LINCOLN. July . 8peclal Telegram.)
Oreat waves of water, rushing all the war
from Saltlllo, ten mile southwest of Lin
coln, spread with terrific force over the
western portion of the city tonight, driving
hundreds of people from their homes, sur-
rounuing a majority 01 me manufacturing
plants and warehouses of the city and en
dangering both life snd property.
The flood-swept district at 9 o'clock to
night Included nearly all territory west
of Eighth street, bounded on the north
by O street and on the south by J street.
But beyond these lines the waves kept
spreading in Jagged lines. On the north
side of O street the water cover nearly
11 of the Burlington and Union Pacific
freight yards. At I 30 a stream found Its
way through the labyrinth of tracks and
warehouses and ran down Seventh street
In front of the Burlington passenger depot.
About this time a notice waa posted on the
entrance to the depot basement "Closed on
account of the flood."
The water Ilea in an unbroken sheet from
First street west for a distance of at least
two miles.
Tracks I'nder Water.
Telegraph poles, railroad ties, boarda and
rubbish are floating around through the
streets, over the roads and across the rail
road tracks. The main line track of the
Burlington west Is covered with water to a
point within two blocks of the passenger
depot platform. The Union Pacific road
south la similarly covered, in some places
the water reaching a height of five feet.
The outgoing Burlington passenger train,
which left at 7:30, had Its platforms sub
merged before It reached the city boundary
line.
The deluge came from Saltlllo and be
yond. At Hickman there was a downpour
ef rain at noon and a cloudburst Is re
ported to have occurred at Saltlllo at
noon. At 1:30 this afternoon a man rode
a horse up to the entrance of the police
station and gave notice of the oncoming
flood. He came from Saltlllo at the top of
the horse's speed to warn the city of the
approaching danger. Chief of Police Hoag
land summoned the police force and gave
'orders to have the warning conveyed with
all possible haste to the Inhabitants of the
endangered district. About 4 o'clock the
first slgna of the flood were seen In a light
wave, which spread over the water In the
lower bottoms. With Increasing force the
water kept coming, and at 6 o'clock was
speeding at the rate of five or six miles
an hour and rising a foot an hour.
Move Oat of Bottoms.
The Inhabitants of the bottoms paid but
. little heed to the first warning, but when
they saw the water approaching with auch
terrlflo force they began to move, but many
of them were too late to save anything
but their own lives. All along the border
line of the water are crowds of terror
stricken Women and children, some crying,
om hysterical and some fainting. One
Ick woman, living with four children in a
mall shack near the Burlington depot, was
driven out with only the night clothes
bout herself .and her children. Carrying
the two smallest In her arms, with the
other two coming along behind her, she

ought refuge In an 'almost unconscious
condition In nearby restaurant, and from
there waa taken with her children to the
home of a friend up town.
Near Sixth and J streets a 4-year-old
child was saved from drowning by Bert
Brooks, a young man who had been assist
ing the refugees. He swam a distance of
100 yards and took the child from Its father
and swam with It back to dry land. The
father came later In floating wagon.
drawn by team of horsea swimming and
floundering In the water and floating rub
bish. On Eighth street between N and M.
100 barrels of lime packed in a shad and
belonging to Searle CLapln. were Inun
dated at t o'clock and soon after the water
reached the lime It began to slack. Great
volumes of smoke arose from the building
nd then flames were aen. The Are de
partment responded and soon had five
streams of water playing on the shed from
above. In thta block ta a big lumber yard
and numeroue small buildings well stocked
with building material. For a time It
looked as If the flames would spread, but
the firemen held tham In check In the
building In which they originated. Another
fire started from the same causa In a shed
In the Dlerks lumber yard at Seventh and
N street.
Firms Affected by Flood.
Borne of the principal buildings In the
manufacturing district that are surrounded
by water are those owned or occupied by
theaa firms: Curtis' Fartlett. aash and
door factory: Western Mattress company,
J. I. Cass Manufacturing company. Hedges
Iron works, Searle Chapin, lumber;
Bchaupp Hurd, coal; Hutchlns Hyatt,
oal; Lincoln Oaa and Electric company's
Work, Wisconsin Furniture and Coffin
company, Whltebreast Coal and Lime com
pany. Dierka Lumber company. The F.
W. Brown Lumber company la partially
urrounded. The big grain elevator of
the Central Granaries, at Fifth and
treets and the Lincoln lea company's
bouses standing near by are In the center of
an Immense lake, with all dry approaches
eut off.
The people living In the flooded district
are of the poorer class. Only a few of
them saved their furniture and many of
them were driven bare-tooted In front of
the wavea. From the reservation came
nob of women, all thinly clad, wading In
water up to their knee.
The police force gave all the assistanc
It could In removing people and furniture
from the houses In the flooded district
Firemen were kept busy several hours and
eltlssna gave valuable assistance wherever
they eould.
The water ceased rising at midnight.
Eighth street la Impassable between N
a '
and L streets. O street Is flooded as far as
Seventh and the Beatrice Creamery com
pany's building at Seventh and P streets
la psrtlslly surrounded. The cellar of the
Hargrravea Bros.' wholesale grocery house
waa filled with water.
Railroad Tracks Washed Oat.
Soon after the westbound Burlington pss
senger trains left the city a portion of the
main line track between J and H streets
waa washed out. Three Rock Island pas
senger trsins, unable to go over their own
tricks westward, were taken over the Bur
lington via Aurora. Freight traffic was In
terfered with In the flooded region and to
a large extent paralysed. The Nebraska
City train had' not arrived up to 11 o'clock
and It was not expected to come by Its
usual route.
The homeless are taking refuge with
friends or in the public buildings. Four
large rooms In the Park schoolhouse are
packed with women and children, and the
court and other rooms In the court house
are giving a.helter to many. A large base
ment room ih the Richards block was
opened for the accommodation of half a
score of the homeless.
It Is impossible to give an estimate of
the damage done by the flood. Ten years
ago, when the same section of the city
was covered, the damage was light, but
that was because the occupanta of the
various houses and buildings were prepared
for the flood and had moved most of their
belongings to placea of safety. Some of
the offices In the manufacturing houses
have been flooded and the loss cannot be
estimated until an Investigation la made.
The water tonight, however, la said to be
several Inches higher than the flood of ten
years past.
