MANY FLEE: THE
RISING FLOOD
Thirty Families Near MeckIing
Driven in Dead of Night
From Home.

Nermillion, S. D., Feb. 26.--With the
water knee deep In their sitting room
and steadily rising, John Peterson and
his Wife Sunday afternoon repeatedly
refused to leave their farm house, six
miles east of town. They declared they
would share the fate of their live stock.
party of rescuers in charge OF Louis
Larson was forced to leave them after
two futile trips in a rowboat. MIR. Pc
terson is so years of age. The rescuing,
party left them rowboat.
When the sun sank below the Nebras-
ka bluffs its rays glistened on a sea of
water covering all the lowlands for ten
miles west of Nermillion. A solid gorge
river has backed up until it extends
for over ten miles. blocking the channel
as far as Hagens bend, near Gayville.
All the farmers on the lowlands west
of town have moved back to the bluffs
and are staying With their neighbors.
AT the home of Ollie Lind the water is
said to have reached the roof, His
house stands in a particularly low
swale. six miles east of here.
Lars Mortnsen, a neighbor of Lind,
who reached Nermillon Sunday even
ing, lost thirty hogs in thirty min
utes when the water suddenly reached
his place.
road al Yankton notified all of the
farmers he could reach by telephone on
the lowlands vest of Nermillon that
a special stock train would be rum from
Iankton at o'clock and would stop to
pick up amy live stock that was in
danger. Thirty-two carloads left
Meckling Sunday for the Sioux City
and Chicago markets.
Parties who have Nentured out to the
ice gorge say it seems to be loosening
somewhat. Chunks are continually
breaking from the lower portion of
the dam and floating away A few
more warm days they thought, would
allow the dam to break up quietly with
little danger of a big rush of water
General opinion here is that the crisis
has been passed and that With a CON
tinuance of warm weather there will be
no more serious results. The river
above Yankton is reported to be near
ly normal and at Vermillion is falling
slightly.
Roadmaster Carlson, of the Mil
wauhee railroad, maGe a trip over the
line between Nermillion and Elk Point
Between Burbank and Nermillion he
found that in many places the flood
had carried the rails off the dump but
the rails had not been broken

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

Pierre, S. D., Feb 23-One of the
most important bills of the session
comes from the committee on judiciary
today. Ii proposes to increase the num-
ber of supreme court judges from three
to five and for this purpose redistrict
the state
One of the new districts would com
prise that part of the state lying south
of the southern boundary of Dawson
OF Gregory, Tripp and Meyer on the
west of the river. A new judge would
naturally be supplied from this district
Judge Hancy's district would extend
to the northern line of Lake and Miner
and on through west, taking in also Ly-
man on the west of the river. Judge
Fuller's district would extend to the
northern boundary of Deuel., taking in
also Sphinx. Faux. Potter and Camp
of the river.
Another New District.
Another new district would be formed
of Fulers district. including the coun-
ties Of Boreman and Dewey and
Schnasse on the west side of the river.
Judge Corson's district would take in
the big county of Butte on the north.
now sparsely settled. but while he
would have the smallest of the districts
from the standpoint of population, ex-
pansa will equalize it. There is said
TO be some politics involved in the
boundaries of the districts as provided
in this bill which will appear as the
discussion of the measure proceeds. 1t
is probable that another formation OF
districts will appear If the parties in
terested can get committee report
favorlng such bill.

Pierre S. d.. Feb. 26.-rhe death OF
Dowdell's uniform text book bill is not
AN absolute bereavement. as there are
more like it, and others Which look like
it but are different But none of them
will furnish the pyrotechnics which at
tended the progress of this bill through
the senate 1T is the one rea! fight OF
the session. 1t was a fight in the COM
mittee and the best that DoWdell could
get from this committee, which was
disposed to Kill il, was report without
recommendation. The suspicion of the
committee as we'll as the members of
the senate had been aroused through
the agency of the representatives of
The book trusts and every paragrap phi
of the bin was submitted to the most
thorough examination and criticism.
This made no difference to the senator
from Sanborn, who had been through
other wars and WAS prepared to fight
this one to a finish. He was told that
his measure meant cheaper books, like
they have in Indiana under the law of
which Dowdell's is a counterpart.
He Sent for Books.
He offered TO share the expense Of
sending for the books furnished to In

books arrived they We're found to be

At every turn Dowdell has added
