FLOOD IN THE MISSOURI.

The Big Muddy ON . Tear-Great Damage
Above sioux City.
Sioux CITY, Iowa, April 6-The flood ON
the Missouri Immediately above Sioux City
has been the highest and most disastrous
since the memorable inundatiou Of the
spring Of 1881. The region inundated is the
low ground on the Dakota side above the
Sioux river. During the breakup Of the
Ice two weeks ago an immense gorge
formed in the curved channel Of the MIS-
souri, below Elk Point. A dam was formed
and the whole expanse OF low country
OverfiOwed.e In every direction for miles
the whole country was under water. Elk
Point was diminutive island in q vast sea
OF angry waters. The country there is
thickly settled and many farmers had al
ready moved their live stock to the bluffs.
Just below Elk Point the county authori-
ties have dug an immense ditch along the
line Of the lowest depression, northeasterly
toward the Sioux river. to carry OF flood
waters. This ditch carries a food of waters
with great violence into the Sioux river
above the st. Paul railroad bridge. There,
was thus vast river several miles wide
sweeping across the low lands. It plowed
out the ditch and threatened to change.
the channel Of the Missouri in conformity
with it; tore away fences, hay stacks,
small Outbuildings and every thing in it's
way.
1t is now learned from Superigtendent
Beardsley, Of the Milwaukee Company,
that about four miles Of tho railroad track
was washed out this side Of Elk Point. The
violence Of the current may be inferred
from the fact that about mile and quar-
ter Of the track, including railroad ties
and iron, has been carried two miles away
from the roadbed and left in the fields.
The Sioux river, swollen by the food wa
tiers OF the Missouri, rapidly accumulated
o great mass Of driftwood and ice against
the railroad bridge. The pressure was
sufficient to move the bridge three feet
and would have swept the structure en-
tirely away but for the precautions taken
by the railroad company. However, it
will take two weeks to repair the damage.
Tuesday night the gorge, which caused
all the trouble, suddenly broke. The con-
fined flood rushed down tho stream like o
race horse and with an ominous roaring
sound. The rise here was ten feet in less,
than ten hours and the lower part Of the
city was threatened. Yesterday the river
fell some, but it is still very high. Above,
in the region Of Elk Point, the water still
stands deep on the low grounds and it will
be many days before it can be drained Of.
It is thought no lives have been lost.
