A WATER-SpoUT-PARTICU OF TIE Sup
DEN FLooD IN THE REPUBLICAN VALLEY-Loss
OF MEN AND SToCK.-[From the Omaha
Herald, June 18th AT military headquar-
tiers we were yesterday favored with view
of report made by Captain Moore, of the
Third cavalry, giving the particulars of q
destructive phenomenon. The Captain was
scouting, and on the 3lst Of May he marched
down Blackwood creek about twelve miles,
and went into camp. ...t
He says: "About 9 P. n. terrible
freshet, without any apparent cause, swept
down the valley, carrying everything before
1t. Men, horses, and wagons were swept
along like corks. For five days previous we
had no rain, and where the water came from
so suddenly cannot yet understand. The
valley of the Blackwood is about forty-fye
miles long and about one mile and half
wide. This entire stretch of country was
one raging torrent at least from six to seven
feet deep, and how any man or horse escaped
is marvellous. The only thing, indeed, that
prevented total destruction was the fact that
my camp was surrounded by belt Of timber
on three sides, and as the men were carried
off by the current they were enabled to save
themselves by catching the limbs of trees.
When day broke on the morning of the
list of June, it showed almost all the men of
my company on the tops of the trees, with
out any covering except remnants Of under
clothes, and beneath them the torrent still
raging. After the lapse Of few hours the
water began to fall, and a few men who
could swim got to the hills. Afterward the
others, myself among the number, were got
of with life-lines and various other means.
Up to this time nothing was to be seen Of
what had been my camp except the top Of
an army wagon which had stuck to log on
the ground. and on this wagon were collected
eleven men, who were thus saved from
watery grave.
The settlers at the mouth of the Black
wood lost almost all their stock and proper
ty; the stock, however, was almost all re-
covered when the food went down. Six
men Of my company were drowned, and
twenty-siX horses lost. I remained at the
scene Of the disaster for four days, and re-
covered five Of the bodies Of the men and
almost all the equipments of the command.
shall not dwell upon the details of this
calamity further. It can only be understood
| in all It's dreadful magnitude by each one
taking 1t home to himself, and SO approach
ing nearer to just realization OF its import.
The men, though almost destitute Of clothing
| and ratlons, worked laboriously for four
days, recovering the bodies and property,
without murmur. The names of the men
| drowned were as follows: Blacksmith, Ed
ward p. Doe; priyates, Lewis Cohn, Theo.
dore Froendle, Denis j. Mahoney, William
q. Mars, and Daniel II. Taylor.
| The Captain, on his return, found all the
| creeks swollen, replaced some bridges which
bad been injured or carried away, and
learned that all the Indians In that district
were quiet and wished for peace.
