It is a task of great magnitude had is attended with untold difficulties. There is a shortage of horses to haul the dead and there is a shortage of willing hands to perform the gruesome work. The work of burying the dead is pro progressing - gressing progressing slowly, owing to the refusal of the men to handle the corpses. At nightfall three bargeloads contain containing - ing containing about 700 bodies had been sent to sea, where they were sunk under weights. Darkness compelled a suspen suspension - sion suspension of the work until morning. To To, - , To, ward night great difficulty was experi experienced - enced experienced in handling the bodies of negroes, which are badly decomposed. The work , today was still more difficult.

He reports that Beaumont did not suffer much from the storm. Two lives were lost from live wires. Last evening Colonel L. J.

Houston, Sept. 12. - A reporter has telegraphed from LaPorte the story of the robbery and mutilation of the dead and the death of the offenders. The ghouls were holding an orgie over the dead. The majority of these men were negroes, but there were also whites who took part in the desecration of the dead. Some of them were natives and some of them had been allowed to go over from the main land under the guise of "relief" work. Not only did they rob the dead but they mutilated bodies in order to secure their ghoulish booty. A party of ten negroes were re returning - turning returning from a looting ex'pedition. They had stripped corpses of all valuables and the pockets of some of the looters were fairly bulging out with fingers of the dead'which had been cut off because they were so swollen.

The prairies are covered with water and I don't think I exaggerate when I say that not less than 5,000 horses and cattle are to be seen along the line of the tracks south of Hitchcock. The little towns along the railroad are all swept away and the sight is the most terrible that I have ever witnessed. When I reached a point about 2 miles north of Virginia Point I saw some bodies floating on the prairie and from that point until Vir Virginia - ginia Virginia Point was reached dead bodies could be seen from the tracks ,about the prairie.
