Denver Girl was with the party, and was
saved by the PEOPLE who heard her cries.

Ten Persons Drowned be the Inundation of
Kentucky Creek

A cloudburst at o'clock Tuesday morn
ing at Benson's Creek, four miles from

Mrs. Bryant, a widow, and her two small
children. Mrs. Bryant kept toll gate near

across from that OF James Bradley. The
Conway mill was just above, and was the
first to go. Its timbers must have swept
away the Bryant and Bradley houses, and
these houses struck the railroad bridge and
carried it away. All trains on the Louisville
