CITY COUNCIL GREAT FLOODS EAST Tracks in East Part Of State . and Portions of Towns Were Under Water: There wait report in town thii morning that lot of people bad been drowned in a wreck on the second section of Santa Fe Number fl, which should bare reached here last night. The only definite re port that could be obtained here to day was that one child had been drowned, and other passengers in jured. A. man who came in from the east today claims tht he talked with a passenger who escaped from the wreck, and who got out by climb ing through a, window from a car that was nearly filled with water. Thia man stated, it is said, that no one knew how many had been drowned. What the facts are can fiotbelearuel here today, but the impression is that not many lives were lost. The wreck was caused by high water. There was a great flood from Topeka south yesterday. , None of the passenger trains oenld ran over the road from Topeka to Emporia yesterday afternoon. They were routed over the Holiday-Emporia cut-off. The second section ,No 5, wan caught in the flood between Osage City and Quenemo, and it is understood that some of the coaches were overturned in the water. The line is open this evening it is reported, and the trains will proba bly, be running on the usual time from now on. Meeting Last Night Adjourned Without Any v Action On the Water Works Question The city couooil met last nighty and transacted the regular routine of business for the month. Not all of the members were present, and the regular meeting kept the counoit busy until a Into tmur, so that an ad journment was Uken until tonight to consider the waterworks proposition. The city has been doing a lot of work putting in crossings, in prepar ation for Free Delivery, and the past month has been an expensive one, probably the most expensive of the year. - The waterworks matter looks like something of a tie-up. It ia under stood that the company will not ac cept less than $35,000 for the part of the system the council wants to bay. It is also understood that the oouuoil will not pay more than $30,000 for RACE MEETING Park Association's Usual Fourth ot July Races Given Monday. Preparing for Circuit August and September. The Driving Park Association gave a rucing matinee on Monday afternoon ui the Dark, this beinar its ... . . i . usual Fourth of July meeting, when it annually warms up the truck before the regular fall races. The entries were not large Monday afternoon, but the races were inter esting. The first was the 2:35 pace, half mile for $75 purse, on by Don danvillo's Marie in 1:09. Prongh's "Sbipshewana King ' was second and "Babe Wilkinson" third. The Free-For-AH Face, half mile, for $75 purse, was won by Dondan- ville's "Heliouo," in 1:06, best time. "Chief Vesuvioua" was second and Wilkinson's "Gideon" third. The 2:30 trot and pace was won by Wilkinson's "Dolly," half mile; best time 1:13, in two beat; "Gordon the property. The ebmpany has Reward" and "Bed Man" divided All Wool Serge Coats $3.30 made one proposition to leave the value of the plant to three competent engineers one to be selected by the company, one by the city and the other by these two. It is possible that a deal may be made npon the last basis. No one seems to know just now how the council stands as a body on this deal. It appears certain that the maj rity favor mun icipal ownership, and it is believed that the maj ority would vote to buy the present system for $30,0(70. The company evidently has legal advice that the plant must be bought to annul the franchise, while at least a part of the councilmen believe that the company has no rights whatever. This part of the matter will have to be settled in the courts of course, unless the company and the council get together on some sort of a deal. CUN CLUB HANDICAP eeoond money. The three-eights mile dash was won by "Mamie Marsh,,' owned bj Mr. Tincher, of Plains; "Buster Brown," owned by F.

Eleven years ago, according to the petition in the case jast brought against Clarence Wilson, the defend ant disappeared with a team which was the property of Mr. Keith, now of Fort Dodge.

A second contract was made something like the first Since that time, Mr. Keith claims he has been hunting (or Wilson and the team. It is un derstood that Wilson has been as far east as New York since that time, Iteoently Keith learned that he was living In Kansas City, and he got out a warrant charging him with stealing 'he team, and he was brought here In that charge this week; " J A preliminary hearing was held Wore Justice Hobble yesterday, and Wilson was bound over to the dis- Peculiar one, and it is not known bat Wilson's '. defense will be.

In Ford County. The weather bureau here reports a rain fall of .84 of an inch on Tuesday evening add .10 pn Wednesday evening of this week, and this starts the month of July off with all the moisture that is needed. The Jane rains male the finest fields of corn ever seen in the oounty, and a few more rains at tbe proper time will insure that 1,000,000 burbots of corn. The harvest is not half over yet, and the farmers are not calling foe rain just now; but the showers are miking money in the oorn fields, and to far bave not interfered seriously with the harvest. The loss of his wife will cause Mr. Cooper to move back to Mis souri, where he can have his child looked after better than upon the ranch here.

RINK TO BE REMODELED. Large Garage Will be Established In the McCarty Rink In Dodge City. Mr. Fred Edison bus rented the McCarty rink, and will establish in the building a large garage and auto livery business. Mr. Edison is one of several brothers who have garages at different points in the state, and it is understood that the one at Dodge City is to be the largest one they bave yet pnt in. About $3,000 will be spent in fitting np the repair depart ment, and machines will be kept for doing a livery business. It is nnder stood to at Mr. Edison will sell one or two makes of autos, but the chief business will be the repair and livery part. Ford county was one of the last places in the state to take the automo bile idea seriously, but in the last two years a great many machines bave been sold here, and there are few counties in the state where so large a peroeot. have been sold to the farm ers. At present it promises to be one of the foremost counties in the state for machines, ami this fact at traded Mr. Edison to Dodge City as a splendid location for a large garage, even though there are two here.
