A DAKOTA THAW.

Omaha, Neb., March 18.-Special
kilograms to the Bee from all points In
the northwest indicate that the bonds
Of water were simultaneously broken
today and the streams that have been
bound in Ice for months were suddenly
turned to raging torrents. The worst
reports came from South Dakota. Along
the Missouri tonight the settlers are
fleeing In the darkness from the rapid
ly increasing floods, and nothing defi-
mite can be told further. The snow that
capped the state lay from four to six
feet deep on q level. Two days of warm
weather with two nights Of rain have
set this all running to the river. At
Pierre. the Cheyenne and Mad rivers, at
Chamberlain the White, at Yankton the
Big and Little Sioux rivers lower down
and the Floyd and Sioux City are pour
ing torrents into the Ice in the Missouri,
which has not yet broken. The low
lands are flooded and the rivers are rls-
ing at frightful rapidly. All the worst
apprehensions OF the winter seem to be
now realized. The Platter river swol-
len to more than Its usual spring
heights, 10 running into the Missouri,
carrying with It the debris Of wrecked
bridges and farm yards in its valley.
