kato now adds its name to the numer-
Gus towns suffering from the floods.
The Minnesota river is gorged for
miles, and the Blue Earth river,
which empties into the Minnesota
river in the south part Of town, over
flowed it's banks about a. M, and by
morning fully 100 families residing on
Poplar and Minnesota streets, were
hemmed in by the water which came in
torrents down the former street and
soon spread. Many pretty cottages
and 2-story houses were surrounded
with water which reached the win
dows of the first story. However, the
populace were not sleeping. and about
every dray and available vehicle in the
city were pressed into service
The gorge broke during the after
noon, and the ice and heavy current
are causing almost panic among those
unable to get out. Mr.. .Hous, an old
gentleman, was drowned while at
tempting to save woman and child.
It is feared that some of the smaller
cottages will be swept away. The
water is four feet on the level of the
street.

Refugees Lose All Possessions,
Barely Escaping With
Their Lives.
No Change for the Better Mo-

CARUTHERsvILLE. Mo-, March a.
The river rose here one inch and a
quarter during the last "a hours and
continues to weaken the levees. The
situation here is serious. The loss of
property and of live stock is frightful.
Even with the three relief tugs many
have lost all their earthly possessions
and barely escaped with their lives and
families. The crevasse just below town
is more than 1900 feet wide and the
water is pouring into the county. Con-
trary to expectations this water is now
driving families out in the upper end
of the county.
Every square inch of available room
is occupied by refugees from the
flooded districts. Only two houses are
above the water at Gayoso and all the
rest of that town has from four inches
zto six feet Of water.
