The water was in the levees UP to
the 81 1T, level OF the Ohio river. A
as mile gale lashed the broad Ohio
into a rolling tossing sea until the
breakers dashed over, the already

churning waters and the sweeping
gales fran buildings fell to pieces
and the more substantial We're
shaken.
BY nightfall the stage of the
river was between As and so IT., ac-
curate reading being impossible be-
cause of the high sweils.
The entire north and east levees
are submerged. the levee hotels be-

The state guards were taken from
their camp on the levee, which was
several feet under water and which
had started to crumble.
During the six hours storm big
yawl of the Chicago Naval Reserves
rescued many people from the sec

them TO places of safety.
The cutting of the levee yester-
day afternoon resulted in the town
being filed with water in three
hours. A gap was effected with
dynamite three miles from town.
The water poured through In tor
rents and uprooted trees and every
thing in its way. Two hundred
yards of the levee was washed away
and the waves dashed 30 feet into
the air and spread as a great fan.
The water came into the center
of town gradually from the cutting
of the levee and from the cut there
was little destruction.
Many small houses in the out
skirts are total loss.
