THE EVENING WSS | oo oo | | TAKES MAN'S LIFE Nantatlon Foreman First ;Vlchm, of Present High | Waters—Threat Grows. By the Associated Press. | MEMPHIS, Tenn, May 24.—From softened, crumbling levee tops along half a dozen Mississippi Valley streams, men loored down today upon threaten- ibg water and found in the sight suf- ficient cause for working the harder to hold the rivers within bounds. Near one of the levees a human body floated. The high water in the Mississippi River and its tributaries took the sea- son’s first recorded flood death last night. Raymond Hays, 28, a plantation foreman, was drowned in Red River near Texarkana, Ark. while trying to rescue horses surrounded by the flood. In that vicinity some 4,000 acres were under water and property loss had been severe, Outlook Pessimistic. ‘There had been no other breaks re- ported, despite the pessimistic outlook of Mississippi Delta citizens, and ‘Theodore G. Bilbo, Governor of Missis- sippl, and engineers in charge of the Mounds landing levee near Greenville maintained their confidence that the levee would be saved—barring always the accidents no experienced river man overlooks in predictions. Crews were reinforcing the mounds landing levee along a 200-mile stretch bordering three counties. Backwater has covered a considerable area, forcing a branch railway line to suspend opera- tions in that territory. Break Near Kennett. ‘The Arkansas and White Rivers in Arkansas and the St. Francis in Missouri kept engineers and workmen busy. There was a generally expressed hope that further breaks on these streams would be prevented. The St. Francis has broken through near Ken- pett, flooding between 25,000 and 30,000 acres. Another danger point on the Missis- sippi, near Hickman, Ky., continued to offer the menace it has presented for weeks, but as engineers progressed in their efforts to strengthen the levee there, it appeared more likely that a break in the immediate future would be averted.
