Sioux CITY, Ia, May 29.-The Mis-

and since yesterday morning has cut $50
feet into the shore of the Nebraska side,
directly opposite this city. The cutting
was so rapid that buildings could
not be moved, and a two-story
building owned by Nick Peyson
is hanging over the water
and will fall soon. If the cutting keeps
up at the same rate the entire town of
Covington will be swept away in few

engaged and fall into the rapid current
every few minutes. Several years ago a
good share of the original town site was
engulfed, and last summer large tract
on the Iowa side was swallowed up.
