BREAKS
CHECK FLOODS
DRAINAGE DISTRICT INUNDATED
TRAIN SERVICE PARALYZED.
LIVES LOST IN THE FLOOD
West Kentucky Towns Fear Big Vol
ume of Water on the Way-Shaw-
neetown, Ill, and Columbus,
KY, Are Deserted.

Cairo, m.-In response to an appeal
for help from Mound City, a detail from
the naval reserves was sent there to re-
main to aid in saving the lives of the
people 2there should the levees break
during the night. 1t is feared that they
cannot stand the lashing of a strong
south wind. There are a number OF
barges there and it is planned to put
the people in them should the levee
break.
Another detachment of naval re-
serves was dispatched to Birds Point,
No., under the personal command OF
Commander McMunn. There are thirty
eight members of the Missouri National
Guard marooned upon the levee there.
They will be brought to Cairo.
The breaking of the levee Of the Cairo
drainage district and the Drinkwater
levee in Missouri was responsible for a
check in the rise. The drainage dis
trict levee, which had been leaking for
hours, let 60 in a serious break at 3:3S
o'clock in the morning.
The water rushed in and by 5 o'clock
the water had piled up against the
main line of the Illinois Central rail
road, which runs down through the
middle Of the district. 1t swept the
double track out for a couple OF miles,
even heavy concrete work being
crushed as if it were putty.
The northbound trains had gotten
through before the break, but the south
bound Panama Limited and the Semi
mole from st. Louis were too late, and
were caught at Mounds.
The Drinkwater levee, a half mile
above Greenfields Landing, broke at :
o'clock and the water began pouring
through the crevasse in a stream twelve
feet deep and 300 feet wide, which
was steadily widening. The result OF
this break will be to flood all of that
section of Mississippi county which was
everfowed last spring.
All West Kentucky river towns are
dreading the coming af the onrushins
waters, and the people are preparing t.
leave. Shawneetown, ILL.,, and Colum
bus, KY, are practically deserted.
