Hundreds of Head of Live Stock

of Homes Carried Away Since
Rivers and Creeks Overflowed.
Bryan, Tex. Dec. 6.—A death roll
persons, with
scores of flood refugees in imminent
peril, and possibly a thousand others
marooned and suffering from hunger
and cold, was the situation indicated
by reports from the flooded Brazos
River bottoms in this section of South
Central Texas.
For more than fifty miles’ the
Brazos was three to five miles wide
and running at high speed.
About two-thirds of the dead are
said to have been negroes.
The couriers’ reports indicated that
the property loss will total $4,000,000
or $5,000,000 when losses along the
Brazos are added td the already
heavy damage in other parts of the
Btate.
Henry Martin, Vice-President and
General Manager of the International
and Great Northern Railroad, was
drowned at Valley Junction, near
here, while attempting to rescue ma-
rooned flood victims.- He went there
to personally direct the road’s relief
forces and was attempting navigate
a -boat alone when the frail craft was
upset.
Six members of the
life saving
stopped by high water at Navasota.
The boats were launched at that
point and started up-stream over the
flooded bottoms to rescue persons re-
ported clinging to trees and house-
tops.
Anxiety was felt for scores of ne-
gproes whom the boatmen reported as
having clung to trees twenty-four
hours.
Eight miles from Bryan, Lee Cort-
melia, an Italian, was heard calling
for help from his half submerged
cabin. Next morning the cabin had
disappeared. Cortmelia, with his wife
and several children, was drowned.
Planters inh the bottoms have re-
fused offers of rescue, sending out
but themselves remaining behind in
the water, tearing down parts of their
building to improvise platforms for
their stock. Anxiety is felt for some
of them. Seth Mooring was last seen
