to the city for supplies, and stated that
he had considerable land above the
flood and if matters got to their worst
he was amply provided to care for his
stock. Before reaching the station Il
terrified buck crossed the track aud
ran into herd of cattle.
Here the train found food for its
mission. Three box cars stood upon
the siding; two of them were occupied
by the families of J. r. Chlzenhall and
man named Webster, who had taken
refuge from the flood. The train was
coupled to them and brought the Web
