and sixty thousand persons are flee
ing from their homes to places of
safety. The crevasse is two hundred
feet wide, and the water rushing over
the adjacent farm lands in torrents.

flood and repair the break. 1t is be-
lieved that more than 10000 square
miles will be inundated before the Gre
vase is repaired, and hundreds OF
thousands of dollars worth OF prop
erty destroyed.
Other points along the Mississippi
river are menaced by the rising river
and hundreds OF watchmen are pa
trolling the dykes watching for the
first intimation OF break. People
