Palmer oung People in Water.
Saturday night about 11 o’clock
a party of young people were re-
turning to their homes near Palmer
from Waxahachie, and when they
passed over the creek bridge at
Ike, they drove off into water
covering the road. The automo-
bile with its occupants, including a
young lady were washed from the
highway, and the young people
narrowly missed drowning, being
swept by the rushing water into.the
creek, catching onto the brush and
then climing to safety in the trees
along the creek banks They were
rescued by means of a rope being
carride to them after the water
had subsided somewhat early Sun-

Railroad Track Washed Out.
Italy, Texas, Sept. 28.—Untold
damage has been wrought by more
than fourteen inches of rain which
has fallen in this section of Ellis
county since Friday night, the heav •
lest precipitation, being registered
Saturday night. Chambers Creek
from Maypearl to the Trinity
River is' higher than ever before
and it is believe most of the
crops along the sWeam have been
destroyed. North o Italy the I.-G.
N. railroad track I is washed out
and a freight train caught in the
swirling waters went through a
bridge after the engine had clear-
ed;. The track is under water for a
long distance. At Milford a large
two-way steel bridge completed a
year ago over Mill creek went out
and reports from commissioners’
precinct No. 3 ireicate many small
bridges and culverts have been de-
stroyed. Newly constructed country
roads were damaged greatly in all
parts of the precinct. Between Italy
and Forreston more than 100 head
of cattle being pastured in Cham-
bers Creek bottom were drowned.
They belonged to JIm Lewis of
Bardwell. Other cattle were remov-
ed from the lowlands and saved
by the owners working late in the
night. Trains over the I.-G.N
were tied up here. The rain con-
tinued late Sunday to fall in tor-
rents with no sign of abatement.
Corsicana, Texas, Sept. 29.—Flood
levels on three fronts were drop-
ping late Monday and rising on a
fourth while Navarro county resi-
dents prepared to salvage as much
of their water-logged crops as
possible and estimate the damage
to crops, homes, bridges, highways
and levees.
Waters were falling on Chambers
Creek on the railroads and High-
way 75 north of town but the re-
cession was slow. Officials of the
Texas Electric Railway Company
said one of their bridges' would
have to be replaced and extensive
farmers can hardly be estimated. Many small bridges
and culverts over El is County are missing, and the loss Rlainview,
to the county will be considerable.
