vested Nels Maybelle as ore of the
thieves who had stolen it. Or last Sat

n.te plans are not completed.
Mr.. Calkins was in Yellowstone
park last week making tour of in

for the purpose Of making a trip
over the Gallatin Way that he devot-
ed more time in the park than he in
tended to give. The storm of last

Death in San Antonio Flood
ESTIMATED BETWEEN ESQ AND 800 LOST LIFE IN GREAT
EST FLOOD EVER KNOWN IN DISTRICT PROPERTY
WORTH FIVE MILLION DESTROYED

San Antonio, Tex, Sept. 14-Po-
lice officials still believe an estimate
of $50 lives lost as a result Of the
disastrous flood which struck this
city early Saturday morning to be a
conservative one. No attempt has
been made to estimate the property
damage, but it is certain to run into
millions Of dollars.
The work of recovering the bodies
is still progressing slowly. Great
piles CT driftwood which have lodged
in trees and against bridges over the
flooding rivers and creeks when re-
moved, it is feared, will reveal addi-
t.Onal dead. Many bodies are also
believed to have floated down stream
and may never be found.
With the waters Of the San Antonio
river the Alazan and San Pedro
creeks back in their banks only a
few hours, relief work and sanitary
precautions are already well under
way A thoroughly organized relief
committee has begun caring for flood
victims, and city health officers are
engaged in a rigid cleanup Of the city
to prevent an epidemic of any ds-
ease.
Reports gradually tTickling IN from
outlying sections of the city only
serve to confirm the fear that the
flood is the worst in the city's his
