can be gathered. The damage to oats
and wheat in Knox county is estimated
at $4,000. Corn is hardly far enough

but it will be considerably affected. At
Pana stock was killed by lightning
and the streets of the city are flooded
to the extent that traffic is suspended.

acres had been covered by the over
flow Of Wood river, which is three to
six miles wide. Most OF this land Is
either occupied BY misunderstanding in
