Flood Dead
 Total Has Reached 168

Dallas, Tex. Sept 13.-The number of known dead as result of the cloudburst and tornado which struck South, Central and Southwest Texas last Friday night, had mounted to 16S today.
 It now seems certain that over 300 must have lost their lives. Latest reports were from localities where, while it was known flood conditions prevailed, no previous mention had been made of loss of life.
 Following is the most recent sum mary of bodies recovered:
 San Antonio. 49, nearly all MeN- cans; Elm Grove, 29, all Mexicans; Lanport, 23. all MeHicans; Thorndale, 45, all MeNcans; Alligator Creek 5. all Mexicans. Lawrence Crossing. 3 negroes; Bland Farm. near Taylor. 4 one negro, eight Meicans.

 It is impossible to accurately esti- Tnate property damage, although a conservative estimate places the t>etal loss in the stricken district at S2O,- 0,00O, including loss to crops and damage to rail line and station equip ment- Practically every bridge in Milan county, both highway and rail road, has gone with the flood.
 Railroad traffic is still badly ham pered, but strenuous efforts are being made to restore normal conditions at the earliest possible moment.
