SWEETWATER FLOODS.
Streams Of Fremont County Swelled by
Melting Shows.

Word comes from Lander of great
floods on the Sweetwater and its tribu-
taries. The new bridge built last year
by Fremont county at Myersville has
been carried away and the report says
that the water is higher at that point
than ever before known in the history
of the country. The Passengers and
mail have to be transferred, both to and
from Lander. Great floods are report
ed in the Beaver, which heads leaf Min
er's Delight, and considerable apprehen-
sion is felt by people living along the
Little Popo Agile, Big Popo Agile and the
North fork OF the same stream. An ice
gorge is feared near Lander, which il
formed will be liable to flood that town.
The Popo Agies are the real headwaters
OF the Missouri, and they are feeling the
effects OF the greater floods on that
stream. Little and Big Wind rivers are
on a rampage, also the Big Horn. These
excessive floods are caused by the I'M
usual depth of snow on the Wind river
rang.
