They left here Monday morning with ''Queen" and "Jude," two of Coleman's bloodhounds They report a very successful run. They were on the I scone by 10 o'clock and struck a i trail in a few moments. The i scene of the attempted uiurdor and < robbery is just outside the corpor ' ation of LaFollette. The officers | examined the ground and found where the scuffle took place. A 1 few steps away was found the t empty pocket book of the wounded i man. At this spot the dogs struck ' the trail, and were soon yelping i away on the tracks of the suppos- i ed perpetrators of one of the most 1 bold and cowudly crimes in the * history ef the county. "In aboyt two miles," says 1 Officer Coleman, "we came to a ' house where a prominent .nail liv- 1 ed. Here the dogs dumbfounded ' the crowd which wus following us by trailing up into tha porch. The * man who lived in this house was * a prominent Odd Follow, but the 1 dogs do not have to contend with c the character of men and their 1 keen scent is no respeclor of per- * sons. Like some contagious dis- ( euse thoy steal upon their victim, no matter who ho is. The sher- ' iff and others were much excited 1 at this manoeuvre and insisted ' that this must be a mistake.

Dallas, Tex., July 25.-?The heavy rainfall in west Texas which is characterized as the worst ever known continued today, and at Stephensvillo three lives were lost in a rushing torrent of water. Several houses were surrondod by mc tioou unci li. Whitley, in attempting to rescue his family, was drowned with his little daughters. Later iu the day Assistant County Attorney Gardner was drowned in an attempt to rescue the same family. One of the bodies has been recovered. Cloud burst was followed by cloud burst in West Texas, and lakes aud seas of water have inundated the country, causing great loss to the railroads and interrupting traffic aud travel. The worst feature is that the "rain continues to descend in torrents as far cast as Weatherford. The downpour is the heaviest over n corded in I West Texas, which is subject to protracted droughts that are generally broken by heavy rains, which gorge the canons The water 111J the Pecos valley country is felt more than ever known. Several washouts have occurred on the joint tracks of the Texas Pacific and Soulhtrn Pacific railways between Sierra lilanca and El Paso, and south of Sierra Blanca the Southern Pacific has sulfered. It is doubtful it" the Peeos valley load can be put in condition to move trains under ten days or two wct'KSj oven should the rain cease now. Railr. ad officials report that as fast as track has been washed away or bridges destroyed they have been replaced only to be again destroyed by the swirling waters. There has been no through travel since Tuesday. At San Martine, Toy ah, Pecos, Odessa and other places washouts have occurred and the country is under water in all directions. Every exertion is being put forth to repair the damage and restore normal conditions, hut until?the rain ceases nothing permanent can be accomplished. Sumnierville Has Another Big Fire.
