Tho damage done by the flood Monday
night, th severest In "over twenty years,
will run up Into thousands of dollars. Th
water, which for several hours Monday
night poured In torrents from Indian creek,
left Its usual deposit of slimy mud and
debris on Broadway and the adjacent
streets. As is always the case, the build
ings on the north side ot. Broadway In th
flooded area suffered most, although con
siderable damage was done this time on
th south sWe. North of Broadway be
tween Eighth street and the railroad tracks
much damage was done.- Cellars were
flooded, foundation walls washed away and
lawns ruined.
At Sixth street and Broadway water
from tha creek filled ths basement of the
opera house block and on th opposite
oorner did considerable damage In the Cen
tral gTocery. From this point west almost
every building on the north side of Broad
way suffered more or less damage by the
flooding of basements. At the Metropolitan
hotel, after the flood had subsided, there
was a deposit ot mud several Inches deep
over the first floor of this old structure.
In the basement of the Goodrich hotel at
ths southwest corner of Broadway and
Eighth 'street there was several feet of
water In the basement At F. Morgan's
drug store at the northeast corner of
Eighth and Broadway ' the water forced
Its way Into the cellar of the building and
caused damage amounting to about $300 to
a stock of pianos and other goods. Prao
tlcally the same story r could be told of
every building on lhe north, side of the
street as far west as the Northwestern
tracks.
Several Walts .Collapse.
Water 'from Indian creek, which flowed
south on Seventh street and then sought
an outlet In the alley south of Broadway,
was responsible for the collapse of the
east wall of a series of one-story brick
buildings between 726 and 727 on the south
side of Broadway, belonging to Leonard
Everett. The east building, occupied as a
pool hall by J. J. M'ooney, was almost
completely ruined. When the wall col
lapsed the floor at the rear .of the build
ing gave way, carrying with It to the
cellar three pool fables. This wall col
lapsed a few minutes before 3 o'clock
yesterday morning and a few moments
later the partition wall, between the pool
hull and the store occupied by the Iowa
Fruit and Produce company, gave way,
carrying with It the floor of the rear end
of this building. Here the cellar was
stored with bananas and this stock is prao
tlcally an entire loss. The firm yesterday
morning started to. move to other quarters
on South Main street.
While the flood waiefgot Into the base
ment of the large warehouse building of
the wholesale grocery, firm of Groheweg
St Schoentgen at the corner of Ninth street
and Broadway, Mr. Groneweg said he did
not believe the '-damage -would exceed
$1,000. " -- .., n r-- ... - '"
, The street railway eompany had every
avalllable man at worV clearing the mud
off Its tracks yesterday, , but this will take
several days. Twenty-two cars. It was re
ported yesterday, had. been put out of com
mission by Monday night's storm. Some
had the motors burned, out and others had
minor troubles, but th damage In the ag
gregate will be heavy. 1 It was not until
shortly before S o'clock yesterday morning
that the company was able to get any west
bound cars through the mud and water a.
the railroad tracks on Broadway. The mud
was deeper on the north track than on the
south track and ears from Omaha were
able to get through about 1:30 o'clock.
Women Rescued . by Police.
At t o'clock yesterday morning th police
rescued from what Wight have proven
watery graves, ' two aged women living
alone lp small dwelling near the railroad
tracks and Averrue G. - Mrs. Mary E. Price,
known as "Aunty Price" and who has been
a familiar character on the streets of
Council Bluff J for many years, was rescued
after the water had reached within three
feet of the roof of the small structure she
occupies. When the pullc rescued her,
Mrs. Price was found sitting on a box
placed on her bed and the water was then
above her waist. She was taken to thu

