A SUDDEN FLOOD.
Three Persons Killed and Many In

Three Persons Killed and Many In
jured at ST. Paul.
A sudden food OF St. Paul, Mimi, besides
doing great damage to property, caused the
death of three people and the fatally wound
ing Of number of others.
The killed were: Mrs. August Adams,
Mrs. J. Horn, William Erciger.
The fatally injured were Philip Stroe.
her and fve-year old son. August Adams,
Frederick Kreiger, Paul Keuk, Henry Lud-
wig, John Which.
The accident was the result OF the late
heavy rains Upon the hillside above Page
street was deep gully, the natural outlet OF
the water from the country above. A year
ago Page street had been filled up across this
gully, leaving small culvert to carry of
the ordinary water. This culvert ha long
ago been choked up, an the recent storm
had filled the deep basin to the brlm,
making q lake two acres in extent and forty
five feet deep.
A crack three inches wide appeared on the
lower side of the fill, but no one thought or
any danger. Suddenly the fill let so. and
the body of water swept down upon the low
land below. In ten minutes the whole
thing was over. A general alarm OF
fire was sounded, and all the ambu-
lance and patrol wagons in the city we're on
the scene Men, women and children were
fished out Of the debris for nearly half a
mile To add to the horror OF the scene the
water bad carried away the gas pipes and
LETT everything in darkness. The loss to
,roparty will amount to $4,000.
