RADIO River Is Out OF Its
Banks and Rising Slowly

WINSLOW. Ariz., May 3.-The dam
at st. Johns gave way at O'Clock yes
terday afternoon and a great flood OF
water is now coming down the Little
Colorado River. The water is reported
to be twenty feet high and a mile wide.
The dam was fifty feet high and BACK
ed water for eight miles and was a mile
wide and averaged a depth or twenty
five feet. The water was used TO 1rri-
gate large body Of land
AT Holbrook, hundred miles north
OF ST. Johns, greal excitement prevalls
and it is feared that the town will De
damaged. The Santa Fe sent nrty
freight cars to HOlbrook, where the
merchants loaded their goods into the
cars. Every dam and every settlement
between Holbrook and st. Johns may
be swept away and large number OF
people rendered homeless The break
ing Of the st. Johns dam was caused
by the breaking Of the dam at Greers,
forty miles south OF ST. Johns, caused
by rains and melting snow In the
mountains.
ST. Johns, Ariz-. is located about
twenty miles from the New Mexico line
Hand is without railroad communication

flowing to the northwest.
Holbrook Is seventy miles northwest
of st. Johns, on the Little COLORADO
River. 1t Is town Of ESQ inhabitants.
the county seat OF Navajo County, and
is on the Santa Fe Railway. 1t is sew
enty-five miles from the New Mexico
State line.
HOLBROOK. Ariz., May 2.-The wa
ter in the Little Colorado River Is now
out of it's banks and is rising slowly. 1t
is not known whether the main food is
coming in a gradual swell or whether
the wall Of water from the burst
dams is on it's way down the valley to
the town In the darkness tonight
and with no means Of communication
with the upper river country it is i'm
possible to tell
Holbrook has been entirely deserted
tonight. people having left their homes
and climbed to the higher ground. A
special train loaded with household
goods and merchandise is standing on
the Santa Fe track at HOlbrook ready
to pull out the moment the water
threatens to inundate the town. But
one life has been lost so far as known,
that Of Mexican reported drowned at
ST. Johns.
The farmers in the Little Colorado
River Valley have undoubtedly suffered
great financial loss from the food wa
tiers and the situation may be much
worse there than apprehended.
Hope Is entertained that the waters
will not reach the residence portion or
Holbrook, but II the river continues to
rise, even slowly, there is no doubt
that the business section OF the town
will be flooded and perhaps washed
away. Every precaution has been ta-
ken to safeguard the Santa Fe prop
erty and ii is so situated that unless the
force Of the food is very great but
small damage will ensue.
