Between the hours of two and
three o'clock on Sunday morning the
fire alarm was given, and although
it was in the early hour of the morn
ing, the fire created much excitement
and quite a large crowd gathered to
witness the splendid work Of the city
fire department. The building was
the old Mel Durio property, occupied
by C. D. Hunt, day engineer Of the
opelousas Ice factory, and owned by
Mr.. E. M. Boagni.
We understand that the property
was partially covered by insurance,
something like $500. being carried.
The fire, which is unaccountable
for, originated in the extreme south
western portion of the building who
was not occupied by Mr.. Hunt, and
through the fine work of the fire
fighters part Of the building was saw
ed. The entire rear and upper part
Of the building was destroyed.

Popular Bluff, Mo-, April 2S.- Levees north of here broke last night under the heavy strain of the Black river flood and inundated all the east half of Popular Bluff. Scores of families were forced to flee from their homes, carrying what few eff fleets they could reach in their haste.
 The torrent which swept the city was eight feet deep. No deaths were reported, but live stock was killed in numbers and the damage will be con- siderable.
 Early today the levees of the Lit tie river drainage district were dyna- mited to let the water into the low lands in the eastern port of the coun- ty. Indications are that the flood from Black river, when it reaches the Arkansas will do great damage and warnings have been sent ahead.
