Forty-seven persons were
unaccounted for or were re-
ported known dead today as

| Fort Worth, Texas, April 20
Flood conditions here were more
menacing this morning with the
Trinity river expected to rise fur
ther from steady downpOur of
rain. Fears were entertained that
the tragedy in which possibly
twenty lives have been lost and
property damage believed to run
in millions resulted, would be con-
Gnued today.
Swept away by the swirling cur
rents, bodies of the victims have
not been recovered. For this reas-
on no casualty list can be compil-
ed. The death toll, based mainly
on reports of missing persons.
was variously estimated from Is
to 25.
Response was awaited today to
the appeal last night of Mayor Z.
R. Cockrell, and Hubb Diggs, of
the local Red Cross, for $4,000
with which to care for the flood
sufferers. Food for the homeless
probably will be needed for ten
days, Mr. Diggs stated, while many
are in need of clothing.

grand jury of the alleged dynauGit-
ing of levees along the river by
unknown persons was expected to

citation, the second farmer-owned

d. l.. Swanson as manager.
On the opening day seven carloads
of live stock were received by the

other commission firms on the mark
ct handled So carloads. The Pro-
ducers topped the markt on a car
load of heifers, and also on hogs in
