The work of clearing out the houses, which
are hrled with mud, has not yet commenced

OF those who have been driven from their
homes by the high water are in no oondi-
ton to stand the losses and It will go
hard with many of them. Many dis
tressing tales are told. A baby was born
last night in a tent and there are many
sick and old persons who are poorly
housed. The city and county authorities
are at work preparing for relief and the
expense will be enormous

be less than $500, 900.
The drowning of Tommy" Crooks, the
w%ell-known sporting man, who has en-
gagged in prize fighting and the promotion
of prize fights in Iowa, was the most
serious accident yet reported. He operated
a fine saloon near the Union depot, had a
number of good horses and at the time of
his death wore a diamond ring valued at
1875. Mortgages were filed today showing
that he had everything mortgaged and will
leave little property. He had been con-
spicuous for a number OF years in Des
Moines and had a fine family.
Everywhere in the flooded districts where
the water has receded the stencil from

are down and 1t will be necessary to pump
