A well-known Irishman, who
is now dead, was more than like
ly to be seen at the funeral of
his acquaintances, or even at any
prominent Hlberian though he
might not chance to know the
deceased personally. Walking to
his place of business one morning
he met funeral procession
which by its length proclaimed
itself to be that of fellew.coun
tryman. AS he waited for the
cortege to creep by, some delay
stopped its slow process, and see
ing that the hack opposite him
had but one inmate, he stepped
in. Soon after the carriage had
started he said to his companion ::
wv hose funeral is this sir!i The
man looked up in surprise.
Sure, | don't know" he replied :;
"Ol'm only out for "A roide like
yesilf."

lie were transported from their

pie were transported from their
perilous positions to places Of
safety on land. Every house,
drift, pile and tree was closely
examined in search of the dead.
The family of Wesley McGill, re-
ported yesterday as drowned, was
found safe. The only bodies
found during the day were those
of Mrs. Fannie Rufin and five
children, all lodged in a pile of
driftwood. These, with George
Owen, the butcher, drowned
while rescuing others; Frank
Meyers, Mrs. Jane Watt, Mrs.
Francis Moore, Mrs. Drummond,
Mrs. Dennis and child and Mrs.
Watson, are the only identified
dead, though many are still miss
ing. During the day systematic
relief was perfected and carried
on. Ferries piled across the
river, carrying provisions and
clothing everywhere, and return
ing with the injured. The latter
were carefully cared for in prI-
vate homes in Guthrie. By night
fall ample arrangements had
been made for the immediate
care of the homeless, and there
was an assurance of no further
suffering at least for the time be-
ing.
Five hundred homes were swept
away, fifteen houses where wreck
ed and twenty stores devasted,
leaving 900 people homeless and
half as many destitute. The
work Of supplying shelter and
food for all these was by no
means a small undertaking. But
the Guthreites were equal to the
task, and tonight thousands Of
dollars have been subscribed to
aid the afflicted.
The damage along the Cimar-
ron River east is very extensive,
and hundreds of farms have been
devastated along Deepfork, in
Lincoln county. Hundreds of
men worked all day rebuilding
houses along the stream.
The damage to property will be
in the neirghborhood of 5000, 900,
while that sustained in crops may
equal or perhaps double that
amount.
