THE MISSOURI FLOOD.
rhe River Still Rising SIowly-The Sit
uatiOn Unchanged.

KANSAS CRY, June %.
The river is rising steadily. 1t has risen
six inches since midnight, The inhabitants
of West Kansas City are preparing to leave.
The water is now considerably higher than at
any time since 1881.
ST. Louis. June %.
The river is still rising slowly, but the sit
uation both here and in East st Louis is
practically unchanged. Threats were made
last night.to cut what is known as Madison
county dyke, high embankment running
eastwardly from the river for about
a mile and half and midway between
Brooklyn and Venice, but after a long and
angry wrange it was decided that, nothing
would be done until today. as the cutting of
this dyke would let more water in Brooklyn
and inundate all that part of the town already
submerged. The people were very deter
mined and guarded the levee all night with
shot guns and other weapons, but so far
known no attempt was made to interfere with
it. A dispatch from Bismarck saws the Vel
low stone river is already as high as it was
last year. kilograms from other places high
up the Missouri indicate that the usual June
rise has commenced and likely some part of
it will reach here before the present flood has
receded to any great extent. Should this be
the case the situation will become alarming
and the destruction of property along both
upper and lower rivers will be appalling.

Two Hundred Skulls Exhumed.
A CoLeorHA DISCOVERED IN DAKOTA
WHOSE HEArs ARE THgY?

Several parties at work on farm four and
a half miles south of Redfield. Dakota, saws
a telegram from Chicago, haze discovered an
old fort which occupied nearly two acres
and from which nearly 200 human skulls
have been exhumed. On an elevation OF
ground nearly $50 feet higher than the
surrounding country, and at distance OF
one-hslfa mile west Of the Chicago and
Northwestern Railroad, is a fort nearl,
round, and no doubt years and Years ago il
was the means of defence for some tribe
which was eventually over-powered and
massacred. This earth-work was thrown NJ
with ditch on either side, and ut one time
three feet wide and of the same depth. At 4
point on the south there is an opening. and
The intrenchments were dug about 20 feet t.
a valch that led to a small lake Il quarter o;
mile distant. The human skulls were found
at the western side of the fort, and tn,
mystery cannot be solved by any one.
In a space three feet deep by eighteen
inches square there were over dozen skulls
found rs il they were thrown in together
No other bones were found aud the only
solution is that the party was massacred and
left where they fell until the wolves had
picked the bones, when they were picked up
and hurried in one grave. There are thres
theories advanced: First ii is stated that a
party of nearly 200 people started from
Southern Wisconsin. and before they reached
the Missouri river were met by the savages
and many we've msssscred and the survivors
turned back into Minnesota; second, from the
skulls one wonld judge that the people weF,
taken prisoners and slaughtered. The reason
for this conjecture is that on nearly all, the
same side of the head is smashed in. Third
the trench where they were found is only ten
feet long and three feet wide, and it is not
known how many have been exumed, som,
saying that over $50 have been taken out
and almost all of them have double teeth all
round on the lower jaw, and AS neither In
diana or Europeans as a rule have teeth OF
that description, they probably date back to
the moand-builders. Some of the skulls
have nc foreheads, and lock like those Of tn,

any one ever seen at this age, while Others
are finely shaped. The correspondent had
an interview with Drifting Goose, sub-chief
of the Sioux tribe of Indians. but nothing
was learned. Not stone, Ratchet, button or
ANYTHING that could assist in identifying tn,
race they belong to has yet been found.

firearms freely. The conflict was only
quelled by the officers threatening to fire on
the men. One of tie men killed was sergeant.
The latest report in regard to the ARRAY at
