LEVEE BREAKS AT
EAST ST. LOUIS.
10000 People Homeless as q Result
Of Broken Levee, and Probably
Many Fatalities 49, River
Reaches SO Feet

The flood, which played so much
havoc at Topeka, Kansas City and
other points in Kansas and Mis-
sour has moved further down the
river, and East st. Louis is now
battling with the rushing waters.
A late dispatch from St. Louis
on Wednesday noon stated that
the levce north Of East st. Louis
had broken and that 10000 peo.
Pile were homeless and fleeing for
their lives. The break occurred at
lao n. m. and was not entirely un-
expected, rs the river had been ris-
ing all night. Wednesdays daily
papers contained nothing definite
regarding the break, and whether
or not any lives have been lost, is
not known.
Predictions of the weather bureau
were that the height of the flood
had passed st. Louis, but the river
began to rise Tuesday afternoon
and by Wednesday morning n stage
of 3S feet had been reached.
The citizens of the three cities,
Venice, Madison and Granite City,
lying north of East st. Louis, have
deserted their homes.
The damage to crops in the Mis-.
souri, aud Mississippi valleys can
not be estimated. Millions of acres
of wheat and corn are under water,
the river being forty miles wide
at various points.
