homeless, and not a single business
honse remains standing, and IL j,
feared that hundreds Of livel have

the water covers the country in one
grand lake, oven fifty miles across.

Reports from Jskuno, fifteen
miles above here, are to the effect
that the flood drove the people into
the tree tops, and many becoming
exhausted from cold and hunger,
dropped into the water and were
drowned. Reports from reliable
sources put the loss of life in the
valley anywhere from thirty up to

while stock and fences have been

5000 Cocopah Indians live, the
country is flooded for eighty miles

for refugees, it is reported that over
one hundred Of them have drowned.
The great valley Of the Colorado is
one vast sea Of water as the eye can
see in every direction. The river
has fallen six feet six inches in
thirty-six hours, and is now nearly
at a standstill. The water is thick
and threatens heavy rains. The
losses in this county foot up to over
$1,000, 900, of which the railroad
company will suffer to the extent Of

business in the shipment of stock. Six
or seven trains left the Belle Fourche
yards Sunday for Chicago.
General Passenger Agent Buchanan OF
Omaha was over the line Friday in his
private car, accompanied by his family.
Mr.. b. is giving his personal attention
to the passenger service, which accounts
in great measure for the popularity of
his line.
The family of Conductor Wright is
taking a trip through the Hills this
week, accompanied by his sister, Mrs.
Gleason, of Chicago.
Conductor Flanders is attending the
trotting races this week at Independence,
Iowa, and his run is carefully looked
after by Mr.. Sammons, whose regular
train is the ''owl-fyer" between Chadron
and Long Pine.
E. T. Irwin has been transferred from
Piedmont to Chadron, and promoted to
train dispatcher. Mr.. Irwin was one of
the most popular agent on this end of
the road, and his legion of friends are
glad to see him advance in his profess
sion.
E. f. Pontius is now agent at Pied
mont, being transferred from Humphrey,
Neb. He comes with good credentials,
having been in the employ of the Elk
horn for years.
