- OKLAHOMA o AT CREST TODAY Capital City However Is Ioun- 18000 e ok Okiahoma City, Oet, 16.—~Water at the eity reserveir, ten miles west o here, had fallen six feet since mid-| night, according to an announcement | &t 8:16 o'clock by C. B, Hrets, super- | intendent of the water works Al though there has been no drop yet| in Oklahoma City this is believed to| indieate that the crest of the flood s/ upon the eity and that the water will not go higher | City In Grip of Flood, A catastrophic flood grips Okla- homa City today. | With virtually the entire south side fnundated, flood waters of the Nerth| » Canadian river, rising rapidly, at dawn literally were lapping at the very threshold of the retail business eenter, with every prospect that the crest of the high water would not be reached for somo time, Four Days of Rain, | Sweeping savagely southeastward, | the torrent awollen to unprecedented proportions by rains which have fall- en virtually without interruption for four days In the west and north cen- tral sections of the state, broke through the municipal reservolr, ten miles west of here early today and flung a pent-up, nine foot wall of wa- ter down stream to spread further disaster to the already stricken low- lands on Oklahoma City's south side. The volume of water reached here early today and within an hour had spread to within 18 blocks of the prin- cipal business district, Lives Are Imperiled. So far, there has been no loss of life reported, but numbers of persons are belleved to be imperiled. Ordered to places of safety last night by city authorities, approxi- mately 15,000 residents abandoned their homes in an area in the flood’s path, comprising 117 eity blocks, and are being sheltered and fed by hastily formed relief organizations. Soldiers Are On Duty, National Guardsmen are patrolling the inundated residential sections to ald clvil authorities in possible rescue work and to prevent looting. Mer- chants are removing their basement stocks and records to places of safety. The surging waters battered through the dam embankments des- pite the frantic efforts of workmen to #ave them by hastily erecting sand bag levees. The west bank was torn open late last night. In a few moments seven feet of water was pouring through, sending the river's stage to 23 feet. By midnight, 300 feeft of the bank If You Need a Medicine YouShouldHave the Best Have you ever stopped to reason why it is that so many products that are extensively advertised, all at once drop out of sight and are soon for- gotten? The reason is plain—the arti- cle did not fulfil the promises if the inanufacturer. This applies more par- ticularly to a medicine. A medicinal preparation that has real curative value almost sells itself, as like an endlesd chain system the remedy is recommended by those who have been b:x:ented, to those who are in need of it. A prominent druggist says 'Take for example Dr. Kilmer's Swamp- Root, a preparation I have sold for many years and never hesitate to rec- ommend, for in almost every case it shows excellent results as many of my customers testify. No other kidney , remedy has so large a sale.” According to sworn statement and verified testimony of thousands who have used the preparation, the suc- cess of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact, so many people claim, that it fulfils almost every wish in overcoming kidney, liver and bladder ailments, corrects urinary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid which causes rheumatism, You may receive a simple bottle of Swamp-Root by Parcel Post. Address Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., and enclose ten cents; also mention this paper. Large and medium size bottles for sale at all drug stores. 2 i had been carvied away, For iwe howrs the 23-foet depih Wwas maln- tained River Reaches 235 Fret Then, the torrent’s furlous attack | against the eadt barrier was vietorious | and almeost the full sweep of water in the river's erest to 25 feel, a height never before altalned and nine feel above lask spring's disastrous high mark With the additienal rise, emer: | geney sirens in Oklahoma oity blared their warning signals and evacuation of the entire area in the flood's path began, At the sound of the fire siren, streets south of Grand l\rlluh‘ a4 principal business thoroughfare, | became choked with refugees, | City Panio Stricken | As doctors, pressed into serviee by | the city administration gathered from all over the city at points of concen- tration, ambulances from every hos- | pital, and fire trucks clanged their | way through congested traffie lines, | rushing into the danger somes for refugees or dashing back from there | with human cargoes of terror-stricken | residents of the lowlands, | Btreet cars and volunteer motorists, | veikuring to the very edge of the water, alded in bringing the helpless and erippled to hospitals and havens of safety provided by civie and fra- ternal organizations, Pandemoninm relgned for a time, Crowds of curious persons milled and pushed on down town corners; while automobiles and horse-drawn vehi- cles clogged the traffic ways leading to the river boktoms, Rain Adds to Confusion A cold drizzle of rain added to the confusion, The situation was later taken in hand by military and civil authori- ties, who forced all except the needed workers off lthe streets, Capitol hill, a residential section In the southern end of city, and Pack- irgtown, the packing center to the southwest, are compldtely isolated, Shoot to Kill TFollowing a report that a band of from 75 to 100 men were looting homes deserted by refugees, police were dispatched to the scene with SAVE YOUR COAL TO QUICKLY TAKE THE CHILL OUT of your home these snappy fal orders to shoot to Kill any persens Tound plllaging | With the coming of merning the homeless veatured from their emers genoy shelters.
