WICHITA, KANSAS, April 13-Reports
reached hers late last night OF new
danger confronting the boomers. The
Oimarron river is rising rapidly and
sweeping everything before it. A boomer
named Gordon concealed in the bushes
near King Fisher was caught in the
quicksand and drowned and his team
swept down the river. Two railroad em-
ployes wore reported to have drowned ct
Guthrie.
There is now but one place that the
river can be forded and that ia near
Guthrie. The Importance OF this be-
comes apparent when II is remembered
that there are no bridges at Oklahoma
ard that this stream must be crossed

pitiable that oculd be imagined. Tbs
torrents OF water that swept over the rails
knocked the men from their feet, ard
threw them violently against the sides.
The seas continued to break over the
vessel, and it was not long before several
men were swept over her side. As soon
aa they touched this water they swan for
the Nipsic, which wss the nearest object
to the Vaudaia. Most Of them reached
the Hipaip, whero they grasped ropes
hanging over the side and attempted to
draw themselves upon dock. A number
succeeded in doing this, but others were
80 weak that inter- hanging to the ropes q
few minutes their grasp was broken by
the awful seas which crashed against the
side of the vessel, and they would fail
back into the current.
During the remainder OF the afternoon
there followed succession OF awful
scenes OF death and suffering, and after
the vessel filed and sank the only part of
her hull which stood ont of the water
was the after part OF the poop deck and
the forward pRrt of the forecastle.
