ENIDUNDERWATER
Twelve Feet Deep in the Main
Street.
Fifty Houses Carried Away, But
No Lives Lost.

Enid, Okla, June 6.-Enid today
faces the most disastrous flood in its
history Following six hours rainfall.
Bosgy creek running through the city
this morning widened to from $50 to
1000 feet and flooded practically the
whole of Enid carrying away houses,
flooding stores and endangering lives.
Today water stood IL feet deep in
Main street covering two blocks Of
the business center. Fifty houses were
swept away and carried down stream
with the occupants who had been
driven to the roofs shouting for help.
Some families floated about at the
mercy of the flood waters and in the
darkness all night. All were finally
rescued at daylight and no fatalities
are reported. Today the water is re-
ceding slowly.
The heaviest losers were the Enid
Planning Mill company, whose ware
house containing $4,000 worth of
goods. was swept away. The Alton
Mercantile company, wholesale gro
GERS, the electric light plant. flooded to
a depth of four feet. leaving the city
without lights or street car service.
Both daily newspapers were put out
of business by lack of power. The
Rock Islands concrete bridge over
Main street was carried out together
with six other Rock Island bridges
within six miles of Enid. The Santa
Fe and ST. Louis & San Francisco re-
ports ali their lines denoralized from
washouts and bridges washed away.

tire country. In its petition 1t asks for
$4,000 back pay for hauling mail for
three months, which 1t claims it was
deprived of under the new order.
This is at the rate of $4,000 a year
for that one road. The other roads
of the country have filed claims with
the post office department aggregat-
ing almost s4,000,000, and their final
payment will depend upon the Chi
cago and Alton securing a favorable
decision.
The only question involved in the
case is whether the government is
now using the legal divisor in getting
an average weight of the mail.
Representative Victor Murdock of
Kansas first opened the subject in an
amendment to the post office appro-
priations bill two years ago providing
that in determining the average
weight of mail the total number Of
days mail weighed should be the di-
visor.
Before that the department had
been weighing for seven days and di-
viding by six, thus excluding Sundays
Murdoch wanted Sunday included in
the divsor.
Congress turned his proposition
down, but Postmaster General Cortel-
.you later issued an order putting the
&Murdock idea into effect.

fred Dreyfus last Thursday at the Zola
ceremonies in the Pantheon is rapidly
subsiding. 1t is now apparent that
the Clemenceau government does not
intend to play into the hands of the
nationalists by reviving the old Drey-
fus issue and the Republican press
generally is minimizing the Importance
of the outrage and ignoring the vapor-
fngs of the nationalist press.
Maurras and Daudet of LAction
Francisco evidently are disappointed
that they were not hauled up to ex-
plain their statements in this journal
that "a resolute patriot" had visited
them and offered to kill Dreyfus, but
that his proposal was rejected An
editorial was published declaring that
the cause of the king will soon over
throw the Dreyfus republic. He de-
fies the government to prosecute him.
The doctors have been unable to To-
cate the ball in Major Dreyfus' arm
and say that possibly it may have
been elected by the muscles of the
arm.
Friends of Gregoris advanced the
theory that he used wax pellets in
stead of bullets. These produce an
abrasion of the skin, but otherwise are
harmless. Some newspapers today
say that neither the revolver nor any
cartridges were found after the shoot
ing.

SWEEPS IT CLEAN
Tornado at Geneva, Neb. Carries
Death and Destruction.
Six Are Killed and Others
Seriously Injured.

Geneva, Neb., June 6.-At least six
dead, four fatally hurt and several
others more or less. seriously injured
is the result of fridays tornado.
which swept across Fillmore county
and destroyed everything in its path.
A list of the casualties follows:
The dead: --.-.--.
LULU SMITH, domestic in home of
John Shively.
IRENE SHIvELY, year old
daughter of John Shively.
ELIJAH ARGENBRICHT, two
miles east Of Shickley.
TWO. CHILDREN OF MRS. MALL,

Mrs. Elijah Argenbricht.
Ross Shively.
Seriously hurt:
Ed Fussel, farm hand on Shively's 8
farm.
John Shively and his wife.
A number of other persons are
known to have been injured.
The tornadoes, two in number, were
practically the climax of series of
western and southwestern Nebraska,
during the past two days. Starting in
the southwestern part of the country.
the tornado clouds became larger as
tney moved northeast, destroying eV-
erything in their path. Apparently sep
arating the two tornadoes in Fillmore
county swept separate paths across the
country, levelling farm houses, killing
stock and destroying crops. They rose
and fell at intervals, the first destruc-
ton being two miles east of Shickley
when John Argenbricht was killed in
his home and John Merriman fatally
injured Moving towards Geneva. the
velocity of the clouds increased until
they struck the ground half mile
west of here, entirely destroying the
home of John Shively. The four year
old daughter was instantly killed by a
Shively. received injuries from which
he probably will die. Mrs. Shively also
was dangerously injured and her hus-
band badly hurt. Lulu Smith, the do
mestic was in an upper room and her
body was found several hundred feet
from the ruins.
From the Shively home the tornado
swept to the northeast. The rain that
followed has swollen all streams.

LOSS IS MILLIONS.
Flood in Montana Plays Havoc With
Crops.

Butte, Mont, June 6.-With crop
losses estimated at from two-thirds to
total destruction in several of the rich
valleys of the state with damage to
railway lines, estimated more than
one million dollars, while the systems
scarcely can be put upon a normal
basis under two weeks. with from
5000 to 10000 passengers stalled in
this state, with little hope of imme-t
diate rescue, Montana tooay is ex-
periencing the worst flood in the his
tory of the northwest.
Shortly after midnight, the North
ern Pacific moved here to Logan many
of the westbound passengers stalled at
that point, but 1t is now impossible
to get train in or out of Butte over
any railway. The Great Northern
trains to and from Helena are tea up
near Basin.
The Northern Pacific officials frank
ly confess that they do not know
where their express trains are, nor
can the whereabouts of the oregon
Short Line trains be learned at this
hour The new roadbed OF the st.
Paul west of here is badly wasned out
in many places. The Butte. Anacon-
da & Pacific has lost four bridges be-
tween here and Anaconda.
Because of washouts on the Great
Northern, the Boston & Montana pro-
perties in Butte probably will close to-
night, throwing thousands of men out
of work here and forcing the smelter
at Great Falls, which employs thou
sands more to shut down. The heavy
snow which fell yesterday is melting
today under a drizzling rain and worse
conditions are looked for when this
additional volume of water reaches the
lower valleys. Butte is still without
street cars, lights and electrical power
of any sort. The damage in this city
has been slight, but the property loss
has been heavy on the lowlands west
and south Of here and loss Of life Is
feared The damage to the new road
bed of the st. Paul alone will probably
reach half a million dollars.
