OHIO FLOOD WRECKS
SHAWNEETOWN. I'LL.

Shawneetown, ILL.,, April , by
Boat to DeKoven, Ky.)- Shaw
neetown, $50 miles northeast of
Cairo, and claiming 5000 inhabi-
tants, was practically wrecked
by the Ohio River flood o-day.
High winds dashed the water in
to rolling sea which dashed
over the already submerged levee
opened a rift in the embankment
and in a little time swift cur
rent was dashing through the
residence section, carrying all
before it. Frame houses fell to
pieces before the rush Of water
and the force of the wind, and
the more substantial structures
were shaken.
Families Had Filed.
Hundreds of persons had prev
iously fed from the place, but
dozens Of families remained in
their homes. Their rescue was
accomplished with two yawls Of
the naval reserves. The dam
age is estimated at So, 900, 900.
Less than 100 persons remain
in Shawneetown tonight. They
are occupants of business houses
on Main street the highest point
in the place. Marooned in the
upper stories, they are grimly
staying with their possessions.
A desperate effort was made
to save the town yesterday when
what is known as the South levee
was dymamited in the belief that
the backwater, while it would
flood the place, would equalize
the pressure against the levee
on the north side and preserve
it and thus prevent the full force
of the current sweep through
the place.

The clouds about noon today
which brought heavy rain here
seemed to extend all around and
gave evidence of big rains, espe-
cially to the north and west OF
Jefferson. There was good deal
of electricity, and the elements
looked ominous for awhile and
made some people wish they had
storm house. Though normal
conditions was soon resumed,
The bad effect of the recent heavy
rains had about passed, and now
this flood comes to prolong the
situation and put the farmers
behind in their planting opera
tons.

looked incredulously at the editor and
then at his counsel.
1t was seen the case had collapsed.
Mr. Newett continued in a similar
vein. When he explained in a voice
that did not waver that he was i'm.
pressed with the character of Colonel
Roosevelt's witnesses and could not
doubt they were telling the truth. the
colonel relaxed, sat back and 1t was
recognized that the defense had pulled
up the white flag.
ROOSEVELT MAKES STATEMENT.
Mr.. Newett soon closed his testi-
mony. Hardly. had his last words fall
en- before William Vanbenschoten of
counsel for the prosecution rose and
asked the judge If he would allow the
plaintiff to make personal statement.
Judge Flanagan said he would II
| there was no objection. Opposing
/ counsel not Directing, Mr.. Roosevelt
stood up and met the defendant half
way. His counsel were silent. He said
he was not revengeful and desired only
such a verdict as would be required
under the law.
Your honor, in view of the state
ment of the defendant / ask the court
to instruct the jury that l desire only
nominal damages" said Roosevelt.
81 did not go into this case for
money. l did not go into it for any
vindictive purpose.
Il went into it and, as the court
said, l made my reputation an issue
I 7 oil In
my lifetime thoroughly and compre.
hensively to deal with these ISLANDERS
so that never again will it be possible
for any man in good faith to repeat
them.
Il have achieved my purpose and
am content"
1t was with difficulty that the judge
and his bailiffs could hold rein over
the crowd within the four walls. Near
ly every one seemed going out, talk
ing or about to do either or both. FL
nally out of the momentary furry II
was agreed by attorneys and court to
take Is minutes recess.
JUDGES CHARGE TO JURY.
This gave Judge Flanagan enough
time to arrange a hurried charge TO
the jury. II was admitted the dam.
ages would be nominal or 6 cents.
Colonel Roosevelt had made this pos
sible when he got up and made his
proposal Came next, after quarter
of an hour, the slow filing in OF the
jurors, the rapid reseating of excited
spectators and the appearance Of the
Judge, more ministerial than ever.
Judge Flanagan charge for the
most part was technical. He explain
ed to the jury what libel is. what NAL
ice behind libel is and 10 what point
the prosecutions numerous witnesses
had testified.

ROOSEVELT Goes
HOME SATISFIED
Colonel, Passing Through Chi
cago, Tells Friends Vindica-
ton Pleased Him.

Chicago, Ill, June 2.-Colonel Theo-
dore Roosevelt arrived in Chicago yes
terday from Marquette, Mich, fresh
from his victory in the libel suit
against Editor George A. Newett of
the Ishpeming Iron Ore. He reached
the city at 1880 a. m. and departed
an hour and fifteen minutes later for
Oyster Bay.
The colonel was accompanied by
the lawyers who had successfully con-
troverted the rumors upon which
Newett admitted he based his offend
ing editorial, also by many of the rela-
tives, friends and other witnesses who
had given the testimony that caused
the Ishpeming publisher to admit in
open court he had done the former
president an injustice.
Is ENTIRELY SATISFIED.
The party breakfasted at the Union
station between trains and then board.
ed special car attached to the New
York special of the Pennsylvania sys-
tenn. Every one in the party was
pleased at the outcome of the suit.
Colonel Roosevelt indicated his entire
satisfaction with the jurys verdict
and Judge Flannigan's sweeping state
ment that the evidence was a com
plete vindication for the plaintiff.
Mr.. Rooseyelt's request that the jury
give him only the nominal Michigan
damages of 6 cents, made after Editor
NnUatf had
witness stand the attack on the colo.
nel's sobriety, was commended by his
friends. They said Mir. Roosevelt's
attitude was not at any time vindictive
and that he only desired, as he said in
| court, TO make it impossible for any
one in good faith again to repeat the
ISLANDERS, which were started and CIV,
en- currency in the late campaign for
the presidency.
CLOSE OF THE TRIAL.
Marquette, Mich, June Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt won Saturday mis-
| libel suit against George A. Newett
editor Of the Ishpeming Iron Ore
Damages, however, were only nominal
g cents-made possible by the atti
tude of Colonel Roosevelt himself, VINO
arose in court about 3 O'Clock and said
he did not seek a punitive verdict.
, That statement virtually ended the
trial Judge Richard c. Flanagan, af
ter recess of Is minutes, ordered in
formal charge to the jury the finding
of verdict for the plaintiff
Within few minutes all these
( things happened. Testimony had beer

its witnesses. When noon came the
