KANSAS CITY, Mo-, April %.
The Times Medical Lodge special gives the
following additional particulars Of the disas-

The town is situated between Medicine
river and Elm Creek. Early Tuesday morn
ing the flood came down the streams quickly,
overfowing their bottom lands to a depth of
10 feet In Elm Creek the bottoms east of
the town, dozen houses were entirely de-
stroyed and many of the occupants were
drowned or saved only by clinging to the
branches of trees. In camps in the bottoms,
were 10 or 10 emigrants wagons, filled with
families, and not half of these persons have
yet been found.
All of yesterday and last night the streams
were So high that no communication could
be had with the east and today the first des-
patches were sent out. The store in town
were closed yesterday and every citizen en-,
gagged in the work of rescuing the people BY
boats and RATS from their perilous position
in trees and housetops. This work was ex-
tremely hazardous and by night-fall there
wers still some left. Hundreds of cattle W ere
drowned and great fields of crops we're
ruined. The rise started at dark Monday
night and rain poured steadily six hours,
which was followed by a great cloud bur st
north of the town.
No news is yet received from the country
below here but it is feared there has been
very serious loss of life. The town conncil
speedily organized relief measures and sew.

THE JOHNSON TRAGEDY.
CorOner's Inquest of Rev.
}. &. JOhnsOa-A Letter Written
by the Youthful Murderer.

GREENWICH, Conn, April %.
Coroner Holt of Bridgeport began an in
quest this morning in regard to the victims of
the murder in the johnson family Yesterday
Rev. }. G. johnson, Congregational minister
of Rutland VT IAN uncle of Barclay johnson,
the young man who shot his mother and sis
ter and then killed himself, testified that
there was no hereditary insanity in the fam
lily of the young mans father.
For the last six weeks the Young man had
appeared somewhat peculiar. The witness
could not account for the insanity on the part
of his nephew except by excessive devotion
to office duties, which caused him to write
at night and caused strain on his mind.
When asked as to the truth of the reports
that the young man had been mentally dis
turbed on the subject of religion, the witness
said he thought any disturbance of that kind
as evinced by peculiar conversations on the
subject was the result of insanity rather than
its cause.
The witness produced letter written in
pencil upon note paper which was found in
the pocket of Barclay johnson after his
death. Parts of the letter were read as fol-
lows:
"If succeed in accomplishing what
think must be done, word or two of explain
alton will probably be of interest. l think
happier fate. If there is just and generous
God, these two will go to the happiness which
they deserve. If there is no God then they
will simply fine rest
At the close of the letter johnson wrote:
II am, conscious of the enormity of what
have done and intend to do, but at the same
time have a suspicion that l have become
insane. Why did not some one recognize my
weakness, my great need of help, and help
me while there was time? But to be fair
suppose should say: Why did not help
myselfT
intermediate parts of the letter were filed
with expressions of the writer's tender atfec
ton toward his father, mother and sister,
mingled with self accusations of all sorts of
the faults which his friends say existed only
in imagination
Having completed the hearing. Coroner
Holt returned to Bridgeport, where he will
file his report with the county clerk tomor-
row.
1t is reported that johnson showed signs of
disordered mind Monday evening. 1t is
said he showed to some workmen in his
fathers employ three bottles, which he de-
clared contained poison. and asked what he
should do with them. Thinking he was in
jest they told him to bury them, and it is al
legged he acted on this advice.
