tails. but dispatch from a newspaper
correspondent at Weeping Water said
it was reported heavy property damage
was done.
Storms in South Dakota.
Sioux Falls, s. D., Sept. 10.-Three
men were killed at West Sioux Falls
and many farm buildings were de-
stroyed in a storm which struck just
outside the Sioux Falls city limits late
last night. The towns of Oils, Hart
ford and East Sioux Falls are reported
hard hit. Telephone and telegraph
communication is demoralized, tele-
phone poles and trees obstructing the
roads and making them impossible.
Austin Also Hit.
Austin, Tex, Sept 1O-FamiIies in
the lowlands were rushing from their
homes here today to seek safety from
the waters of cloudburst which broke
with great fury over this city and sur
rounding territory early today. Over
ten inches of water have already fall
len and the Colorado river is rising in
manner to cause alarm. The Mis-
souri,, Kansas & Texas bridge at
Pflugerville has been washed out.
Creedmoor is reported inundated.
The great Austin dam in the Colo
RADIO river is being anxiously watched,
and telephone lines are being kept
clear to flash warnings at the first
sign of danger.
Six negroes were reported injured
at Pflugerville where a tornado &C
companied the rain.
Eight Persons Injured.
Approximately $4,000 damage to
property and eight persons injured,
one seriously is the result of a ter
rifle downpour of rain and the tor
nado which swept Austin and vicinity
late yesterday.
The wind struck south Austin and
Creedmoro. a small town fifteen miles
to the southeast. Most of the injured
were from Creedmore's vicinity
Houston, Tex, Sept. 10.-With lines
of communication badly crippled be-
tween Houston and Laredo, meager
reports are slow in coming in of the
damage caused by heavy rains south
of Corpus Christi, in the Rio Grande
valley.
Railway Track Washed Out.
Thousands of feet of railway track
age and many bridges have been
washed out on the Texas Mexico rail-
road between Laredo and Corpus
Christi and traffic has been suspended
indefinitely Property damage as
heavy, but no loss of life has been re-
ported.
According to telephone information
from Bastrop. the Colorado river at
that point was up twenty-five feet at
IL a. m. Saturday morning and still
rising. The river had already broken
over the banks in low places and it
was expected that it will rise at least
five or six feet more, which will in
undate a large area in that section
and cause many thousands of dollars
loss.
Rainfall Is 11.45 Inches.
Waco, Tex, Sept. 10.-Advices to-
day from Cameron, sixty miles south
of Waco, said great damage had been
done in Milan county to property,
principally growing crops, by flood wa
tiers on the Little river, following a
rainfall of about Has inches. A
trestle of the Santa Fe railroad over
Little river was washed out, it was
said.

polo contests between American and
British teams; a program consisting
of dozen big time circus and hippo

some vaudeville features and a grand
pyrotechnical display.
A large per cent of the exhibits are
already on the grounds. The manage
ment has long since been sending out
kilograms rejecting livestock entries
because every available foot of room is
occupied. Entries in many other de-
partments also have been rejected.
Much of the livestock. the Boys and
Girls club exhibits and the machinery
exhibits are also on the ground. Motor
hall, filled with a varied line of auto
mobiles of the latest models, is ready
for opening. The county agricultural
exhibits. the government and state
agricultural exhibits and displays in
many other departments are in place
ready for the opening.
Exhibits in Place by O'Clock.
The rules demand that every exhibit
be in place by O'Clock Monday morn
ing in order that early visitors may
not miss a single detail. Everything
will be as complete Monday morning
as II Will De during the DllQQle OIL Lfle
week. All day tomorrow and all night
tomorrow night workmen will toll I'M

to the grounds. Wortham's Greater
Alamo shows, which will form the
midway attraction during the week,
will arrive Sunday and be in place
ready for the grand opening of the
Sunflower trail Monday afternoon at
1 o'clock.
Entries of exhibits this year have
broken all records. The livestock pa
vilions are filled with the finest herds
and stables of draft horses, beef and
dairy cattle in the central west. The
twelve spacious swine barns are crowd
ed and the four big swine futurities
are attracting wide attention.
Livestock entries are twenty-five per
cent heavier than ever before.

than last year and there is a notice
able increase in the number of county
exhibits. The womens building is full
of culinary. art and textile displays
and thousand of items of interest to
the housewife COOKING, canning, pre-

racing team and he has entered two
cars in the local events. Jack STRAIT
ton of Chicago has been selected by
Raimey to pilot the second car.
The Essex cars hold the worlds
fifty-hour record, which was made on
the Cincinnati speedway. also the
Transcontinental road record for cars
of any make or size. This record has
stood for the past year, and it is a
great achievement for the light Essex.
Both of the fast Essex cars will be en-
races.
Few automobile race drivers are
better known to the automobile world
than the little veteran, Johnnie Raj
| mey, and it is doubtful If any driver
is more widely respected by his CO.
workers than this same little fellow.
Raimey started his professional race
driving career back in the dawn OF
/, the automobile racing sport, and in
| fourteen years that he has been bat
| Ting for gold and fame on all kinds
| of tracks and under all kinds of condi-
J lions. he has defeated at one time or
another practically every prominent
driver in the country. When he began
taking chances on dirt tracks and
driving in hill climbs and road races
back in 1910. he gained national fame
as a member of the Cino racing team
For the past season Raimey has
been hunting further laurels on Ca
madam tracks, and at Calgary. Regina
and Toronto the Essex pilot made a
very creditable showing.

Travis street. also suffered, as well as
several smaller hotels in the down.

city in Texas. it is also the military
headquarters for Texas and New Mex

Showers to Continue.
Washington, Sept. 1O.-Weather bu-

which brought flood conditions today
to San Antonio and other Texas points
would be experienced elsewhere. The
weather will continue showery in the
