THE DYKES.

There is a large semi-circular dyke to
the south of the town. enclosing it on
that side, as the broken dyke did on
the north. Down the edge of the dyke
and in the town proper is a tangled
mass of trees, shrubs and brush wood.
Into the curve formed by the southern
dyke the bodies were carried by the
flood, and all of them are supposed to
be scattered along the southern dyke,
which is nearly q, mile in extent. No
attempt will be made to find the bodies
unless they come to the surface. until
the waters have entirely subsidized

three known dead, a possibility that the
list may reach 1,500 people in actual
need of the necessities of life. 700 home
less, and damage to the amount of
100000, is the net result of the flood
which swept through Shawneetown late
Sunday evening.
There is a possibility that the num-
Der of dead may exceed the list by a
small margin, but there is much I'M
certainty regarding the number of peo-
pie drowned with the exception of
these mentioned above, and there is no
ground for believing that others were
lost, save the statement of several ma
tives of ShawneetOwn that they saw
people I'VE did not know and we saw
them drowning"
There is no danger of further dam
age to the town, unless storms should
set in, and even then it is difficult to
see how matters can be made worse
than they are.
