3.50, 000

"Well, l don't know anything about

That was a fool job; about the lonesom'

Saxton didn't seem to take a shine to
me; wanted me to 60 chasing cattle all

"He flattered you," said Wheaton, a
faint smile drawing at the corners of his
mouth.
'None of that kind of talk" returned
Snyder, sharply. Now what you got to
say for yourselfY'
"It isn't necessary for me to say any
thing about myself, said Wheaton, cool
ly. ''What I'm going to say is that
you've got to get out of here in hurry
and stay out"

is now in actual possession of the fam
GUS San Pablo buffalo herd, the last
