The Piedmont Section Expert
ences the Heaviest Rains
in Years

Greensboro Child Drowned While Re
turning From School-Railroad
Trains Forced to Tie Up-Much
Damage to Property in Several
Counties-The Storm in Other
States.
This State was visited by a severe
rain and windstorm Friday. The
heaviest of the storm appears to have
struck Piedmont North Carolina.
The damage to roads and bridges in
Mecklenburg County is estimated at
$4,000, while in Forsyth the dam
age to roads is said to be at least
$4,000. In Rockingham County
bridges and mill dams were washed
away. The tobacco planters in that
county suffered heavily. Tobacco
beds in all sections of that county
were washed away.
Many horses and cattle were swept
down the Catawba River.
In Cabarrus County numerous
mills and bridges were washed away
and one school-house was blown
over. At Weldon the Roanoke River
rose to forty-five feet above low wa
ter mark. and the farmers in the
| lowlands suffered heavily.
While the storm was more or less
severe all over the State it appears
that the greatest damage was done
in Rowan and Guilford Counties. A
report from Salisbury Friday night
says:
"The heaviest rain storms expert
enced in this part of North Carolina
since June, 1897, came to-day, para
lying railroad business in all direc-
tions and doing many thousand dol
lars in damage to property. At
Swearing Creek, near Lexington, the
main line of the Southern Railway
is washed out and travel has been
held up all day. Three bad wash
outs are reported on the main line
south of this city and no trains were
run on the western branch between
Salisbury and AsheEille upto a late
hour tonight On account Of bad
washouts. THE main line trains are
still tied up behind washouts, but no
wrecks are reported, which Is con-
sidered miraculous.
The Yadkin River is on a ram
page and is rising two feet per hour.
All creeks are greatly swollen, ru-
raj mails were impossible or badly
delayed on account of high water.
Many of the bridges in all directions
are washed away and travel is at q
standstill. Scores of employees at
reach their homes in the country to-
| the shops at Spencer were unable to
night on account of swollen streams.
Street culverts, fills and bridges in
Salisbury and Spencer were washed
out in many instances and the dam
age is heavy. A huge concrete wall
on the right of way of the Southern
in Salisbury tumbled down to-day to
a length of more than 200 feet en-
failing loss OF $1,000.
THE rain fell in torrents, reach
ing more than six inches in twelve
hours. Wind also played havoc with
electric lines and telephone commun-
ication in many instances is cut OFF.
About 5000 feet of new macadam
road in Salisbury was washed away
to-day"

gusts of wind. Easements in all
large buildings are flooded. Reports

LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES They Are Closely Observing
 Public Health Conditions

An examining physician for one Of the prominent Life Insurance Com panies, in an interview on the subjecr. made the astonishing statement that the reason why So many applicants for insurance are rejected is because kidney trouble is so common to the American people, and the large ma jority of applicants do not even sus- rect that they have the disease.
 He states that judging from his own experience and reports from druggists who are constantly in di- rect touch with tho public, there is one preparation that has probably been more successful in relieving and curing these diseases than any Teme- dy known. The mild and healing iE- fluence of Dr. Kilmers Swamp Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its remarkable record of cures We find that Swamp-Root is strictly an herbal compound and we could ad- wise our readers who feel in need of such remedy to give it a trial. It is on sale at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes-fifty-cent and one dol lar.

SONORA NOTES
(By Joseph Cohn)

CANANEA. Sonora Mexico. Jan. 6: A messenger was sent into Cananea yesterday by the bandit leaders. Car dSnas and Rome. who offer to sur render to the authorities if they be guaranteed that they will not be exc cuted. The messenger called on Pre- feet Hin and it is understood that the official has granted the request of the bandits and that the leaders and their men, numbering about twenty, will soon come 70 Cananea.
 The messenger stated that the men were in the MaTquita mountains. but few hours ride from Cananea.
 5uelna near 5acoachi
 Reports have been received in Can anea to the effect that Jesus Buelna. the outlaw. and his following, number ing about twelve. had been seen in the neighbOrhood Of BacoaChi a few days ago Buelna and Cardenas seem 10 have split their forces as the two men are at least forty miles from each other
 lt is also reported that Buelna is making for the northern portion of the district, probably his destination being the international boundary line.
 The weather has been very cold in the hills for the past month and 1t is undoubtedly on this account that the outlaws are giving mp their depreda. tions.
 There are now four eases Of small pox in Cananea, the cases seeming to have their origin in Magdalena. There is no fear of it's spreading to the extent of a few months ago
 Conductor J. M Johnson on the Cananea-NaCo run was arrested on Thursday noon upon his arrival in Cananea because he refused 10 carry a boy about l2 or F years of age who was accompanied by his mother, who. it seems could not pay his fare. The boy was set down from the train at a point one kilOmeter from Naco. while the mother proceeded to Can anea, where she lodged 8 complaint against the conductor
 The train was delayed on it's outgo- ing run for half an hour until finally the authorities decided to allow John son to continue to the end of his run under guard Of two policemen.
 At Naco, Johnson delivered himself to the authorities and in less than an hour was liberated.
 Robbers entered the warehouse of R. C. Marines on Thursday morning and after oyerpOwering a young man sleeping there. turned the safe up- sidedown and dug hole in the bot tom. rifiing it's contents, about 7j0 pesos. When the robbers left the place a policeman happened along and one of the men started towards town on a run. He was followed by the officer who fired several times in thJ air to stop him but the fellow ran faster At the Ronquille bridge the night chief of police shot the fellow in the heel bringing him 10 the ground when upon searching him the money was found The fellow gave the name of A Alvarez. The other two men escaped.
 It is thought that the men, all ot whom are young, are members of g gang which had been robbing numer ous places here during the past few months. and who opened several safes about town by digging holes in the bottom.

Alleged Dead Man Sound Asleep
Revolver IS Accidentally Discharged
Which Results in Many Wild Ru-

Boise. Idaho, Dec. 16. - An all
night search over a lonely stretch of
country for the body of a man sup
posed to have been murdered during
quarrel with a companion came to
ludicrous realistic relieve-this-ter-
rible suspense, ending at Payette
Thursday morning when the search
ing party discovered Troy Phlffs, the
alleged victim, soundly sleeping
through that cold grey dawn period
which usually follows a red hot night
The story was told in Boise yester-
day by r. l.. Shaw, an attorney from
Payette, who was a member of the
searching party. Mr.. Shaw says that
the two men,. Phiffs and Charley
Woods, were alone near sheep camp
when the accident occurred which led
up to the search.
1t seems that the men had INDUCED
in intoxicants to a greater or less de-
gree and were engaged in scuffle
when the revolver carried by one OF
them was suddenly discharged
Both men, confused by the heat
anu dIuOT OF the conflict, were QdZeu
by the gun report ana both involun-
tarily ceased scuffling and broke into
a run. Phiffs stumbled and fell and
Woods, thinking he had shot Phiffs,
increased his speed. Phiffs shouted
to Woods to come back and help him
up but the call only instilled more
terror into the fleeing Woods who
was now certain that Phiffs had been
struck by the bullet and was writh-
ing in pain and agony.
Over the sagebrush desert and into
the glare of the arc lights in Payette
the horror-stricken Woods continued
his flight and. according to Shaw's
story, he did not halt until he ush-
cred himself into the presence of the
constable, told the story of the kill.
