TWENTY-FIVE HUNDRED MEN EN-.
GAGGED IN EFFORT TO SAVE
LEVEE.
NEAR TOP OF LtVEE
Water Today Only Eighteen Inches
From Top of the LeVee - Break
in Levee Would Wipe Out Every
City in Path.

Little Rock, Ark, Feb. Twenty
five hundred men are working on the
Mississippi leyee in front of the town
Lake Village today with the water at
the hfty-siX-foot stage, and within
eighteen inches Of the top
The leyees, both here and at Arkan.
sas City, are also on the brink of the
blood and the people feel confident
that they will be able to cope with
this most critical flood test.
A serious break in the levees at
either city with the crumbling EN-
bankment, would virtually wipe out
every city which the Mississippi flood
waters would strike.
The narrow strip of levee is the
only land in sight at Arkansas City.
On one side is the great river, swol.
len until its surface is fifteen feet
above the level of the town. On
the other side of the levee is a great
lake formed by flood waters that have
poured down from the north through
a half dozen breaks in the Arkansas
river levees. This lake is nearly forty
miles long and twenty miles wide.
From it only the upper stories of
buildings in Arkansas City protrude.
At the levee are three steamboats,
ready to carry the pucky fighters to
safety should they lose their battle
with the flood They are living in
the second stories of their homes and
in box cars on the levee.

KNOWN LADY
OF THIS CITY
MRS. MARY MAURER DIED LAST
NIGHT AFTER A PROTRACTEO
ILLNESS. MOTHER OF MRS. SYL.
VESTER MULLEN.

Sunday night at 1880, in this city,
Mrs. Mary Maurer died of pneumonia
after a protracted illness, this being
her fourth attack. 1t is almost aXio-
matte that one can hardly survive so
many, as each case makes the patient
more peculiarly susceptible to the at
tack. Mrs. Maurer leaves surviving
her an only child, the wife of Sylves-
ter Mullen of this city.
Mrs. Maurer was a member of the
Choctaw Tribe of Indians Her ances-
tors came from the old nation in Mis-
sissippi and located at the historic
spot of Fort Towson in the Choctaw
country. She afterwards removed to
an equally famous spot-Boggy Depot,
being the spot where congressman
Chas. d. Carter was born and being
one of the most historic spots of the
west because it was from this place
that the government of the United
States in the early days largely con-
Quoted the affairs of the Choctaw peo-
pie. The family of Mrs. Maurer is
widely scattered throughout the Choc-
taw and Chickasaw countries, where
their property interests are varied and
extensive. This prominent family
was long identified, prior to the dis
solution of the tribal government,
with the affairs of the Choctaw peo-
pie.
The deceased was a devout member
of the Catholic Church. She was a
sympathetic, generous-hearted, family
loving woman, a typical woman of
the west. She leaves surviving her a
large number OF friends and rela-
tives who deeply mourn her loss Mrs
Mullen is almost PROSTATE with grief.
Interment in Rose Hill Cemetery
will follow the funeral services which
will be conducted at the Catholic
church, at $3.50 o'clock, Tuesday

been taking.
