Rescue of a Family.

hGSCu0 OF a r dIIlllys
There was a disastrous oloudburst on
Benson Creek, Franklin county, Ky at ar
early hour Wednesday morning which cost
at least nine people their lives and destroyed
vast amount of valuable property.
Benson Greek empties into the Kentucky
River at Frankfort draining large part Of
Frank in county, the land along the creek
being low.
The cloudburst filed the whole country
with raging mass OF water, which swept
everything before it. The dead are:
James Bradley. farmer, his wife and
four children: Mrs. Bryant, a widow, ana
two children. The bodies OF all except two
OF the Bradley children were recovered.
The scene along the valley for five miles was
heartbreaking.
The frat news OF the affair was received
through note written on scrap OF paper
and attached to a stone which was thrown
a,ross the Kentucky River. Relief parties
were soon formed, but on account OF the
still swollen condition OF the stream, 1t was
impossible to make much Roadway In search
ing for the unfortunate people.
Tho Louisville & Nashville Railroad cross
es Benson Creek four times, and the bridges
we're gone, making 1t impossible for the
trains to reach Louisville from Lexington
by way OF Frankfort.
Mrs Bryant kept tho toll-gate near the
creek, aud just across on the other side was
the homo of James Bradley, and nearby that
of Squire Dan Moore, Mrs. Bryant's father
Squire Moore's house was also washed
away. but the o 4 man was rescued.
The Conway house, Just above Mrs.
Bryant's house, was the first to so. The
timbers and other debris struck the bridge
lust below and swept it away. The iron
rails for forty feet back Of the sbutment
the Louisville b Nashville bridge were twist
Cd in two AMI dragged down the stream
with the bridge.
BRAVE RESCUE.
James Sudduth lived just below the bridge
and to him belongs all the glory OF the day.
His little house gave way to the mad rush OF
water but he managed to rescue his wife
and children.
The railroad embankment next the pier
kept back the flood at that point higher
than the roof OF his little home Tho water
and bridge timber broke open bis stable and
let out his horse.
When he swan out OF tho house to his
stable through Ave feet OF water his hors
was gone. He swan to the higher railroad
bank. climbed hillside at an aogle OF 40 de-
grees and brought down 1t and neighbor's
horse. On his back. through tho torrent,
an at the first streaks of daylight, Sudduth
made his way to his little home. wife
had climbed with the children to the roof.
He took his wife first, and placing her on
tn, railroad track between the two streams
went back on the horse and got all three OF
his children.
The rains were general in other parts OF
the State, great damage being done in
Fayette county.
