Refugees In Freight Cars.
Since the foregoing was written an
other break has occurred IN the leyee

inundated. The situation OH the east
side of the river is now reported as
very critical. Breaks in levees end

hourly. So far no loss of life has been
reported. A small break has occurred
In the Chicago and Alton railroad en-
bankment at Mitchell, twelve miles
above East st. Louis, and 1000 acres
of land were flooded.
Hundreds OF refugees from West
Granite sought shelter in freight cars
on the Wabash tracks. In anticipation
of such an emergency the Wabash had
trains of empty box cars shunted in
on the side tracks, and these cars, to-
gether with cars on ether roads in the
vicinity, formed shelter for over 700
families. Each family has the use or
a car. Many of the families have sue
ceeded IN saving some of their fur
niture and have hurriedly made them
selves as comfortable as possible in
their novel tempo airy homes. Long
trains of inhabited freight cars are
also on the sidings at Venice and Madi-
son.

which had been built around the north
ern end Of Creve Occur lake to keep
out the flood from the Missouri river,

narrowly escaped drowning. The levee
suddenly gave way and people climbed

uge. All were finally rescued. The
