MaTySvills, Kan.
GREAT DAMAGE TO PROPERTY
FARMERS TOOK REFUGE IN THE
TREEToPS.

z ARYSVILLE, Kan. Aug. 25.-A
M cloudburst struck in this vicinity
early today. causing the Big Blue
river TO rise sixteen feet within u few
hours and sending a great flood of
water south down the bottoms along
that stream. Many inhabitants in the
lowlands were driven from their homes
and heavy damage to property was
done. AS far as known, but one death
has been reported. Frederick Ivers Of
Baileyville was drowned near that
town, going down with a bridge over .
swollen stream.
Marysville was deluged and the bot
toms were filed with water from three
TO fifteen feet deep. Fifty houses were
almost entirely submerged, their in
mates taking refuge in trees and on
housetOps. Seventy-five persons had
been rescued in boats at daylight and
by noon twenty others were taken 10
places of safety. The storm washed
out the tracks of the Blue Valley
branch of the Union Pacific for sew
eral miles. and wiped out the telegraph
and telephone wires. cutting the town
off from outside communication until
late today. One Of the rescuing par
ties was headed by Congressman CAL
derhead. Tonight the river is falling,

Damage at Other Points.
South of here at the town of Blue
Rapids the Blue river rose TO within
few inches of the highest point in
the June rise, causing much damage
to farm property.
A wall of water struck Vleits, town
of 1000 people on the Vermillion river,
east of here in the same county, driv
ling the residents of the lowlands from
their homes. Previously the Vermil-
lion had risen four feet in an hour
and today part Of Vleits is five feet
under water. All the stores and per-
haps twenty-five residences are mum
dated, and the damage at that place
! is estimated at $4,000. The river is
three miles wide.
! Slight damage also was done at Mari
eta. north of Marysville close to the
/ Nebraska line.
! The same storm struck Seneca, in
| the next county east, where four and
/ three quarter inches of water fell. It
/ was the heaviest dOwnpour since 1893
/ and 10 left the Nemaha river the high

were inundated, the Grand Island rail-
way bridge at Beattie went out, and

FORT TAKEN BY
INSURGENTS
Turkish Population Along the
Frontier Greatly Alarmed.
REBELS GAINING STRENGTH
RUSSIA AGAIN ASKED TO IN
rERFERE.


sofia, Aug. 25.-Foilowing the de-
parture of the Russ IN squadron from
Inialda the insurgents attacked and
captured a fort there. The bands are
especially active around Losengrae'
where a number of villages have been
burned Revolutionists at Manila at
tackled $50 Bashi- Bazouks, who en-
trenched themselves in a stone tower.
The revolutionists blew up the tower
with dynamite at night and killed all
the Bashi- Bazouks.
The Turkish population along the
Bulgarian frontier is greatly alarmed.
The people have left their houses and
retreated into the interior. The IN
surgents attacked a Turkish frontier
post at Kobtschas and killed thirty-siX
soldiers.
Many Turks are attempting to cross
the frontier, but the Bulgarian guards
have turned them back. The insur-
rectionary movement is reported to
have gained strength, particularly in
the districts of Kukusch, Gerglele,
Enidje, Vardar. Voden and the en-
Virons of Salonica. Both sides are re-
ported to have lost heavily. At Sa
lOnica, near Uskub, the Turks attacked
the insurgents. but were Obliged to
retire in the face of bombs which were
thrown among them.
The Sofia Post, the revolutionary or
gan, states that twelve Servian Of
ficers have crossed the frontier to help
the insurgents.

ANOTHER BIG OIL STRIKE IN THE
SPRING VALLEY, WY0., DISTRICT

in the field and is placed all the way
from 80 to 200 barrel well. Your cor
respondent was on the ground today
and everything there confirms the
previous reports. From all appearances
several hundred barrels of oil had run
down the hillside and the rig was
smeared with oil in such a quantity
as TO indicate that it had been nothing
short of gusher. The owners of
the well were very reticent and would
give out no information whatever.
This strike has created a great deal
of excitement here, as il was made on
a section OF land included i'm the con
gTessiOnal land grant TO the Union
Pacific Railway company and which
was filed on and contested by the
above mentioned oil company. Under
a decision of the department of the
interior all land lin this grant not fully
patented is held open. until December
] of this year In order to give con-
testants time To demonstrate if it is
oil land. and this strike has demon
strated the fact beyond question. From
the present outlook. the railway com
pany will not be able to hold a single
section in the oil belt on which they
have not already received patents.
This makes the seventh producing well
discovered in the Spring Valley dis
trict.
