Train Service Crippled.

Denison, Tex, July 3.-At no time
since the floods of 1908 have the rail-
roads operating in north Texas and
southern Oklahoma experienced such
difficulty in attempting to operate
trains as they have last night today
and tonight. Practically every line
operating in this section is endeavor-
ing to rebuild tracks.
Late this afternoon indications were
that roads crossing Red river and
entering Oklahoma are to experience
still further washouts. Reports re-
ceived here from West Texas, espec-
tally the Panhandle country, say that
heavy rains have fallen inthat part
Of Texas, and heavy head of water
is accumulating in Red River near
Wichita Falls. Should the volume
prove to be as large as reports say,
doubtless all of the Katy's immense
fill between Warner Junction and
Red River north of here will be SER
iously damaged, but it is believed
the bridge over Red River will stand
Shortly after noon a bulletin an
nomced that over 200 feet of track on
the Fort Worth division near Sadler,
west of Denison, had gone out, and
trains over that division were
anulled. The Katy Flyer is operating
between Denison and Dallas over the
Houston and Texas Central. The Cen
tral lost 200 feet OF track near Van
Alstyne, but this was quickly repaired
and trains permitted to proceed The
Katy has been attempting to operate
trains into Dallas by sending them
from here on the Fort Worth division
into Denton, where they were trans
ferred to the Denton Dallas branch.
With the washing out of the track
at Sadler this service had to be aban-
doned.
Trainmen say the country be-
tween Bells and Leonard is a sea of

water. One man said it was six and
eight feet deep in places. Miles of
cotton fields are covered, and only
the tassels of full grown corn can
be seen from the trains.
Frisco mainline trains which were
detoured over the Houston and Texas
Central from Dallas with the intention
of operating them through Denison
into Durant and thence east to Hugo
to again take the main line, were
turned at Denison and sent east over
the Texas and Pacific. The Frisco
reports several bridges north of Red
river in Oklahoma in bad shape this
afternoon. There is also much soft
track.
A rainstorm, almost the equivalent
of waterspout, fell in Denison today
beginning shortly before a. m. and
continuing until after - o'clock. The
rain was general over this section
and some places report fall in excess
of three inches. Streets here were
washed and some stores flooded, the
storm sewers being inadequate.
Late this afternoon it was said that
the Katy could not possibly estimate
the damage to its property in north
and east Texas, although it would
run into hundreds of thousands Of dol
lars

instances when he saw him drinking.

He testified that DR.. Mahr is incom~
petent
DR.. Mahr Takes Stand.
Dr. Mahr took the stand in his own
behalf Thursday afternoon and denied
every allegation made by the state.
In reference to his employment by
the Continent Life Insurance
company, DR.. Mahr stated that he
went to Governor Haskell when the
proposition was made to him by the
insurance company and the governor
told him, since his salary was only
Sl,SOO a year, less than that receivd
by any state health commissioner in
the United States with the exception of
Arkansas, that it would be all right
for him to accept the appointment,
In reply to the charge of PADDING
expense accounts as testified to by
Charles Bellamy, Mahr stated that he
had tried TO discharge Bellamy several
times, but failed on account of Bell
amys brother, who was then lieuten-
ant governor. He stated that every
time he reproved Bellamy, Governor
Haskell would call the health officer
ION the carpet" He said that it was
not until Governor Cruce took office
, that he was able to get rid of Bell
amy.
DR.. Mahr denied that he is an habit
ral drunkard, and stated that he did
not attempt to push "germo" disin-
fcctant in preference to other disin-
gectants He explained at length the
organization of the state health de.
partment and stated that he had put
lis best efforts into the work Of Civ
nig the people of the state a good
health department, DR. Mahr wrote to
every board of health in the United
States in an effort to get ideas which
would help him increase the effic-
!ency of the department, he testified.
Although a rigid and grueling cross
examination had been expected, the
prosecution created surprise when
it failed to ask Mahr a single question.

MILLIONS DAMAGE
FROM FLOODS
HUNT, GRAYSON AND COLLIN
COUNTIES IN TEXAS, SUFFER
GREAT LOSS.

The Dallas News today reports
conditions in three north Texas coun-
ties, following a torrential rain yes
terday, as follows:
Millions of dollars, just how many
can not be told at this time, will be
required to repair the damage caused
by torrential rains yesterday morn
ing in three north Texas counties.
The rains were almost waterspouts,
and, following closely on the heavy
precipitation of the night before, have
served to convert a vast section of
fine farm land into lake.
Three Counties Heaviest Losers.
While the rains seem to have fallen
over wide extent of territory the
counties which have suffered most
are Hunt, Grayson and Collin. For
a time railroad, telegraph and tele-
phone service was cut off, but the
wires have been repaired so that COM
munication by that means Is restored
and intelligence has been given of
many of the details of the losses.
Communication by rail may not be on
a normal basis again for four or five
days.
Another DoWnpour at Greenville.
Greenville, which suffered much
Wednesday, was visited by another
heavy rain yesterday. The govern
ment gauge at that place has regis
tered nearly ten inches OF precipi-
tation in thirty six hours.
At Sherman 47O inches had fallen
up to 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
The rain continued for seven hours
at Paris. Other places send similar
reports, but not in as great detail.
Although Hood county has had no
rain in twentyfour hours, the Brazos
river at Granbury suddenly began to
rise during the morning, and the pre-
sumption is that the flood waters
come from far to the north, perhaps
from the Panhandle section. Pilot
Creek, between Wylie and Copevill; :,
in Collin county, rose ten feet in
eight minutes, the water moving
downstream in a solid wall of that
height.
No Reports of Loss of Life.
The one encouraging feature of the
situation is that again there is no re-
port of loss of life, Notwithstanding
many persons had narrow escapes
from the floods which came suddenly
down rivers and smaller waterways
All the bottom lands are deep under
water, and the growing crops on them
are destroyed This is a loss which
comes to one of the finest farming
sections in Texas.
