At Least Score of Persons
Floating in Bay, Where
They Were Washed Out by
High Waves.

A mounting death list and exttn~
Slve property damage was shown in
reports early this morning (Tues-
day. from the Texas coastal region
swept by a tropical hurricane from
, The Gulf of Mexico last Sunday.
Varying reports placed the death
list at from Is in Corpus Christi
alone to more than 130 The latter
| figures included reports of bodies
recovered in Nueces bay. on which
Corpus Christi is situated.
Property damage in Corpus
Christi alone was estimated at more
than $4,000,000, while many cities
and towns along the coast in the vi
cinity of that place also suffered
heavily.
Just outside Corpus Christi bay,
| Port Aransas, located on Mustang
island, was reported virtually razed
by the storm, including destruction
of its customs house and loss of Gus
toms records. There was no posi-
tive information of loss of life in
that town, which had a population

wind and swept by torrential rains,
reported damage in varying degree,
but early incomplete reports made
no mention of casualties in these
places.
Rio Grande Valley Escapes.
Dispatches from Brownsville Mon
day, transmitted by army radio, dis
7elled fears that the lower Rio
Grande valley might have suffered
extensively from the storm which
weather bureau officials thought had
moved into Mexico near that city.
| Numerous frame buildings in the
vicinity of Brownsville were dam
aged, many wrecked, but the veloc-
;ty of the wind, which hardly ex-
ceeded so miles, seemed to refute
the belief that the storm had moved
Trough that country across the Rio
Grande. Weather men at Browns
Vile, it was stated, believed it had
curved back probably into the gulf
section of western Texas from Al
pine to beyond Sweet Water. on the
Kansas City, Mexico & Orient rail-
road and from Colorado City south
past Brady and Brownwood. It was
feared the excessive rains would
cause some damage to cotton.

Fall Hunting Season Is
Open: Nimrods All Happy

Many Omaha nimrods departed
last night for carefully selected
spots over the state, where they will
contest with the natives for first
shot at the few Nebraska ducks.
The fall hunting season opens to-
day, but gloom encircles the camps
of the scattergun followers because
early hunting promises to be light.
The few Nebraska birds will be
picked off early, and hunters will
not get a good shooting trip until
the migration OF ducks to the south
begins. Another cause Of alarm is
the fact that the Platte river, IA
vorite of duck hunters, is dry. Re-
ports from the western part of the
state, however. give some hope. Re-
ports from the upper valleys say
that the water is beginning TO ap-
pear. and it is expected before the
shooting gets good the river will
come to life.
If the southern flight should start
now. shooting on the Platte would
undoubtedly be the poorest in years.
