Conditions are ripe for a big flood

OF four and Ave years ago.
The June rise. is due, caused by
the arrival here OF the water from
the melting snow and ice in the north
and to this accumulation OF water
may be added that from the torrents
Of rains. Yesterday and today there
were heavy rains here, which IL but

would cause the river to make con

ever, no damage has been done In the
vicinity of the city although It is fear
ed that II the water goes much higher
the city park and river roads will be
inundated. No serious damage has as
yet been reported from any quarter.
Mt. Pleasant Journal: One OF the
worst rain storms known in years
occurred here last night. The down
pour was such that sewers were I'M
able to carry off the water. As re-
suit many easements OF business
blocks contained several inches of
water this morning. The unusual
downpour so rapidly filled the water
works ponds that the big overflows
were unable to handle the surplus and
the dump house part began to fill with
water. One large belt was put out OF
commission and as result it is not
probable that street lights can be used
for night or two. BY opening the IS
inch mud valve in the bottom of the
| pond, the rising water was finally
checked when within two inches of
! the exhaust pipe of the engines. All
of the creeks in this vicinity are rum
ming high and quite little damage is
being done.
| Fort Madison Democrat: Marion
township was visited by a severe hail
storm Monday night, which damaged
oats and wheat fields quite badly. The
vicinity of Denmark was also visited
by a hailstorm, but no damage is re-
ported. The hardest down-pour of
rain this year fell at Fort Madison
| Monday night. The rain set in about
$50 o'clock in the evening and con
| tinued almost uninterruptedlv until
| 1890 o'clock. Considerable fell at In
| tervals during the night after that. Be
| tween s and 10 o'clock there was a
| continuous downpour. accompanied by
| binding flashes or lightning and dear
ming blasts of thunder. The flag pole
on the Fort Madison High school

about II O'Clock Monday night and the
upper one-third of the pole torn into
splinters which were scattered al

Perhaps No Trouble.

=
With few more hard rains along
the big river during the next couple
OF weeks, there may be trouble this
month. but If the 81 will dry up and
there is nothing to contend with ex-
cepting the northern snow and Ice
water, the bottom land farmers will
likely escape any serious trouble.
The Quincy Herald of last evening
said ct conditions:
Keokuk and the Des Moines valley
had one Of the hardest rains of the
year last night. the rain falling al
most continuously from o'clock last
night until this morning. At Mt.
Pleasant. Iowa, there was nearly { u
inches of rain. and at Keokuk it
amounted to 2la inches. The Des
Moines river went up 211a feet in "a
hours and is doubtless still rising.
Warnings were sent out from the gov
eminent weather and river bureau at
Hannibal this morning with the pre-.
diction that the Mississippi will rise
from to feet in the next day or
two as result, but it is not expect
ed to reach the food stage which is
generally recognized as IA feet.
The crew of the steamer Keokuk,
on arrival here about 1920 O'Clock
today. reported that more drift came
out Of the Des Moines river since
yesterday than at any time since the
ice broke up and came down. At this
point the river had fallen to stage
of ia feet last night, but by morning
it had risen 8 inches and is still go
ing up.

NARROWLY ESCAPED FROM
DROWNING IN CASS LAKE
B. Ronning Went Through Ice With His
Team and Wagon Near Star
Island.

Cass Lake, Jan. 21-(Special to
Pioneer. )-Bernt Ronning, home
steader living several miles north of
Star island, had a narrow escape
yesterday from watery grave near
that island, while driving across the
lake to town.
The ice was considerably weak
ened after the recent thaw and when
Ronning with his heavy team and
sled approached Star island the ice
began to snap. He paid little heed
to it and finally wagon, team and
driver were precipitated into the
cold water.
Ronning struggled fercely and
succeeded in crawling up on the pro-
jecting ice to safety. He then en-
deavored to extricate the horses
from their peril, but, single handed,
he found he could do nothing.
AS quickly as possible, Ronning
FASTENED to Cass Lake, a distance
of about six miles, gathered up rope,
pullies, and several men, and secur-
ing team, he drove in haste to
where the unfortunate animals had
broken through the ice.
Upon their arrival at the place,
the horses were found desperately
fighting for their lives, although in
an almost exhausted condition.
The paraphernalia was soon put into
action and after much work the
horses were finally liberated from
what almost proved to be a watery
grave.

Fire Destroys Crib in Lake
at Chicago.
SCORE OF MEN PERISH

Employees Not Killed by Explosion
Forced to Jump Into Icy Waters to
Escape Death in the FIames-Tuqs
Hurry From sheye and Rescue
More Than Forty Survivors Of the
Disaster.
Chicago, Jan. 21-Twenty-three
zen lost their lives in a fire which
destroyed the intermediate crib, one
and half miles from shore in Lake
Michigan. Forty-seven, suffering from
burns, cuts or immersion in the icy
waters into which they jumped to
save their lives, were rescued. The
dead are supposed to be imprisoned
in the tunnel under the crib. Death
might have come either from fire:
smoke, an explosion of dynamite
stored there or the shutting off of
the air pipes. In the tunnel the men
worked under air pressure.
This statement of casualties was
made by George w. Jackson, whose
firm was constructing the intake tun.
mel under the lake, of which the crib
served as a base of operations.
The fire lacked none of the ele.
ments of a melodrama Sixty men,
twenty of them at work in the tunnel
under the crib, a few moving about
the structure and others asleep in
their hunks, were suddenly confronted
by death by an explosion of powder
magazine, which Immediately wrapped
the wooden structure in flames. Those
who were not killed or injured by the
first fiery blasts rushed out of doors
to find no means Of escape. An in
terrupted telephone message told of
. the fire and the tug milford was
rushed to the assistance of the men
in the crib.
Scene Terrible One.
When the tug reached the crib fran.
tic victims of the fire, their hair
singed off and their skins blackened,
We're struggling in the water and ice.
Some of them fought against their
rescuers only to sink unconscious on
deck when forced aboard the tug.
When everybody in sight had been
taken aboard a second muff1ed explo-
sion was heard, probably marking the
snuffing out of more lives in the tun-
mel under the crib. The tug picked
up Twenty-Five men and hurriedly re-
turned to shore. Other tugs picked
up about twenty other survivors.
The crib is a temporary structure
erected in the construction of a new
three-mile tunnel into the lake for the
ultimate purpose of adding to Chi
Cages water supply. The first section
of the tunnel is being dug from the
shore at Seventy-third street. The
crib marked the beginning of the sec
ond section extending further into the
lake. 1t was used as the headquar-
ond section. The wooden material
used in the crib made it an easy prey
of the fire. Powder and dynamite
used in blasting were both stored
there. Ordinarily from sixty to sew
enty-five men were employed. They
worked In shifts of eight hours each,
eating on the premises and sleeping
in the hunks with which the place
was provided. A suspended tramway
connected the crib with the shore.
Immense buckets, suspended from
heavy Wire cables and worked by ma
chinery, carried supplies to the place
When the fire was first discovered an
attempt was made by a few daring
spirits to reach the crib in the
buckets, but the motive mechanism
failed to work and the attempt was
abandoned.
