RISING RIVERS.
Many Towns Threatened and Much Stock

Many Towns Threatened and Much Stock
Drowned in Illinois
OTTAWA, H., May Sat noon to-day
the Fox and Illinois rivers began rising
rapidly, The waters rising nearly two feet
between the hours of 1890 and o'clock.
From that time until o'clock the rise was
from four TO six inches an hour, aud reached
a stage higher than has ever before been
known il the history of this city. The en-
tire Illinois Valley, from the junction of the
Kaukakee and Illinois rivers to LaSale, is
inundated, and many thousands Of dollars
worth OF property has been destroyed. In
Ottawa several manufacturing establish
ments have been obliged t. shut down.
and the electric railway, some two
miles in length, is under water from two TO
seven feet. The people on the bottom
lands have been obliged TO Yaeate their
farms, and the water at 9 O'Clock tonight in
many instances was within but a few feet
of the houses. A rise of one foot more will
necessitate the abandoning of many houses.
A SWede named johnson was drowned last
evening while helping to remove some stock
from an island in the Illinois. The river
is over a mile wide here, and at Utica is
nearly up to the city. No serious damage
is anticipated to any OF the cities below
here, as the water has not risen over an
inch since o'clock.

White Shield, the Cheyenne chief, is the
leader Of the rebelious reds. Another cause
for alarm Is the fact that the new town Of
Cheyenne is being built on the site Of the
burial grounds of the Indians killed in the
battle with General Custer in 1863. The
Indians regard The building OF a town there
as a sacTeIige, and threaten to burn out and
