Texas Floods Subsiding

Outlook Clearer and No Rain Near Dallas in Two Days

New York Tribune
August 1, 1902
 

Dallas, Tex., July 31. – Reports received here from the flooded district of the State make the outlook more hopeful.  The only unfavorable news comes from the Texas Pacific, near Forney, where Brushy Creek suddenly rose, washing out the railroad track and bridges and cutting off many people in the bottom lands.  Boats have been called for to rescue them.  The Texas Pacific is open west of here for through traffic, and all roads announce a resumption of traffic, although in some cases by a roundabout way.

There has been no rain in the vicinity of Dallas for two days, and similar reports come from many points in the State.
