The floods this year are worse than
ever known to be-a number of lives and
millions of dollars worth ofproperty and
stock have been lost, and the water is
still raging. The telegraphic news OF the
IA, inst. tells of distressing accide nt,
which occurred ten miles West of Helena
Ark, resulting in the drowning of a
family of seven Afro
Sanders, consisting of husband, wife and
five children, who were in a fiat boat,
endeavorlng to: reach tbs hills for safety.
Unfortunately they had in the boat a
large bull, which they valued highly.
When within mile OF the. hills, the bull
which was almost famished, attempted
to eat the small limbs OF the willow trees
through which the boat was being labor.
zously pushed. its action tipped the
boat and frightened the occup ants, who
madef'ant effor;sto righ,it. In the excite
ment the animal kicked the side of the
boat to pieces and the entire family was
drowned. This is only one of the MANY
'causalties which happen every day.
