Being Secured BY Ropes-Fear
Other Lives Lost IN Deluge

Salyersville, KY, June %
Seven bodies were today taken
from the swollen waters of the
Licking river. Fearing that

lost as result of a cloudburst
near the neadwaters of the
stream, rescuring parties have
left here for the mountain re-
gions to the east
The body of woman was seen
floating down stream about noon
but efforts to secure it were un-
vailing owing to the swift cur
rent. ...
Telephone connections with
the scene of the cloudburst had
been cut off. 1t is known that
twenty-six houses were washed
away.
Eastern Kentucky has been de-
luged with heavy raiufalls for
practically week and Monday
nights storm, which is under
stood to have been a cloudburst,
has put the waters of the already
swollen Licking entirely out OF
its banks. The wreckage was
observed floating past Salyers--
Vile at daylight and the work OF
roping houses and rescuing live
stock was begun. This resulted
