THREATENED BY
FLOOD WATERS
(By Dispatch A. p. wire)

BEARDSTOWN, ILL.,, Sept IA thin
line of sandbags stood tonight between
Beardstown's 1000 residents and the
rising waters of the Illinois river. More
than a hundred men, some of whom
have labored without sleep since We'd
nesday, worked along the mile long
levee which protects the city from the
rivers waters, staunching the weak
spots in the wall of sandbags.
Women found share in the battle
against the rivers churning currents.
They drove trucks filled with sand TO
the edges of the levee and put the sand
in bags with which the dyke is being
bolstered, while other groups served
coffee to the workmen. Three organ
lied crews of workers natrolled the
mile of levee with horse -drawn sledges
loaded with sandbags, which were
banker wherever the levee showed
weakness.
Tonight the river stood at % feet lM
inches, less than four inches below the
ton of the dyke with the floods crest
slowly swelling as the Sangamon river
emptied into the Illinois nine miles
above the city, the burden Of a Wednes-
day IreSneC.
only if the weather remains fair
without further rain or wind will the
barried hold back the flood waters, ac-
cording to c.: o. "Dad" Miller, in charge
of the levee workers, who has labored
70 hours at his task of guiding the et-
forts to control the river.
Water is standing in the city streets
in several places and sandbags are
holding it back at other points where
it threatens to seep through the sew
ers.
The northeast section of the city is
virtually deserted with flood waters
ebbing near the second floor windows
Of residences. In the southeast sectioT
Of town families are moving their
household goods to higher points. This
section is near the levee.
Belief was expressed tonight that IL
strong wind hits the embankment the
waters can be held back. Miller point
ed out however that if the water once
breaks through the sandbags, efforts
to hold it within bounds probably VIII
fail. 1t is believed the crest Of the
Sangamon's contribution to the hish
waters will pass by morning.
