Refuge in Horse Car.
Miss Annie Noble. operator at the
Union Pacific railroad headquarters in
North Topeka. was forced to leave the
building when the water covered the
floor With her mother and young sis
ter the pluCky young woman took up
housekeeping quarters in an abandoned
horse car. This was good enough
shelter until the water rose a foot
above the floor of the car. but there
they had to stay until today, when they
were included among the rescued.
Near the Rock Island depot a pas

stalled by the flood The train came in
Friday night. The Rock Island in

Of here for two weeks or more after

at any time been in real danger, but
their real situation is anything but
pleasant. They are well cared for by
the road, and most of thSm have re

Some of the Victims.
Ats o'clock the first sight of float
ing bodies was seen. Fourteen bodies
were seen passing by the North To-
peka fire station. Soon after this it
was definitely ascertained that the fol-
lowing were drowned:
Karl RuD0-
OrVille Rupp.
Two Rupp girls.
G. H Carrots 5-year-old son.
Twenty unidentified bodies.
This represents only a fractional part
of the heavy loss of life. At a conserva-
tive estimate 200 are dead.
Where these bodies are nobody can
tell When the waters recede the
bodies viii doubtless be found at diff
ferent places miles down the stream
During the height of the rescue work
this afternoon man occupied his time
in going among the houses remaining
in North Topeka and looting them.
Police officers started after the fellow
with the intimatiOn that it would go
hard with him when caught. Instances
Of this sort are rare People give it as
their opinion that never in an event Of
this kind has there ever been a mini
mum Of this order Of crime.
As the numbe Of rescued Increase,
the supplies for their relief grow large
". Offers of help have been received
from outside towns.

His 16-year-Old sister. who was the
only one at home, saw his blood-stained
shirt and guessed what had happened
Pulling her brother into the house she
placed him on a bed and made him as
comfortable as she could. Realizing
that the services Of a doctor must be
had as quickly as possible, the brave
girl seized a bride and started for the
barn.
In a few moments she had mounted a
horse and was speeding toward Kamas
A doctor was soon on his way to the
ranch TO attend the wounded boy. The
girl telephoned the news to her brother
in Salt Lake and summoned her father
home. This done. she again mounted
her horse and rode back to the ranch
to attend her wounded brother.

young man, had scarcely arrived in the
city before he received the news of the
accident. Mounting "A Eorse he started

the ranch while his 16-year-old sister
rode to Kamas for a doctor.
Word vas received yesterday from
the ranch that the boy was getting
along as wen as could be expected and
the chances for his recovery are good
He viii probably be brought TO the hos
