if j A WAVE OF DEATH. Sioux City Engulfed in the Twinkling of an Eye— Many Liyes Were Lost. Sioux City, Io., May 18.—A great to save themselves and leave their! flood disaster has overtaken Sioux City. This morning a great wave of high water came down the Floyd river, which flows through the cer- ter of the city and which wesalready | bank full. The wave came a few minutes af- ter 7 o'clock. Warning had been giving but a short time before to the inhabitants of the lowlands, but on-| houses were ly a few of them had been notified | The first intimation was a volume of | water suddenly spreating over the) banks to a depth of 3 feet throwing a mist of foam before it In a few moments the water had 1is en above the first floors, and several thousand people fled in terror to the higher ground. The water rose 4 feet in an hour and a half, and from nine o’clek till after noon continued to rise steadily but not so rapidly. © Probably ove third of the inhabitants of the city live on the low ground which is overflowed. So rapid was the rise of the tide that great numbers were unable to escape, and the work of rescue engaged every energy of the people. At 12 o'clock eleven persons were reported drowned and there must be many others. The Missouri river is very bigh. and when the flood in the Floyd riv- er struck it, the water dammed up and rushed over the adjacent low grounds. The stock yards and pack ing-houses were situated at the con fluence of the two instantly inundated. head of tive stock there. Many stock have down the Floyd river. It is estimated that 8,000 people have been driven from their homes. All business suspended. The cham ber of commerce crganized this morning for relief 3efore noon the ladies had several soup and lunch houses opened for flood suf- and rivers and were About 2,000 were Crowned of dead also been seen floating numbers work. ferers. It is impossible yet to de termine the loss of property, but it will be large. There is only one telegranh wire working out of the city, and that runs to Omaha. This makes it impossible to »dequat- ly tell the story of the flood. BRAVE RESCUERS DROWNED The water is slowly receding to- night. A citizens’ at the courthouse is organizing to provide several thousand people with shel ter. The damage to property willreach amillion and a balf. The loss to the Sioux City and Northern Rail- road alone will $200,000. Miles of cedar block paving has been washed out. At noon 375 people had register- ed for relief and the applications had then only just begun The scenes along the verge of the waters are pitiful. The loss of life is very large but it is difficult in this confu- sion to learn names. At Springdale, a suburb, a wo- man has stood in the second story ofahouse 900 yards out holding her baby out of the waters, and is| still there at 8 o'clock Two men have already been drowned in attempt to rescue her. This makes the known deaths thirteen. The difficulty has been the fearful gale of wind which has been blowing all day. Houses are being burned up all the time, as there is neither gas nor electric light nor fire protection, the plants being under water. THE DEATH LIST ONE HUNDRED. At 10:30 o’clock to-night the re- lief committee has the names of | fif- teen persons known to have been drowned, and authentic reports of the drowning of three or four times thatfnumber. Only one body has been recovered It is believed that the death list will not number less than 9 hundred. : The Floyd Valley, a mile wide in places and five through the manu- facturing and railroad district of the city and vicinity dotted with homes, is to-night a scene of desola- tion. The river commenced to rise about 8 o'clock, and before noon was 30 feet deep in the channel. rent is very swift, for it empties meeting exceed to-night. jurbs. land soon fences, lumber, sidewalks | and houses were being swept away. | There are probably 700 families in} the valley, the majority living in, smal! houses, and as there was no, | Warning the most they could do was} | possessions.
