SEETHING WATERS,
A Turbulent Flood or Very Short No
tice. Saturday was a rainy day. Every
half hour or so trooping clouds would
pnss by and empty their contents upon
the er-rth, but it was not until about
4 :30 that the waters fell in all their
power, sufficien t to raise the creek run
ning through the city to an almost un
precedented height, and before people
were aware of it, the cellars along the
south side of Main street between 5th
and 3d streets were getting an unex
pected benefit. Up on Chicago avenue
tbe waters covered streets and lots, the
tent of the Adventists being swept
away and down with the current; sev
eral cellars were filled, gardens in low
p'ac;s washed away and general havoc
created. In the low parts elsewhere in
the city, the same scenes were enacted.
Peter Mumm's basemeut room had four
feet of water aud liquor 6tored there
was lost and injured to the extent of
tnree hundred dollars. The heavy fall
of rain atd the water, c msed ft ie a ea
wall along the west side of Fitzgerald
block to fall in, and against the build
ing; five hundred dollars will not more
than cover the damages there. Water
man's lumber yard was cut directly in
twain, tie long culvert through it being
shattered and swept away; one thous
and dollars will not pay for the lost
lumber and necessary repairs there
At the B. & M. depot the culvert could
cot carry away the water and the yards
were flooded, tracks swayed out of
place, and the bridge to the water tank
sunk down: the company's damage is
not estimated. Altogether the flood
was disastrous in many quarters, and
it will cost the city much expense to
have things as they were before Satur
days rain.
