the whites were routed and driven
back into the woods with a loss of tive
men killed. several others wounded
and two women. wives of the white
miners. were shot in the limbs but will
recover One negro was probably
fatally shot.
II is estimated that at least LOCO
shots were exchanged, but owing to
darkness most of the men fired at ran
dom.
The white strikers precipitated the
battle by making the attack. After
the fight, and when daylight came, the
negroes were crazed with desire for
revenge. and threatened to go down on
the flats. blow up the mines and kill all
the white miners. who number 125. and
their families. The guards, assisted by
Chief sullivan. had all they could do To
keep the negroes from carrying out
their threats.

ISOLATED BY mGH WATER.

Sioux CITY, Ia, June 27.-It is inn
possible yet to get satisfactory infor-
nation from the inundated valleys east
of here. IL is known that the worst
floods were in the valley of the Little
Sioux river and its tributaries, which
cover the counties of Clay, OBrien, Buena
Vista, Cherokee, Plymouth, Woodbury.,
Ida and Monona. Telegraph eommuni-
cation is still cut off. Between here
and the Little Sioux river are half a
dozen streams which run parallel with
it. and these are still raging torrents,
with all the bridges washed out The
officers OF the various railroad com
panies have not been able TO get infor-
nation from the flooded district.
The first reliable news of the loss in
the Little Sioux valley south of Chero-
kee was secured Friday night via
courier from Correctionville to Kings
ley. to which place the telephone line
was working. The story is that
at / o'clock Wednesday morn
ing a terrible rush of water
came down through the valley above
the mill dam ust above Correc-
tionville. The dam gave way and the
waters deluged the city. Many houses
in the lower portion of the town were
soon swept from their foundations. In
one house, a large two-story frame
building. were two children who were
drowned. The bridges of the Illinois
Central and Chicago & Northwestern
were destroyed as well as several fine
country roads. Many families are quar-
tered in the schoolhouse and in high
bri.k buildings Stocks of goods were
badly damaged. The railroads in all
directions from Correctionyille are
washed out; but it is impossible 70
guess the loss, as the water is still high.
