Waler-SpOU TUESDAY evening party OF
seventeen Bohemians, en- route to Dundy
creek, camped in Richman canyon, half a
mile from Republican river, nine miles
east of this place. At dark q heavy rain
set in, and about 10 o'clock a water-spout
burst short distance above flooding the
heretofore dry canyon to q depth of fifteen
feet. This came down the canyon, the
waves each rising foot or two higher than
their predecessors. The party was asleep
in their wagons. The one nearest TO the
bed of the stream was occupied by John
Wacek, vile and son the center one by
John 0smer, wife and four children, and
two other children; the third occupied by
Joseph Havelic, wife and three children.
When the flood struck the wagons Havelic
was the first to arouse. He jumped up,
grasped the wagon tongue, and attempted
to pull the wagon out of the water; but
fresh waves struck it, Wrestling the
tongue from his grasp, and carrying
the wagon out in the raging flood.
Osmer had already jumped to his wagon
and succeeded in getting four children to
the shore; but before he could return to the
wagon it was carried down in the seething
canyon. The first Mack knew of the stu
alton he was sailing down stream. Seeing
a tree just ahead, he babe wife and son

the tree. He succeeded, but the sudden
stop shook off his wife and son, and they
went down in the flood. Mack climbed
into the tree, from which he was rescued in
the morning. Havelic and Osmer finally
found the residence of Simon Jennings,
half mile off, and made known what had
happened. Word was sent to 1ndianola,
and by noon 100 people were searching for
the bodies. Up to tonight but two of the
eleven bodies missing had been found.

\ Democrats Opinion of the Administra.
tons Work.
New YORK, May 2Sth.-The Herald
Washington correspondent interviewed a
well-knOwn Democrat, who said: " Fol
my part | would like to see the Admins

does In my judgment, if at the close OF
the Presidents term one-half the office
holders are Democrats and one-half re
| main Republicans, very great good will b.
achieved for the country. We have fel
the Inconvenience and mischief of having
all the off ce-holders of one party. 1t i,
not for the public good that it should be SC
and | do not believe it is for the good o.
the party in power"
