Williamson place, about three miles be
low here, where the crevasse occurred
last spring there IS a small opening OF
about 200 feet, through which the water
will come II the river gets five feet
higher. and this much IS predicted by
Observer Miles. A great deal Of cotton
will be ruined, as there is still a great
deal in the fields unp. eked. People hav-
ing cattle in the lower end Of this coun-

them to Helena for safe keeping. The
levee has not been repaired on account
of the bad weather.
EVANSVILLE, Ind, Jan. 23.-River
men reaching port today say last
nights storm was the worst on the river
in twenty years, yet no serious loss Is
reported to steam craft. A house boat
occupied by Geo. A tkirs and his two
young daughters, just above the city,
was swamped during the night and the
occupants took refuge in a large sktT.
The boat was anchored TO a tree near
the bank, but the land around it was
overhoWed for half mile in all direc-
tons When the unforturates took
refuge in the skif the darkness and the
storm evidently bewildered them, for
they never reached The shore. Today
their skiff was found floating near their
swamped home half filled with water
and three occupants dead in the bottom
of the little craft. They died from ex-
posure.

still somewhat crippled, several Of the
lines being abandoned, and the service
on those in operation is still very ir-
regular. Armies of snow shoVelers are
at work, and all the lines are expected
to assume their normal condition to-
morrow.
Linemen in the employ of the tele-
graph companies have been hard AT
work since daylight, and many Of the
broken wires have been patched and
made ready for business.
No serious mishaps to humanity In
this city are reported.
The Chicago train on the st. Paul
road, due here at midnight last night,
encountered a drift of snow on the out
skirts Of the city, and not before two
engines were called into requisitiOn
was the train hauled TO the depot sew
en- hours late. A train on the Mil
waukee, Racine & Kenosha electric
line southbound with 127 passengers,
mostly women, got as far as St Fran
els, suburb OF Milwaukee, and could
proceed no farther. The passengers
remained in the cars all night.
CHICAGO. Jan. 23.-The snow storm
of last night and this morning was the
worst in this city for many years. The
greatest damage, as well as inconven-
ience was caused by the breaking
down of telegraph and telephone wires.
In this respect the damage was wide
spread, and in all parts of the city poles
and wires were brought TO the ground
The police telephone system was badly
crippled and there was much trouble
with the city fire alarm system.
The street car service, which last
night was badly delayed and totally
suspended on some Of the lines, was
in better running order today. The
companies, by keeping the snowplows
and sweepers going all night, managed
to keep their lines open.
All the incoming trains on all the
roads were from one TO four hours late.
Station Master CIithers, of the union
depot, said Saturday night was one of
the worst railroading nights he had
ever known. On account of breaking

Burglars and the Telephone.
(From the Chicago Inter Ocean.)

ttrOm the CEicago inter ocean
Robin Hood was considered a very clever rob-
ber but beside the modern thief he was 4
guileless child. Your up-to-date robber uses all
modern inventions and conveniences. His latest
feat is to discard the revolver and the sandbag
for the telephone. The police have been inform
ed OF this new wrinkle in burglars tools, and
hereafter every man caught with telephone Is
likely TO become an object of suspicion.
Yesterday afternoon about 4 O'Clock III. b.
Leavitt. a druggist at Hill and Wells Streets,
answered the telephone and was asked to call
John Olson, OF S6 Hill Street, Just around the
corner TO the telephone. The druggist de
spatched his clerk to the Olson fat and the
lad soon returned saying was at home.
The answer was communicated to the man wLo
was ''holding the wire'' at the other end of the
line and the druggist thought little OF the ei--
cumstance at the time. A short time afterward
Leavitt. in answering the telephone, heard a
feminine voice The woman said she would like
to talk to some member of the Olson family.
''Be sure and find whether anyone is at home,
she said for il is very important"
Leavitt's clerk pounded the Olson door for sew
eral minutes, and the feminine voice thanked the
druggist for his trouble, when the information
was impaired that surely one was at home
When Olson and his wife returned home late IN
the evening they discovered that their fiat had
been searched and over 500 worth of silyerware,
ewelrv and clothing had been taken. Olson
dropped in at the corner store TO tell his woe,
and then Leavitt recalled the two conversations
with the persons who had been so anxious to be
certain that Olson was not at home.
