THE DAKOTA FLOOD.
Further Details OF tine Destructive
Overflow.

Sioux CRY, April There are indica-
tions of gorge In the Missouri river reach.
ing from point fifteen miles above this
city, at least as far as Springfield, Dakota,
seventy miles as the crow flies. Most Of the
bottom land from Eve to fifteen miles wide
is flooded by the gorges. The town Of
Green Island, Neb., opposite Yankton, has
been swept away. The inhabitants could be
seen from Yankton clinging to their houses
as they foated of. A large amount Of stock
is supposed to have been drowned. All the
bottom lands, which are well settled, are
flooded. The river steamer Western sank
at Yankton, and the steamer Fontanelle met
the same fate six miles above. The boats
in the harbor at Yankton are so broken up
by the ice that none of them will be ready
for service for sixty days. The ]. g..
Bachelor is also reported lost.
All three are total wrecks. The steamers
above 1ankton are left In bad shape on the
bank by the subsiding of the water. The
river Is now falling at Yankton and points
above. At Vermillion, thirty. Ave miles
northwest OF this city, the water was ten
feet deep In the principal street at noon to-
day. all the inhabitants have gone to the
bluff back of the town. At last accounts
the gorges still hold fast, and the river is
running across the bottom land. At this
city the river is rising slowly. A rescuing
train for the inundated districts win leave
this city to morrow.
ST. PAUL, MINI, April la special dis
patch to the Pioneer Press from Sioux City
says the gorge broke at Yankton last even
ing, the water falling six feet an hour and
receding slowly. At last accounts there
had been no loss of life, but the damage to
property was estimated at $4,000,
principally railroad and steamboat prop
erty. The town Of Green Island,
opposite Yankton, was entirely swept
away last night, every building being broken
up and fioated off by the ice. One man was
carried away on floating house. The
food reached VermiIlion, driving out the
telegraph operator, and nothing further has
been heard from there, though it Is certain
that the gorge holds at that point.
