from various towns on the upper river
that the raging waters have swept away
number of houses.
There are reports of loss of life at
some places, but these have not been
confirmed. The streams between Muir
freesboro and Bellebuckle, Tenn, ad-
vanced so fast that occupants of many
houses were obliged TO seek sa fety in
the second stories of their homes until
the flood had receded. Much property at
Mt. Pleasant, Shelbyville and Murfrees-
boro was damaged, but no definite state
ments as 10 the amount can now be
given. Several hundred people at Mt.
Pleasant were forced from their homes
by the flood, and took refuge in the court
house.
Three lives were lost in Giles county.
John Cole and his family, who resided on
Richland Creek, near Pulaski, were
driven to the roof of their home to es-
cape the rising water. The foundations
of the structure gave way and the family
were thrown into the flood. Mrs. Cole
and her two younger children were
drowned. The remainder of the family
escaped. The damage at Murfreesboro
and other portions of Rutherford county,
is estimated to be a half million dollars.
