LOSS AROUND CHAPMAN.
WheatHelds Are One Vast Lake
Crops Badly Hurt.

CHAPMAN, July 1.-The damage to
crops and farm properties along the
Smoky Hill by the high water will
amount to q large sum. The damage
is increasing every hour the overflow
remains on the fields. A conservative
estimate places the amount Of wheat
that is . complete loss ct 1000 acres.
Besides this there are hundreds Of
acres OF wheat and orn that are
standing In shallow water and being
damaged seriously. II the water does
not run of soon the loss is going to
be much heavier than II Is OF present.
The Smoky Hill valley has been hit
nearly as severely Is It was . year
ago. The water has not been nearly
SO high but after last years food the
farmers along the river succeeded in
getting in . big acreage Of corn and
from 1t in Q little way repaired some
Of their loss. But this year II is too
late TO plant corn.

cutting q l4-inch joist and striking
the roof. Charles Winsler was
hit .on hip and ankle by flying
pieces but only slightly bruised. It
was a narrow escape. The bursting
Of the wheel was caused by the gov.

CINE to run wild. A piece also hit
one Of the governor balls on the big
engine used in the refrigerator de-
partment causing the steam to escape

SOME OUT TO STAY OUT.
Enterprise Farmers About Discour-

Enterprise Journal: Again the peo-
pie Of Enterprise and the surrounding
country are suffering the losses and
inconvenience Of a flood. Although
the water is not as high at the present
time as was the case last year, chances
are favorable for its reaching last
years record, and the amount Of
damage to crops has surpassed the
damage done in this county last year.
The damage this year attributed to
the food consists Of more than crops
overtlowed. The excessive rains have
made it almost impossible to cultivate
the spring crops, and SO far it has
been an impossibility for farmers to
enter their fields with harvesting
machinery. Wheat is said to be
down, moulding and rusting.
Farmers along the river were sue.
cessful in getting their stock and
families to higher ground. The fam
lilies living in the bottom north of
town moved their household goods,
chickens, hogs and whatever other
stock they had. 1t was the wise move
to make, ever though it seemed very
discouragipg. Some who moved out
have concluded to stay out.

MUD GREEKS BLUFF.

Mud creek is a big buffer. All
day Sunday it promised to do some
thing and never made good. There
was . hard rain Saturday night from
Longford to Abilene and west to New
Cambria. This sent the water 10 the
creek booming and II came down In
the same kind Of . muddy current
that has become 90 familiar TO the
people Of the city.
Some one started . wild and Woolly
story that the Manchester dam had
broken and an s-foot rise was com.

broken and more than that the tels-
phone line was down and no message
came over Il. But the story spread

The stream rose within about six feet
Of the bridge floor. then went back to

RIVER Is SLOW.
Falling With Extreme Moderation
and Dignity.

The river fell an inch at Sand
Springs last night, II inches at Solo
o Q inches at Browns mill. 1t
changed very little today and does
not seem to care whether 1t ever goes
back to it's channel. The farmers
southwest Of town have given up hope
Of saving any wheat that is in water
and the corn is likewise severely il
not totally damaged.
The river is still making trouble
for Santa Fe and Rock Island OF
Enterprise and the latter is out Of
business because O.. the cut through
its track.
Many farmers tried to cut wheat
yesterday but found the ground too
soft to hold the machines. A little
outing was done on the north line Of
the county. Today more were able
to enter fields.
A machine was started In the fields
south of the college on the hills yes
tsrday but the wheels went in three
inches and nothing could be done.
Even such grain that is cut shells out
badly.
Among farmers south Of town who
lose are: W. II. Broughton 80 acres
Of wheat, Geo. Rush and NJ. B.. Ham

Plight Of Abilsneites In Crossing

W GAy9W WoVVAes
Some Of the Masons who attended
the Cuban funeral in Rhinehart
township Sunday afternoon had Q
strenuous time. There were five In
the party. They went on the Union
Pacific train to Chapman and were
taken to the river bridge in boats.
From the bridge they were taken
q half mile In other boats and so
reach buggies provided on the other
side Of the stream and its overflow.
As they left the stream they had to
drive through nearly q half mile Of
water that was from hub to box deep
and along a narrow ridge in the road
on either side Of which was q deep
ditch that would have taken In the
whole vehicle.
Joseph spanglsr and J. E. Keel
were in one wagon and had no trouble.
In the other we're Judge Moore, J.
Johntz and P. Il. Halleck. On the
return trip while driving through the
long pool over the road the driver
got o little off the road and whipped
his horses to prevent their being
drawn into the deep water. The
whifletree broke and the wagon was
left twenty rods from shore in water
two feet deep. The Abileneites waited
in vain for help and then took of shoes
and stockings, rolled up trouser legs
and started for shore. They made it
all right and just at dusk took the
boat ride over the wheat fields for a
mile or more, which they describe as
most delightful one, the water be-
Ing still and shining like the surface
Of q placid lake.
