RIVERS IN INDIANA
ON WILD RAMPAGE
FLOOD THREATENS TO SURPASS
HIGH WATERS OF 1883.
PEOPLE ARE FORCED TO FLEE
Breaking Levees Inundating a Wide
Stretch of Territory-Downpour
in Practically Every Part
of the State.

Indianapolis.-lndiana is in the grip
of a flood which threatens to surpass
even the high waters of 1883. The over
flow, coming with astonishing sudden.
ness, caught farmers throughout the
State unprepared, and the breaking of
levees in other places has forced per-
sons living along the rivers to desert
their homes. The White, Wabash, Blue,
st. Joseph, Maumee, Tippecanoe and
Mississinewa rivers and Sugar and Wild
Cat creeks are out of their banks, with
every streamlet in the State adding to
the seas OF water that inundate the low
lands.
AT Marion the breaking of the Mis-.
sissinewa river levee forced 500 per-
sons to flee from their homes, while at
Elwood and Duck Creek the levee broke,
flooding the homes of 800 persons. In
Indianapolis the breaking of the White
river levee at ~Sixty-fourth street flood
ed many homes.
The flood began Sunday after a few
hours of hard rain. Since then practi-
cally every part OF Indiana has had a
downpour of rain.
The Wabash river in the eastern and
north central parts Of the State is re-
ported to be rising a foot an hour, with
the worst flood in the history of the Sec
ton in prospect. There, as in other
valleys, couriers are hurrying through
the lowlands warning the inhabitants
to seek higher ground.
-Four persons were drowned in swollen
streams, and practically every creek
and river in Indiana is out of its banks.
Rain in torrents has fallen from South
Bend, on the north, to the Ohio river,
and the Wabash Valley is flooded. At
Lafayette the river is rising a foot an
hour, and the lowlands are inundated.

against that fortress. The resumption
of hostilities by the allies when peace
