Samfordyce and Fort Ringgold at 3
o'clock this morning, according to adj
vices to United States army head
quarters at Fort Brown. The extent
of the fall was not stated in the army

Some confusion was caused, how
ever, by a report from the McAllen
station indicating rise of eight feet
in the river which does not coincide
with the reports from Fort Ringgold
and Samfordyce and efforts were be-
ing made TO confirm this rise.
A slight fall was also recorded in
the Rio Grande al Brownsville. and
little more harm than has already
been caused i reported. Levces are
being strengthened at many points
about the city.
The greatest individual farm dam
age is reported from the f. J. Puig
place, about two miles east of Mata-
moros where water covered a large
part of Mr.. Puig's farm and probably
destroyed a large acreage of cotton.

be heavy.

with which Houdini, the famous
handcuff king, entered upon the
thrilling stunts laid out for him by
the scenartist in his new Paramount
Aircraft picture, THE Grim Game, ="
on view at the Liberty theatre April
4 and 5, nearly proved his undoing.
In a fierce battle in which Houdini
fights with quartet of burly Eek
tras," his wrist snapped in the midst
of the action, and, though the scene
was finished further work on the
picture had to be postponed for sew
eral weeks, for it was found that a
| large bone in his wrist had been
broken clearly in two.
