Hodgkins AT Cooper's store Wednes-
day evening wherein Peter Schapp
Miami Indian, was united in the
holy bonds to Miss Julia Stafford, a
Quapaw. The parties had already

peace and dignity of the United

his usual elegant and impressive
manner. There were no brides

it was as happy an outfit as one
would care 10 see. We wish the
happy couple many returns and

APPALLING ACCIDENT.
INDIAN CREEK RESERVOIR IN
IDAHO BURSTS.
A Great Wall OF Water sweeps Away
tho Town Of Nampa-At Least Fifty
Houses Ruined and Many Families
without shelter and Bedding.

Boise, Idaho, March 15.-News was
received in this city last even
ing that Indian creek reservoir had
broken its rocky barriers, and was
sweeping down upon ranches and vii
lagos, carrying destruction and ruin
in its path.
The country between Bysuka and
Caldwell Is all under water. Every
railroad bridge between Nampa and
Bysuka Is washed out, and many miles
of railroad track submerged, which
will prevent trains from running over
the Union Pacific short line for many
days The dam broke about noon and
messengers were sent at breakneck
speed on horseback to warn settlers
and urge families to hasten to places
of safety. A mighty wall of water
came sweeping down Indian creek
bearing on its bosom houses, sheep,
calves, barns, farming utensils and
submcrging whole farms. Citizens Of
Nampa, q little town on the Short
line, saw the approach OF the devas-
tating waters and fled to high ground.
Soon all the lower part Of the town,
including the railroad tracks, was
under water from five to twenty feet
deep. Fifty houses Mt least are
ruined and many families are without
shelter and bedding.
Merchants are loaning blankets to
destitute families and provisions are
being furnished to those in need. II
Is reported here that two men were
drowned. one willie attempting to
save his property and another who
rushed to his assistance. The cause
of the disaster was warm weather,
coupled with heavy rains. which
caused rapid melting of snow in the
mountains. Snake rose eight feet to-
day, fact unparalleled rs far Us the
memory of the Oldest inhabitant runs.
