Worst Flood in the Towns History-A
Baby BraveIy Rescued.
BRADFORD, Pa, May 81 The worst
flood in Bradford's history is rushing
through Tuna valley. Twenty streets con-
tiguous to the creek are inundated and
hundreds of families are in the swim. The
east and west branches of the Tuna are
both transformed into good sized rivers.
Below Foreman street, at the confluence
of the two streams, the flood is quarter
of mile wide and is high enough to ruin
all the carpets in the houses on Hilton
and other streets in the lower part of the
Sixth ward. The Douglass dam is partly
torn away. Weaver's ice house is in ruins.
The North street bridge is gone, and sew
eral railroad and street bridges are in dam
ger.
In the Sixth ward twenty families were
taken out of their houses in boats during
the night and on Clarence river, and Hill
ton avenue rescue corps with skiffs res
cued as many more. Luckily there were
no fatalities. An 13-months-old baby fell
into the East branch, and was being swept
away in the current. Thomas Potter
leaped into the creek and after desperate
struggle, saved the child.
Webster street is navigable by boat.

way are in a till worse condition.
The fire alarm bell was sounded yester-
day morning ut o'clock and the firemen
were called out to help people from
their houses. They did excellent work. A
