The railways in all directions are in

entirely flooded In some places entire
houses were swept away and large trees
torn up by the roots.
The reservoir was situated close to the
village of Bousey and was connected
with the canal De L'Este. The breach
caused by the rush of water is over 100

Witness in the Strevel Murder Case
Swears to One for Strevel.

Fort SCOTT. Kas., April 27.-Iu the
trial of Noah Strevel, charged with muir
dering his father, the defense introduced
testimony that the murdered man was a
party to the recent burning of his stock
barn and that he collected insurance
money on some blooded horses, grain
and harness that were not burned, but
were used by him after the fire.
1t is the theory of the defense that the
murder was committed by man en-
ployed by the old man, who set fire to
the barn, and the difference between them
arose over his refusal to divide the in
surance money.
A witness was introduced today who
positively made an aIibi for the ac-
