Miles City, April 10.-The gorge on
Tongue river above town, which COM
pletely submerged that portion of town
south of the railroad track, was de-
molished to-day by the use of dyna-
mite, but unfortunately it formed again
near the mouth of the river, causing
all the northern portion of the town to
be submerged. One more foot would
have filled all the cellars on Main
street A number of houses are aban
doned and all the buildings down town
which have two stories are occupied.
Although the water is still rising, 70
greater damage is expected. No loss
of life has been heard Of excepting that
of Joseph Moore, who was caught in
the river yesterday at Joseph Scotts
ranch. when Harry Brown jumped in
to attempt to rescue him, when they
were both struck by a cake of ice, since
which neither have been seen. and it
is supposed that both We're drowned.
On account of the high water no
stage or teams have left or arrived
in town. consequently no positive news
can be obtained from outside. This
is the worst flood ever known here and
the loss of property, if not life, must
be great.

well store, which is in the center of the
town, rushed into the tipples and
opened fire on the thronged streets, the
news that Stevens, one of their number,
had been shot and arrested arousing
them to a pitch of fury They shot at
any living mark in sight and as a re-
suit among their victims are three
women, two of whom are white women,
wounded. and one negro woman dead.
The military, upon arrival. immedi-
ately arrested every deputy sheriff, in
Guiding Chief Deputy Cheney, all of
whom were disarmed and then released.
Chief of Police William kiely was also
arrested by the soldiers, and on being
taken before Colonel Culver, was dis
armed.
Frank Coburn, the local agent for a
brewing company, was standing in the
door of his bottling house near the Pen
well coal mine when bullet from the
Penwell tipple killed him.
Frank Landsworth is a grocer's de-
livery boy. He was delivering goods
near the Penwell mine and was wound
ed in the forehead.
Carrie Felix, waitress at the Har-
rison hotel. was shot in the side by a
bullet that entered the kitchen win
dow.
Albert vickers was wounded while
standing on the Big Four station plat
form.
Farmer George Kimball was wound
ed just as he stepped from Big Four
train.
Cyrus Strickler was struck by bull
let while sitting in the house of a
neighbor.
Cass Profitt was wounded in the
street
Mrs. Henriot was wounded while in
her door near the Pana mine.
The report tonight is general that
several miners are dead and dying in
the fields near mine No. 2, near the
Pana company. having been killed by
stray bullets. but owing to darkness
| it is impossible to ascertain the facts
| regarding the report. This impression
| is given credence also by the fact that
| dead negro miner was found after
| nightfall in the road near shaft No. 2.
The firing in that vicinity was general
and it is not improbable that a search
| in the morning will result in other bod
| les being discovered.
Coroner Bradley arrived from Taylor
| vile at o'clock tonight and the first
| inquest will be held tomorrow over
the body of Frank Coburn. who is the
son of ex-Sheriff Coburn. Until the
inquest is instituted it seems impos-
sible to secure the names of the five
| dead negroes.
