Tiptonville, Tenn, April 6.-Hun-
dreds of refugees from the flooded
Reelfoot Lake territory have gathered
at Ridgley, where there is high
ground. Practically all the livestock
on the low lands of Lake county has
been drowned, and it is reported two
children of refugees lost their lives
as they fled last night. When the
levee near Hickman, Kentucky, broke
yesterday afternoon, letting the flood
waters of the Mississippi into the
ReelfOOt Lake country, the warning
was flashed by telephone, and, where
wires did not reach. cOuriers were dis
patched. Because Of the break in the
levee at Hickman, the Mississippi
here is not rising this morning, the
flood waters running through the lake
| country east of here.
| Now it is feared there may be
break in the Mississippi leyee on the
state line. If this occurs, water will
rush through the northwestern coun-
| ties from two sources. Five hundred
persons from the northwestern coun-
| ties of Tennessee, made homeless by
the flood, are seeking shelter here.
Refugees arrived in boats, riding the
crest of the food wave
! Reports that there will be big
death list in the Reelfoot territory are
| not credited here. While many per-
sons have been marooned on house
tops, on anchored RATS, and possibly
in tree tops, it is thought they will
be rescued. There are 400 refugees
lat Ridgeley, eight miles south of
here. Shelter has been provided for
the homeless in both towns. There
probably will be a shortage of food,
however, and the supply of bed cloth
ing is short. An appeal has been sent
to Governor Hooper asking that the
state help feed the refugees and that
supplies be sent to the highlands,
where hundreds of cattle We're driven
before the Hickman levee broke.
The gradual spread of the water in
Lake County is seen in recorded
rise of not more than four inches in
the Reelfoot Lake last night at Tip
tonville. The highest point, it is eX-
pected, will be reached today. All of
Dyer county between Lake and Dyer,
Tennessee, is submerged but the pee
pie escaped, most of them, it is said,
with their live stock. Three villages
in Lake county, are entirely under
water and have been deserted by their
inhabitants. They are Hathaway
