SEVEN LIVES LOST
IN HEAVY FLOODS
Much Property Destroyed IN Storms

Tuscon. Ariz., Oct. 14.-Seven
persons are reported dead in Quay
amas and vicinity, and property
damage estimated at $4,000 in
Cured as a result of heavy rainfall
and wind that visited the west coast
of Mexico last Tuesday afternoon.
A number of other persons are re-
ported dead at Ortiz, thirty miles
north OF Guayamas are confirmed Of
ficially. The rainfall that swept
Guayamus and Sonora west coast,
was the heaviest in fifty years. The
only storm approaching 1t in in
tensity was that Of 1866. The rain
fall in Guayamas and Empalme was
five inches, while, judging from the
amount of water coming down into
the bay from the, north and east, 1t
was estimated that the rainfall in
the foothills was between twenty
and thirty inches.
The loss to Guayamas property
owners is large. F. J. Archer, as
sistant general manager OF the
Southern Pacific railway of Mexico
states the damage will not exceed
100000.

mobilization of the Atlantic and
Pacific fleets at New York and Los

while the number combined does
not equal the 1873 reviewed by the
German emperor at Kiel last sum

their tremendous displacement of

Chief Executive Addresses Great
Crowd at Sacramento and Re-
views Blue Jackets While
at Oakland.

San Francisco, CAL, Oct. IL
President Taft found what may
prove to be the heartiest welcome Of
his trip awaiting him here today.
He had spent the entire day in the
state, travelling down from the
northern border, where Gov. Hiram
w. Johnson and party of officials
met him.
Governor Johnson is the insurg-
ent republican leader in the state.
He used but few words and invar-
iably referred to Mr.. Taft as "the
president of the United States"
At the state capitol, Sacramento,
Mr.. Taft spent two hours and spoke
from the capitol steps.
Governor Johnson did not attend
the banquet in honor of the pres
ident; pleading a previous en-
gagement, but will speak with him
today at the ground breaking cere-
monies of the Panama-Pacific inter-
national exposition to be held in
celebration of the formal opening Of
the Panama canal in 1915.
The acceptance by President Taft
of an invitation to turn the first
spadeful of earth at the ceremony
was one of the definite engagements
NJ;
In his speeches yesterday Mr.. Taft
often referred to the exposition and
said he was sure it would be an
other exemplification of the manner
in which California and San Fran
cisco do big things" He was loud
ly cheered.
Throughout the day great throngs
turned out to greet the president.

PROCEEDINGS TO RECOVER GIRL.
A contest over the custody of girl
is recorded in Grape VS. Smith, II
Southeastern Reporter. SOL The girl
had run away and gone thru the form
OF marriage with a young man when
her father brought habeas corpus
against the young man, alleging that
the girl was only Is years Of age. and
that the attempted marriage was void.
The respondent Set up that the girl
was more than II years old and that
the marriage was legal He further
set up that the girls father had mis-
treated her: but this portion of the
answer was stricken by the court, and
the issue was confined to the sole Ques-
ton as 20 whether the girl was II
years old The trial judge settled this
conflict by finding tina, she was not.
and thereupon awarded her TO the Gus
tody OF her father The court of ap-
peals Of Georgia holds that this finding
must he accepted as the truth of the
case In passing. the court says: THE
young couple seem TO be very much in
love and the intentions of both seem to
be entirely honorable. and the proper
thing for them to do is to wait until
next winter when she will unquestion-
and, as it is customary to phrase IT,
live together happy ever afterward.'

from the penalty of prison walls. The
young attorney was worthy Of his
steel, and again and again when ne APP
pealed to the decision of the court the
judge ruled against him, yet smiled
with pride at his ingenious struggle. A
new trial and supersedeas were refused
and the accused went to the peniten-
tiary. In illustrating the state Of his
emotions the Judge said in his opinion:
II am very sure that was proud OF his
efforts. and proud that we are descend
ed from the same revolutionary sire.
Even tho was generally obliged to
rule against him. when observed his
original and vigorous exertions my
emotions were not unlike those Of Mrs.
Whackles who had determined to turn
down Mr.. Richard Swiveller, who, as
we are told in the Old Curiosity Shop
was suing for the hand Of her daugh-
ter, Miss Sophie. Notwithstanding his
jealous rage for his successful rival,
Cheggs, Mr.. Swiyeller danced with such
skill and agility, and executed such
remarkable evolutions on the floor and
in the air, that Mrs. Whackles felt af-
ter all that It might be. great honor
to have such a dancer in the family"
United States VS.. Gibson, 1sS Federal
Reporter, 1876.
