Throughout north Texas the heav
iest rains in many yearn ?re reported,
causing tremendous loss to farmers
and stock growors flooding lowlands
and rendering country roads impas
sable, hundreds of bridges having
been washed away.
At Fort Worth tho Trinity river is
reeeeding, but street car trafile be
tween Fort Worth and North Fort
Worth will not bo restored beforo to
morrow.
By employing every available man
in the city and dispatching them in
special trains to the sent of the trou
ble, Fort Worth railroads Saturday
actively began to repair tho $250,000
damage inflicted by Friday night's
.storms.
North Fort Worth ls Isolated and
live hundred houses are submerged.
Mineral City, near Weatherford, is
under water, and Clobourne, soul h of
here on the Santa Fe, is surrounded
by the Joed. lOngtncer IXIUK and
Fireman Allsop were found dead un
der their engine. Their train left tho
track in a washout a mile north of
Clebourno.
The flood sn ff (Mers have been pro
vided with shelter. Crops over a
large aren have been dost roved and
tho lows will reach over half a
million dollars. All night the police
fired a continual volley of Fhots to
warn resid? ats in the flood district

The flood rou-lied Fori Worth
about noon Saturday. At that time
city park and vicinity was inundated
lo a depth ol about ten feet. The
tracks of the street rad v ly company
leading to Arlington Heights was
washed away for a quarter of a mlle,
and communication with that section
of the city was out off.
Fully three thousand persons,
principally of the poorer classes, were
driven from their homes, in the sub
merged district. Many of these are
being eared for by charitable organi
zations nt the expense of the city.
The reservoirs ami mains of the
water works system woro overflowed
with the muddy water of the river,
and beforo thoy can be cleared it m

While an accurate estimate of tho

ed tho other day of a prominent

his intention to support Bryan this
year, not withstanding the face that,
he has voted the Republican national
ticket all his life. Roosevelt ls too
spasmodic and the American people
do not want another Administration
such as his present one. Bryau ts
hones'!, he ls big enough to occupy
the position of chief executive of tho

regard him highly for his intedrity
and this year thousands will vote for
him who have Heretofore voted the

Capt. Thrower believes that. South

he firmly believes that Bryan is the
choice of the overwhelming majority
