Casualty List in
Lone Star Flood
Advances to AZ
Rescue Workers Estimate
Killed as High as 300
Property Loss Placed
At S5,OO0.OO0.

San Antonio, Tex. Sept. ll.-Th2
list of known dead from Saturdays
flood had advanced TO AZ late to-
day. The dead and missing were
estimated at approximately 250 by
rescue workers, while Police Com
missioner Phil Wright said they
might total 800. Many residents,
however, consider these figures high.
The property loss was placed at
S5000,000 by some business men,
but both lower and higher estimates
were made.
Soon after daylight searchers on
the Alazan creek found three bodies
III the driitwood and wreckage on the
banks and another was found near
the San Antonio river. Other bod
les were recovered. While it has
been declared that possibly the ma
jority OF the estimated dead float
ed down the streams. searchers be-
lieve that as the wreckaye is cleared
away others will be found.
Hundreds Homeless.
Rescuers confined their efforts
principally to recovering bodies,
work OF rescuing the marooned hav-
ing been completed yesterday.
Rescue and relief work continued
all last night and today. Hundreds
of Mexieans and the poorer people
who lived along the Alazan, are
homeless and were given assistancc
by relief headquarters established
downtown.
The fact that most of the bodies
have been fully clothed
shows that the victims were either
aarHed or heard the approaching
.ush Of water in time to make prep
lrations to leave.
The city proper has been in a.
:rippled condition all day from the
1ood. There have been no lights
,or street car service because of lack

FATHER KILLS EAGLE WHICH
ATTACKED DMFAMT GM ARMS

Swooping down from the sky, and within a short distance of where
more than 800 picnckers were camped for the day, a ferocious half
grown ~baldheaded eagle attacked Albert Pierce of 1904 Wharton Ave,
Butte, and all but succeeded in carrying away his year-old son Roder-
lex, whom the father was holding in his arms. Unable to secure the
baby, the enraged bird turned upon the father, who was lacerated about
the face. Aiming himself with a club, Pierce awaited the second attack
of the eagle and with one swing killed the bird when it darted at his
eyes.
Pierce had taken his little son and wandered a short distance away
from camp in search of g~ooseberries. He was bending over, busily en-
gagged in picking berries, when he was attracted BY a shadow. Looking
up he was in time to see the eagle coming directly at the baby.
In an effort to brighten the bird away, Pierce threw his hat at the
eagle. This, however, apparently served only to anger it, for, chang
ing its course, it renewed its attack, this time coming at the father. To
save his little son from the vicious talons, Pierce hastily dropped the
baby in the berry bushes. Possessing himself of a stick, he awaited
the next swoop of the eagle, killing it in midar. Except for several
scratches about the face, Pierce suffered little from his peculiar en-
counter. The baby was not injured. The dead bird was taken to Butte
and will probably be mounted.

HELENA RESIDENT
VISITED BY BEAR
BRUIN ATTACKS POTATO PATCH
AND DOG WAKES UP HIS
ASTONISHED MASTER
M. A. LOwery, Residing in the Out
skirts of Helena, Gets Thrill of
His Life When He Discovers Big

When M. A. Lowery, sleeping in 6
tent in the rear of his home at All
Idaho avenue, Helena, about 8 O'Clock
one morning recently, heard his dog
barking vigorously in the yard, he
rolled over, told the dog to shut up.
and went back to dreamland.
A moment later he felt the bed
clothes give way, and rousing, he dis
covered that his dog was the motive
power behind the disappearing blan-
kets. The moment Lowery hit the
ground, the dog let go and rushed in
to the yard, growing and barking.
Lowery followed, rubbing the sleep
from his eyes and yawning.
Surprise Was Mutual
The next moment he made out in
the gray light the form of a bear
six or seven feet long, standing in
the center of his potato patch in the
parking and tearing up the ground
while he champed with relish on the
succulent spuds and kept a wary eye
turned in the direction of the dog.
The appearance of Lowery in his
pajamas apparently surprised Bruin
for the animal let out an astonished
"whoo-oosh!" that didn't completely
submerge Lowery's squawk of dis
may, as he turned and hotfooted it
for his automatic under the pillow
in the tent.
Family sFrom Missouri
When Lowery boiled out of the
tent, gun in hand, a series of "woofs"
down the alley apprised him that the
bear was beating a hasty retreat. He
didn't go into the dark alley to see
if the bear had stopped, but he steer
ed into the house to tell his family
of the big adventure. His story was
received with much skepticism, not
to say downright intimations that he
must have been suffering from night
mare. He protested he was wide
awake and that he had seen the
bear; also he called attention to the
torn-up condition of the ground.
Adds Rifle to Arsenal
BY this time 1t was daylight and
the Lowery family, led by the bear
hunter, went out to see the potato
patch. Sure enough there we're bear
tracks a~-plenty all around the torn
up ground where Bruin had dug po-
tatoes. Lowery then followed the
tracks into the alley for some dis
lance and up to where the midnight
visitor had taken to the hills.
Lowery has added a rifle to his
arsenal in the tent and hopes the
bear will come back.

with nine straight victories against
larger and stronger boys.
So was there honor to Roger
Cronk of Blaine county, who won the
camp prize in stock judging. The
honor is more than noteworthy, fol
many of the boys in the camp were
really we'll posted on stock judging
and others studied the subject with
real determination to win.
Hayre Co-operated
Mr.. Ogaard especially made refer
ence, at the time of the closing of
the camp, to the wonderful co-opera-
ton shown by the people of Havre.
The business organizations of the
city at all times were boosting the
camp and helping in every possible
way to make it a success. The real
athletic feature of the camp was the
16-mile relay race, on the closing
day, from the fort to Havre and re-
turn. Boys in this race carried a
message from Superintendent Nor
gan of the experiment station to
Mayor Ritz of Havre, inviting the
people of Havre to the big picnic at
the fort. The boys relayed the may
or's message back to the fort, COM
pany "a" winning with a time of one
and Is minutes.
1t is certain that there will be an
other big camp for northern Montana
next year. The camp met with the
commentator of northern Montana
people, and from the viewpoint of the
Montana extension service, was a big
