KAW VALLEY DEVASTATED.
Manhattan Is in TitaI> Darkness, to
Add to Calamity

Manhattan, Kan, June mot since
the Galveston flood has water created
such terrible havoc and wrought such
terrible destruction of life and property
as has just been experienced in the Kaw
valley. of Kansas The territory affected
stretches from Brookville, Kan, to Kan
sas City, distance of 300 miles, by from
three to fifteen miles in width. Almost
the entire territory is submerged in water
from one to fifty feet in depth. The loss
to cattle, homes, barns. fences and crops
will run into the millions.
Boatmen who haYe reached here report
many persons missing. Probably 80 per-
sons were drowned in the country around
here. Manhattan is in the very center Of
the flood. The Blue river from the north
and the Kansas river from the west
which carries the waters from the Repub-
lican. Solomon, Saline and Smoky rivers,
besides several large creeks. met at the
eastern edge of the city. For the past
five days great volumes of water have
rushed together here which only the
strongest iron bridges have so far been
able to Withstand. The high railroad
banks of the Union Pacific and Rock Is
land alone have saved the city from be-
ing completely submerged Most Of the
are being taken care of in the Kansas
Agricultural college buildings.
RAINING SINCE THURSDAY.
The rain has descended here almost
steadily since Thursday. To add to the
calamity all wires are down and tonight
the city is in darkness. At noon Friday
the water subsidized slightly, but rose in
the evening at the rate of one inch every
five minutes. Men, women and children
were carried in boats and wagons to the
hills. Those who were unable to secure
transportation waded through the water
waist deep.
Over 1,5o0 people were housed in the
college buildings. Four births were re-
ported to have occurred during the night,
one of the little babies being drowned in
the engine room. Every store is filled
with water from one to ten feet deep. All
passengers are being properly cared for
by the railroads.

FIELD OF WHEAT GONE.
Near COweta, L. t., 700 Acres Be-
longing to One Farmer Were
Washed Away.

Muskogee, 1. T., May 31.-Al crops
in the river bottoms are total loss.
Near Coweta, in the Verdigris bot
toms, one farmer lost 700 acres of
wheat, which would have run from
25 to 80 bushels per acre. His loss
will amount to $4,000. The railroads
are still having trying time. The
katy" is still having flood troubles
with trestles near Checotah. An
extra freight train went into the
ditch there on account of the weak
ened track. A special Frisco train,
which took the Katy" tracks at vi
nita, went south through here in an
effort to reach Oklahoma City. The
Rock Island has scarcely a bridge left
in this part of the country, while
many hundred feet of track and en-
bankment have been either softened
until not fit for use, or washed out
absolutely by the rushing torrent.
The Frisco has Jared but little better,
possibly only because it has less miles
of track. Much of the embankment
has become so water-soaked that it
is dangerous to run heavy moguls
over it. Five bridges, two of them
iron, are said to be gone between An
adarko and Mangun, aside from nu-
merous small washouts.

also was ordered to take them off at the.
earliest possible moment. Word came up
from the stock yards that there are
twenty or thirty people caught by the
flood in that district. They were said to
be in no immediate danger, however.
HOUSES LOOTED.
Word was brought to police headquar-
tiers this morning that a number of men
were footing houses in the East Bottoms.
They had improvised RATS from boards
and by propelling them with poles were
making their way into the houses through
the second story windows. AS soon as
this word was received by Chief of Po-
lice Hayes he ordered a detachment OF
officers to the place with strict orders II
the story was found to be true the thieves
should be shot down at once.

BRIEF KANSAS ITEMS.
A Few Old-Timers.
