WASH0UT At LAKE VIEW
Levee Breaks Carrying Away
Santa Fe Tracks.

Last night 200 feet of Santa F'e tracks
at Lakeview were washed out and to-
day no trains have been run over the
line between Topeka and Lawrence.
The trains have been run over the
Ottawa cutoff Nos. 113 and ia were
Ottawa and Florence. The Kansas City
plug was run over the Union Pacific
tracks. The ST. Joseph passenger this
morning went through to EmpOria, and
the Colorado express was made up at
noon to connect with the train from
Kansas City at Emporia. Two pile
drivers have been at work all day re-
pairing the track at Lakeview and by
midnight it is expected that the line
will be open.
Lawrence, Kan, July 12.-The Santa
Fe tracks at Lake View, few miles
west Of Lawrence, were washed out last
night by the break in the levee that let
old river bed. The Santa Fe has been
unable to run trains since last night,
but large gangs of men are at work
fixing the break.
The country in that neighborhood is
flooded as never before and many
houses were undermined, driving out
the inmates. Many fields of wheat in
shock have been washed into the lake
and corn fields are six to ten feet in
water. The loss will be heavy.

was accorded a great welcome from the

streets to Hartley hall, where he received
an address from the chamber of com

the peace which he had secured would be
lasting and mark the beginning of a new

In reply Lord Kitchener declared that

friends and relatives OF those left behind

respective roads to confer with. 1t was
reported that the N anagers and su-
PEI irtendents were themselves holding
a meeting. Another effort may be made
to find the railroad officials.
Finally it was learned that the man
ayers and superintendents were holding
a meeting in the Monadnock building,
there the meeting had adjourned.
The effect of the failure to find the
railroad men was almost instantaneous.
Word went out that a meeting would
be held at o'clock The object of the
gathering, it is said, is to carry an Off
cial strike order over the heads of the
officials. Sentiment was so strong that
the fear was generally expressed that
the strike, once called, would extend to
other unions not directly interested in
the freight handlers strike.
Action by the ice men today is re-
garded as indicative of this. The ice
men refuse to haul ice to preserve goods
held by the strike or to take ice to

When Mr.. Morton's drivers reported
that they could not pass the pickets, he
cried to his superintendent: discharge

He seized the reins of the first team

RECORD IS BROKEN.
City Engineer Says Water Made a
New Mark Today.

At II O'Clock this morning the city en-
gineer made another accurate measure
ment of the depth of the water in the
river, by means of his surveying in
struments, and reports that it stood at
5.3 feet above city datum. This is a rise
of As hundredths of a foot, or nearly
six inches, since yesterday.
This breaks all the records in the pos
session of the city engineering depart
ment by three-tenths of a foot.
The city engineers figures of 53 feet
above city datum is equivalent to Is
feet and inches above low water.
Manager J.. M. Patten, of the city
railway, denies the accuracy of the rec
ords kept by the engineering depart
ment of the city. He declares that the
year after the city railway built its
bridge which was 1898, the river was so
high that the driftwood floating down
stream caught on the cross braces un-
der the tracks of the bridge, and that
it was only by rolling the big logs over
and over tSat they could be showed un-
der the bridge.
.sThe river at that time" says Mr..
Patten, 'was two feet higher than 1t is
now. I do not rely entirely on the
height of the water at the bridge, either,

an attorney of this city who had been
held prisoner at the point of a re-
volver by Michael O'Keefe. a locomotive
fireman, in the latter's room since 1:30
o'clock yesterday afternoon, was res
cued by Sergeant Lee of the police force
this morning. Lee engaged O'keefe in
conversation from outside the room
and at an opportune moment Sullivan
grabbed O'Keefe around the waist and
held him until the officer came in the
room. In the scuffie O'Keefe fired his
revolver twice without effect. OKeefe
claimed that Sullivan was indebted to
hin in the sum of 81. 900. He invited
Sullivan to his room and held him until
this morning, threatening to kill him
unless he paid back the money. Sew
eral ineffectual attempts had been made
to rescue Sullivan during the night.
OKeefe, who is an old time Union Pa
cific fireman, is in Jail.

THEY STRETCH A NET.
Lake View People Make Effort to Save
Their Fish.

At Lake View the water has broken
down the railroad embankment east of
the station, and the Lake View custo-
dams have stretched a f1shnet the full
keeping the bass with which the lake
is stocked from escaping. It is feared
that this can not be done, and II the
river goes any higher, it is believed that
efforts to save the fish will be useless.
A telephone message received from
the lake late this afternoon stated that
the water is within foot Of the roofs
of the boat houses.
General Manager II. U. Nudge Of the
Santa Fe says that 1t will probably be
impossible to run trains through until
late Sunday Or possibly not until Mon
day.
A special train will be run to the lake
tomorrow to take down a large number
of Lake View club members who are
desirous of getting to the scene OF the
trouble.
Jess Elliott stated today that it would
take five years to get the lake restockad
with bass if those now In the lake
should escape.
Willard N Hall said at o'clock today
that the reports from Lakeview were
to the effect that the water in the lake
was up to the caves of the boat houses.
This would mean that the water is
about five feet above the usual depth
of the water in the lake.
1--WE have taken precautions SO as not
to lose the fish in the lake." said Mr..
Hall. Nets have been provided for
any gaps that may be in the bank and
it will therefore be impossible for the
fish to escape"

Lake View says that the water has risen
