 Red River Levees.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Texarkana.-Twos serious breaks in the Red river levee have been report cd, both near Ogden, in Little River county. One was 200 feet wide and the other 100 feet. No loss of life oc- cured. At Fulton, Ark, the Red was 33 feet, five feet above flood stage This was higher than at any time since records have been kept.
 At Ashdown, 19 miles north of here, the river was within a half inch of high water mark.
 It is said that several hundred men have been at work in Lafayette coun- ty, on the east side of the river.
 The rise in Red river. unprecedent- ed for this time of the year, caused much damage. Several hundred cat tie and other live stock were drowned. Engineer Christian says that when tho work in progress on the various levees is completed the Miller County Dis trict No. will be practically safe.
 The state levee broke at the Avery place, two miles north of Garland City on the Lafayette county side It is said the loss to unpicked cotton and to stock will amount to thousands of dollars.
