HARTFORD, Conn, June 26.-The death

only one man the legislature can legally
elect to the lieutenant governorship and
that is G. A. Bowen, the Republican cam
didate at the last election. Another blow

DELUGED THE LAND

WORK OF THE STORM AT CHEROKEE.

Over 100 Houses Swept Away - The
mense Damage in the Sioux Valley
Comparatively Few Lives Lost-Only
Twelve Reported SO Far-TerribIe Ac-
cident on the Ohio River-Five Per-
sons Drowned, Three of Them Women
Other Casualties.
SIOUX CITY, Ia, June 26-The storm of
Tuesday converted the Sioux valley into a
great lake. The valley is one of the most
fertile sections of this part of the country,
and is thickly settled, numerous town be-
ing scattered throughout its length. The
damage done will run into hundreds Of
thousands of dollars. Aside from the loss
sustained through the sweeping away of
houses, barns and cattle, there will be
heavy losses to farmers by the total de-
struction of great fields of wheat and
corn. Although the flood came rather
suddenly the people m the valley were not
taken by surprise, as riders were immedi-
ately dispatched to carry the warning.
An Irresistible Combination.
Had the flood occurred in the night there
would doubtless have been great loss of
life. The OVERLOOKING of the banks of the
Little Sioux and Floyd rivers was the
primary cause of the food. This was sup
plemented by a cloudburst at Lemsrs, Ia
The combination was an irresistible one,
and it was not long before people in the
valley were fleeing to places of safety, in
many instances driving their cattle before
them. The tidal wave did not reach Sioux
City until yesterday morning. 1t did not
come with a rush, but gradually over
flowed the banks of Floyd river and ex-
tended over to Leeds, manufacturing
suburb. Several big factories were sub
merged, and the little town is now under
about two feet of water.
The Railways Heavy Sufferers.
On the Ononawa branch of the Illinois
Central railroad, which follows Little
Sioux valley, the track is washed out in
many places, and several miles of track
are under water. Next to the Illinois Cen
trail the Omaha seems to have been first to
suffer. Its tracks are washed out at Le-
mars and as far north as Sheldon. The
Chicago and Northwestern reports heavy
floods all along its Eagle Grove line, and
numerous washouts in the vicinity of
Sutherland and Paulina station. The Hi
nois Central will not be able to get a train
out of here until Saturday night. The
other roads may begin running trains to-

to that Of DR.. Cronin. The only difference
was that Kendall was killed by mistake
for a man named Green, who WIS connect

others in the schooner Jacmel in the inter-
