It is pretty generally known that Messrs. Ilearry Dillashaw and John Curry had a little outing last week and that they had quite time going to the reunion in county, and returing there-j from. But unless you hear Ihei story told by one of the boys, you can have but a poor conception ofj ilte teal terrors of that trip though rain and mud and across raging I waters. The boys left Bryan Tuesday I afternoon, loaded among other things, with 800 pounds of ice, the! contribution of Mistrot Bros. Co.

to the Leon County veterans in reunion. The windows of heaven opened up about the same time and begun to pour a flood on the two travelers. They toiled on, though, through the weary night, and next day uiitd 11 when they arrived at the reunion grounds. Here lliey found about 100 rain bedraggled people, and stayed with them until Thursday morning Then realizing that the I reunion was washed out, they started home by the 8an Antoinio crossing on the Nava.sota. At the foot of the hill before reaching tlie river, found the backwater from the river, and splashed though it, si.x inche.s to four feet deep from there to the bridge; crossed the slough bridge, with both ends of It afloat; crossed the bridge, and their team swam the! slough this side, but got through with the hack.

Coming on to Idt-! tie Cedar, they found it BOO yards wioe and the bridge gone: up it five miles and crossed by swimming it. They came down to! Edge and found the bridge across Big Cedar gone, and creek a mile wide. PULLED OUT OF A TREE. The boys spent the night at Edge and next morning joined in saving the lives of two flood sufferers, who were run up a tree by the angry waves of Cedar over flow. John Glover and Luther Sherrod had been in the back water in a skiff, on Thursday morning, and remained there all day and Thursday night.

Friday morning a party went to their rescue. They tied one end of a new rope to a wagon body and let it into the stream above the tree containing the two men. Carefully managing to get the two men in, and all were pulled to land by the party on shore. Before this expedient was tried, Mr. Wilson had tried to swim to them with a rojie tied to him, but failed.

The two men were exhausted and could not have held on to the tree much longer. This was Friday and Messrs. Dillishaw and Curry started again for home. They went up Cedar Creek hunting a bridge, and found all gone. They finally left team and buggy at Newt place in Robertson county and walked or wadeil to Franklin.

Arriving there, they asked the depot agent how long before they could get a train for Hearne. about ten days." Thus answered the depot i agent, much to the surprise of our travelers, who until then, had not fully realized the awful extent of the freshet, and began then to learn that the worst calamity in the way of a flood ever known in Texas, prevailed. They had spent all their for dry clothes, horse feed and lodging, and borrowed some rash at tlie bank. Friday njght there, they hired horses for Saturday to bring them home, and come to Bryan Saturday, horseback. Franklin they learned that the destruction to track and bridges on the I.

A' G. N. was awful. Did not learn whether the I. G.

N. bridge on the Trinity was gone or not, but learned that all bridges and culverts between Franklin and Hearne were gone. Lake Station, above Franklin, was completely washed away. The destruction to roads in Robertson county is described to be awful, Mr. Dillishaw says until they reached Wheelock, where they out of the sand hills, they had a fearful time.

They dug their horses out of the road down into the mud with a spade and reaching the horses feet, tied them together and rolled the horses over. The roads are washed out until they will never be traveled again. They are washed out until they are nothing but dug-outs, and new roads will have to be made. From Wheelock home, the roads were better, and the boys made good time, and reached home thankful alive. A CffLONH.

Ravages of a Twister Northeast of Bryan. Mr. Pete Stacey went out Sunday to investigate the retulis of the cyclone above this point which has been briefly mentioned in the Eagle before. He found that on Wednesday evening about dusk a cyclone passed northeast of Bryan and cut a path about four feet wide as clean as the street removing the grass from the ground and the corn in its path from the fields. Mrs.

house, with the family wUhin, was moved fifteen feet. 1 he people in the house were thrown down, hut escaped injury. Ihe brick work including the chimney, was destroyed. The trees in the yard were jtulled up and carried away, one blown 150 yards. Rep of further freaks of the twister have been received, and it another hoiLse was blown down nearer town, but so far as could be learned no lives were lost as a result of the cvclone..
