entirely washed away. Trains east of Elk Point
have been abandoned, and only local trains

road bridge across the Big Sioux river has been
carried away. The people OF Jefferson are NOV
ing TO the neighboring hills, aud the water ID

great damage TO live stock has been done.
There is Il heavy gorge above Fort Randall
which Is momentar1ly expected 10 break. Tho
ice is heavier than during the great food ct
1881, but as the ice only broke up for a distance
OF IS miles above hankton, its damaging force
