OPEN DOOR A FARCE
Trinity River Rises Again and Condi
tions Are Serious.
Fort Worth, Tex., May 2S. With the
waters of the Trinity river still near
the summit of the banks another great
volume of water began pouring from
the west fork of that stream toward
this city late last night. Early today
the riser is rising at a rate of six indies
an hour, and with such conditions as
already prevail, the outcome when the
crest of this second rush of waters
reaches this city cannot be foretold.
That considerable additional property
loss and suffering will result is consid
ered certain.
A serious situation has developed
here in regard to the city water supply.
The mains are filled with black, muddy
water, unfit for drinking ccn after
being boiled The city authorities de
clare it may be a week before they can
restore the normal water supply. Mean
white, those who can afford it are buy
ing water from private artesian wells,
and those who cannot are drinking the
water that comes out of the mains.
Thirteen men. women and children
were caught in the overflow in the Den
ton river. Their condition became so
precarious that they were forced to
hold the children upon their shoulders
to keep them from drowning. They

frcm the use of the glasses the effect
was not noticeable, but the experts on

were having terrific effect upon the

Compared with similar distances in
Missouri and Texas, the rates of the
Pacific express company are extreme.
For 410 miles in Missouri the general
