ton of the city began moving out of
their houses Saturday evening and
yesterday some of the belated ones
were compelled to take their house
hold goods away in boats. The water
in some places on the island is ten
feet deep and more, and it is there that
the biggest damage will result as re-
CARDS residence districts in the city.
Several truck patches are also under
water, as well as two or three good
corn fields, aggregating probably thir-
ty acres.
The West End.
The residence district lying near the
Milwaukee junction is being protected
from inundation by the ability of the
Milwaukee dump to Withstand the at
tack of the waves. The water, how
ever, is backing up through a slough
near the Curran ice houses and is fill
ing some of the streets in the district
between that point and the junction.
The houses standing in the lowland near
the City Water Supply company's race
just south of the junction depot have
been abandoned as far as the lower
floors are, concerned.
ne Business PORTION.
In the business portion of the city
perhaps the firm most affected is the
Iowa Steam Laundry Co., although few
if any of the business houses in the
three blocks between Washington and
Green streets have escaped. In, the
basement at the laundry plant the wa
ter is. five and one-half feet deep. In
Graham's barber shop the depth Of the
water is a few inches.
Damage in East ottumwa. ~;
A levee was built west of the Nor.
rell ice houses near the packing plant
this morning and this work saved the
Morrell firm considerable damage, as
it held the water away from the cellars
and Ice houses. The feeding grounds
east of the packing plants were par
TALLY abandoned, and the stock was re
moved yesterday from the lower pas
ture to the higher land. -"
Residence Property Damaged.
Not a little damage was done just
east of this pasture land, where sever
al families reside. Gardens were ruin
ed and the water reached the floor of
a few of the houses.
Cave-in on Hayne Street.
On Hayne street, short distance
east of Vine street, is cave-in which
threatened this morning to menace the
whole road. The water backing UP
under the small Milwaukee trestle just
east of Vine street, played havoc with
the soft earth there and undermined
| it under the sidewalk. There is con-
siderable water in Hayne street from
one end to the other, although the
houses are not affected to any great
extent.
At Foot of College Street.
At the foot of College street the
small dwellings which stood on the
bank of the river when the river was
at its normal stage were several feet
from shore this morning. In the
houses standing just north of the Wa
bash trestle at this point the water
stood from half foot to two feet deep,
and in Mill street there was half foot
of water.

seriously and the loss will be heavy.
The main road from Ottumwa to Ed
dyville is impossible, being several
feet under wafer in many places.
Where the road to Chillicothe branch
es off the main road, about three and
a half feet of water flows across the
road, and nearing Chillicothe and the
north approach to the bridge, the wa
ter is from five. to fifteen feet deep.
Today it is necessary to go the road
on the south side of the river to get to
Chillicothe, and to drive to Eddyville
it is necessary to take thesnorth road
by way of Kirkville.
On West Second Street.
The high water is first strongly no.
ticed after crossing the Milwaukee
tracks an the west end of
Ottumwa On the south side
of Second street the water sur
rounds the residences and the cellars
are entirely filled. At Caldwell's Grove,
where Saturday game of baseball
was played, nothing but water could be
seen today. This state of affairs ex-
lists from this point, with the exception
of two blocks west of Ford street,
where the land is higher, until the
Driving Park grounds is reached.
From this place on for some distance
no great damage is done, as the
ground is much higher. @
9 West of the City.
The first severe loss is on theefarm
of Thomas O'Brien, a short distance
west of the city. Thirty acres of corn
on this place are entirely under water
and will suffer a total loss. The prop
erty owned by the heirs of the late Ed.
Rector, and occupied by Thomas Skin
ner, was also heavy loser. Seventy
eight acres of corn and eighteen acres
of oats were flooded James Shields
residing six miles west of the city,had
sixty acres of corn, which he says was
an exceptionally good crop and would
have yielded seventy bushels to the
acre. This with twenty acres of wheat
was covered with water.
Near chilIicothe.
Nearing Chillicothe the bottom land
was all flooded and it was impossible
to see the amount of damage done.
About thirty acres of wheat and thir-
ty-eight acres of corn, belonging to
Joseph ingalls,, were badly damaged
by high water. j. B. Kroeger, who re-
sides close by, also lost twenty-five
acres of corn. H. P. McFadden, fifty
acres, Yves Parks fifty acres, Joseph
Jewett ten acres, James Mitchell fifty
acres, John McGrath fifteen acres, Jo-
siah Middlesworth forty acres, Daniel
Clifford sixteen acres, Eli Harshman
thirty acres, Hugh Strain seventy
acres, ]. M. Mitchell sixty acres, and
w. M. McElroy twenty-five acres, are
some Of the heavy losers in corn. On
the W. M. McElroy place sixty-five
acres of hay and corn were damaged
by the water.
Much Corn Lost.
Frank Bier lost seventy acres of
corn and thirty acres Of wheat on his
farm four miles west of the city. VIM.
Powell was another victim, losing sew
eral acres Of wheat on account of the
high water. John Waddington, who re-
sides on the south side of the river.
