DeadWood, S. d., June 7.-As re-
suit of the heavy rainfall over the
Black Hills, which has continued for
nearly week, Whitewood, Deadwood
and Choke creeks, three streams which
pass within the city limits, have left
their banks, carrying away a number
of barns, sidewalks and outbuildings.
The White building, one of the most
substantial in the city, was wrecked
and the city hall greatly damaged.
One large building was carried away.
Two lives are known to be lost
Matthew Bender, a young man of Gem
ter City, who was drowned in an at
tempt to save property, and Guy s,
Boudy, farmer, near Sturgis.
No trains have been able to enter
or leave DeadwOod since Friday on
either the Burlington or Northwestern
on account of washouts. The damage
was greatest at Central City, nearly
all the business portion of that town
being washed away. Halt a mile of
Northwestern track was swept away
and the Columbus Mining company's
plant nearly destroyed.
A large number of homes at Gay
vile, a few miles distant, were carried
away and the lower part of the town
Is under water. From reports thus far.

tary attache of first class power has
telegraphed here that General kuro-
patkin's headquarters staff has moved
forty miles south Of Liaoyang to a
point between Haicheng and Dashit-

cred to possibly foreshadow severe
fighting in the northern part of the
Liaotung peninsula, but it is a mistake
to assume that his action involves a
change in the position of the Russian
main army, which, according to the

Kuropatkin has been subjected to
considerable pressure to help relieve

As the waters subside the great

month has practically ruined many OF
them. much Of the soil having been

so long that the farmers believe that
crops are completely ruined. The loss
