vert and Bryan, or approximately 10000 square miles already has felt the effect of flood waters. About eight moret lives, mostly tenants in the lowlands, are known to be lost, with possibility of this being in- creased when more accurate reports are available,
 Property loss is almost beyond esti- mate. It is estimated that the loss to growing crops which were borne away upon the crest of the waters as they rushed steadily toward the gulf may run into the millions of dollars. Live stock will account for hundreds of thousands of dollars more, while tenant houses, fences and outhouses with a few dwellings, probably will run into the tens of thousands. Georgetown, in Williamson county, reports the loss of two dead and three missing, with property. damage of around $5O0,000. The dispatch, which was sent yesterday but de- layed, says the storm was the worst in years. All streams are out of bounds, the message says, and cattle and cotton in the lowlands are total loss.

HUNTING BODIES IN
 DEBRIS OF FLOOD
San Antonio Death List at 47, With Search U unfinished; Land.
 marks Wiped Out.

San Antonio, Tex, Sept. 1.-The list of known dead from the flood of early yesterday was 47 late tonight, The dead and missing are estimated at approximately 250 by officials en- gagged in recovering the bodies, while Police Commissioner Phil Wright es- inmates that it may reach 300. Many residents regard these figures as too | high.
 ..The property loss is placed at $5,- OO0,OOO by some business men and those in charge of reclamation work. Estimates lower and higher also are heard.
 Soon after daylight today search- CTS on the Alazan creek found three bodies in the driftwood and wreckage on the banks, and another was found on the San Antonio river banks Other bodies were recovered at d1f' ferent times. While it has been de- cIared that possibly the majority of the estimated dead floated down the streams, the sdarchers believe that as the wreckage and driftwood are clear ed away others will be found.
 Much of the debris, especially in the Alazan creek district, remains to be searched. The wreckage in places is tangled to a depth of 20 feet.
 
 were confined principally to recover ing bodies, work of rescuing the ma rooned having been completed yester- day. Rescue and relief work contin- ued last night and today. Hundreds of Mexicans and the poorer people who lived along the Alazan and who were made homeless were given as- sistance by the relief headquarters established in downtown building.
 Many Were Warned,
 The fact that most of the bodies re- covered were fully clothed shows that the victims either were warned or heard the approaching rush of water in time to make preparations to leave.
 The funerals of some of the victims were held today, while strict military control was maintained over the inun- dated disticts.
 AS the flood waters slowly receded the search of the wreckage contin- ued. Gangs of workmen were engaged all night in hauling the debris from business districts. All available pumps and engines were called into service to pump water from basements.
 One of the greatest losses to any line of business was suffered by auto mobile dealers, many new cars being damaged in warehouses or on display room floors. That loss is estimated at $25O,000

TAMPA EXPRESS CASHIER ROBBED

 In Automobile
By Associated Press

Tampa, tia. January 2.-Two men held up Cashier E. F. Smith at the American Railway Express company's main office at the Union station here this afternoon, about 4:45 o'clock and got away with third man in an automo- bile. They carried ofy with them $19,7c0 in cash and two other packages, mer chandise, which they seized from the sate and desk -iRs the eashiers of offce.sSs.-ss --s-
 The officers have spread a dragnet for the men but no arrests have been made.
 Smiths story is that he had just opened the door of his cage to go down the hali- way to Manager W. ]. Eyes office 10 consult with him about a matter, when two nicely dressed men entered the hall. One man had a wad of bills in his hand and told Smith he was in hurry and wanted money order. Smith turned about, unlocked the door to his cage and was about to enter when one of the men showed the muzzle of pistol against the back of his head and said in low voice:
 If you make any noise I blow your brains out" Smith was then thrust through the door and told to hold out his hands, and as he did so the other man handcuffed him. He says he was then compelled to lie down behind a counter and while one man guarded him with the gun the other snatched up three packages of currency from the safe and two packages of merchandise from a desk. They then told Smith to keep quiet as they had other confederates who had stuck up'' the remainder of the place. They then slipped out quietly and Smith heard an automobile start up and roll away. A few minutes later another employe of the express company went to Smiths cage and not seeing the man, called him and Smith answered. He told his story quickly and the police were called in.
 Smith could give only hay descrip- tion of the two men and the only descrip- tion of the car. obtained from a negro who saw it roll away, was that it was q big black machine.

GRAND JURORSAT
 JASPER ADJOURN;
 SLAYER INDICTED
Walker County Inquiry Re- cesses-No Other Charges In Lynching-UncIe Who
 Slew Nephew Accused

Jasper, January 2S.-(Special)- )--The c Walker county special grand jury, called primarily to investigate the lynching of William Baird, young miner, who was taken from the jail here January Is and shot to death by masked mobbers. made a report at 80 o'clock this afternoon and recessed until March IA. It is thought a recess was taken that they might be recon vened tt any time occasion demanded.
 The report included 13 indictments, but each was of an entirely local nature, in that no further charges were filed against individuals suspected of taking part in the lynching. The grand jury previously had returned indict- ments against nine guardsmen of Com pany M Tuscaloosa, specifically charg- ing the defendants with responsibility for Baird's murder The accused now are in the Hamilton jail, having oh- tained change of venue to Marion county, and their trials are set TOT next Monday.
 Local opinion had inclined to believe for the last several days that no fur ther indictments would he returned in the lynching case. It was thought that had the grand Jurors intended to indict Leslie West, chauffeur of Holly Grove, and Guy Cannon and Clyde Springer. guardsmen, now in jail in connection with the crime, they would have been included in the earlier reports. These, it is understood, are being held as witnesses in the trial of the soldier prisoners.
 The only first degree murder charge returned in today's batch was that agains. Dr. I. F. Drummond. Dr. Drum mond is accused of killing his nephew, Dr. Sam Drummond at their dental offices here November ?, last. The re- maining 12 indictments were for minor cffepsee
