ant Situation Over There.
Omaha, April 14.-Piling and boards
and bags Of sand, old hay and stones.
are being fed to the hungry NAV Of
the Big Muddy at Omaha in an effort
to restrain the manifest intention of
that erratic stream to resume the cham
mel abandoned twenty years ago. At
nightfall it looked like the effort might
succeed. But all hope is hedged about
with provisos-that the river does not
rise any higher, that a north wind does
not blow, and most uncertain Of all
that the break in the bank above Flor
ence lake Is not so bad as the overflow
ing water indicates. East Omaha and
North Omaha are flooded by the waters
that are rushing from the Missouri riv.
yer. The residents fled for their lives,
leaving their possessions behind. The
houses are submerged in water from
one to five feet. Fields Of grain and
fences disappear beneath the surface Of
the water and the trees no longer show
any trunks. The flood is pouring In
upon the low lands Of the East Omaha
bottoms in a stream that is estimated
to be 1000 feet in width. 1t is sweeping
southeast and pours into Florence lake.
The water in the lake has broken over
the levee that was built to separate it
from Cut-Off- lake, and it is now rush
ing with ever increasing volume into
the latter.
What the Water Is Doing at Omaha.
1t Is sweeping over plowed and
planted fields. it Is driving resi-
dents from their homes in North Omaha,
1t is tearing up fences and threatening
the houses that stand from three to
four deep in the water. 1t is pouring
into Cut-Off lake just north of the long
bridge which leads to CORTLAND Beach.
In the last twelve hours Cut-Of has
risen almost two feet. If this rate coll
tinues 1t is anticipated that the lake
will soon overflow its southern banks.
If this should occur and the rise be
still maintained the entire southern por-
ton of East Omaha would be threat
ened with most disastrous flood, as
there is no elevation of the land 70
stem the outpouring.
The beginning Of the flood occurred
several days ago. For weeks past the
river has been rising gradually. 1t was
thought that there was no danger. The
levees would hold. it was thought. They
did hold until two days ago. Then the
mighty volume could not be restrained
longer. Two days ago the water crept
over the top of the bank in the bend
of the river just below Florence. 1t
came slowly at first, but 1t found an
other passage as time went by. Early
Monday afternoon the force became re-
sistless. A great hole was dug in the
shore. A fisherman's hut that appeared
to block the way was torn out bodily
and swallowed up by the river. The
water having chosen and made it's path
poured along in to the bottoms of the
south. The speed of the flood was
rapid.

EXODUS OF THE INHABITANTS.
They Leave Their Homes for Quarters That
Arc Not So Very Wet.

They Leave Their Homes for Quarters That
Arc Not So Very Wet.
At O'Clock Monday afternoon North
Omaha was surrounded on all sides
with dry land. At o'clock the people
in many Of the houses on the lowlands
were fleeing from their homes. Yester-
day morning this portion was covered
with water from one to five feet deep.
At present the worst of the flooded dis
trict is located just north of North
Omaha. At Sherman avenue a broad
stream has shot directly to the south
This stream just skirts the east of the
little settlement known as North Omaha.
1t began to creep along the bottoms at
o'clock Monday afternoon. 1t first
drove out Of their houses and from their
premises tree milkmen-Erickson, Lar
son and Milhouse. 1t swept a quarter
of a mile further south and there took
within its bosom a dozen cottages The
Rileys. the Petersons. the Johnsons, the
Schaeffers, the knapps. the Clarks and
several other families decamped about
o'clock. All these are residents of the
eastern part of North Omaha.
The stream then went on farther south
a distance of half mile and struck an
other settlement. The residents here at
o'clock began to move. Among those
who had to vacate were the families of
Thomas Plummer. Erick Peterson,
George Skinner, Milton Lylby,
Frank Burwell. Charles Frazer,
Charles Butcher. Enquis and Murphy.
All these people were forced to abandon
their houses in haste, some of them
with only their nightclothes on. Many
narrow escapes from drowning are re-
counted, Sb,lt so far as known no lives
were lost Efforts to recover personal
effects from the engulfed houses have
been of little avail.
Forces of workmen were hurried out
to protect the houses in the flooded dis
trict. and have succeeded in restrain
ing the spread of the water to the west,
confining ii to the channel cut from the
river to Florence lake and from Flor
ence lake to Cut-Of lake. This has
saved most Of North Omaha from d.
struction. Cut-Of lake at nightfall was
filling up rapidly, but could then ac-
commodate four or five feet more Of
water. 1t is held back by a strong
double dyke across its lower end. and
from there on to the river the old bed
is crossed by paved streets. street car
| tracks, railroad tracks, etc, all Of which
| present embankments Of from eight to
| fourteen feet in height which must be
| washed out before the Missouri can re-
| sumo its abandoned bed. There Is much
| anxiety. owing to the extensive proper
| tv interests involved.