bor. -.The water In her house was about
five feet deep.
During ths storm Monday night a hors
belonging to O. O. Over, local, a -manager
of th A. Hoap company was fXick by
lightning and killed. The bolt s'ruck a
tree In the rear of th bam at 09 Mill
street. In which the animal was stabled
and followed a wire clothes line, which
was stretched from ths tree to the barn.
A hole eighteen Inches square was cut out
of the wall of th barn on a level with
the bore's head and the animal was struck
dead In Its stall whl munchng a whisp of
hay.
Low-lying vacant lots In the flooded
area are now ponds of stagnant water and
It Is feared they will prove a menace to
the health of the neighborhood. On Seventh
street south of Broadway for the distance
of a block there la mud nearly a foot deep
and on part of North Eighth street th
same condition prevails. At many places
on the avenues north of Broadway the
water and slim was yesterday a foot or
more In depth.
Damasre to Bridge.
On Eat Broadway near Frank street
ths bank of th creek was badly washed
and for awhile It looked as If the street
car tracks would drop Into th creek bed.
Until th break was repaired by driving
piling and filling In cars ware unable to
make the loop at Oak street and had to
be backed down on Pierce street. Many
of the smaller bridges on East Broadway
were washed away and considerable dam
age vii done to the approaches to th
new concrete bridge at Frank street. The
brldue over Soott street was somewhat
damaged and at Eighth street the plank
ing of the bridge was torn loose by the
force of the water, while the Iron railing
on the east side, entirely collapsed. The
repairing of the bridges, It Is expected,
will exhaust the city bridge fund. The
work of removing the Immense deposit of
mud on Broadway from Eighth street to
the railroad track will be a gigantic task
and will bankrupt the streets and alleys
fund,, which Is In a badly depleted condi
tion.
Joseph Smith, residing near Fourteenth
street and Avenue G, while making his
way through the flood at Tenth street and
Broadway, shortly before midnight, slipped
and fractured a small bone of his ankle.
After considerable trouble the man was
reached by the patrol wagon and conveyed
to police headquarters, where he was at
tended to by Dr. Sprlnk. As it was im
possible to reach his home In a wagon,
Smith was kept at police headquarters
and made as comfortable as possible until
yesterday morning, when he was taken
home In the ambulance.
Nearly all of the railroads suffered from
the heavy rain of Monday night and prac
tically all trains were late yesterday. The

worse for liquor. The man was struggling
along near the Intersection of Broadway
and Pearl street, when tne ooy "cops
told him that he had better accompany
them to police headquarters. The lads
each taking the elderly stranger by an
arm, started to walk towards Bryant street
Reaching Main street one suggested that
It would perhaps be better to take their
prisoner through the alley to avoid at
tracting a crowd. At the entrance to the
alley the old man apparently commenced to
realize his position.
"Say, boys, I don't want to be locked up.
I'll give you each 50 cents If you let me
go." said the bibulous stranger.
"All right, boss," exclaimed the youthful
policemen In unison and clutching the all
ver dollar which the old fellow produced
they started off back towards Broadway.
The old fellow followed, but when he
reached Broadway tell Into the arms of
Patrolman Phlllbrook, who promptly took
htm to the olty bastlle. The old man gave
the name of M. B. Jones and said he
was from Oakland, la. He put up a cash
bond of $10 later, which he forfeited yes
terday. The incident was witnessed by a number
of persons, but the identity of the two
wise young "cops" was not learned.

PLAX TO DIVERT I.DIA CREEK
C'oaarll Diaraurl Proposition to
Tarn It Into Blar Lake.
To divert Indian creek at th city limit
and dig a new channel for It to drain Into
Big lak and from there Into the Missouri
river Is a scheme, which Mayor Malonrv
proposed at the meeting of the city coun.
cil last night
"I intend." declared th mayor, "to devote
the remainder of my term as mayor of this
city and after 1 go out of office to secur
ing, If possible, some means of diverting
the water from Indian creek so that the
business section of the city will not be
subjected to these periodical and costly
floods. I believe It would be practicable to
divert the creek at the olty limlta. I see
no reason why this city should be com
pelled to afford an outlet for the drainage
ot several square miles of country outside
its municipal limits. If necessary I shall
endeavor to hav an act passed by the
state legislature legalizing the Issuance of
bonds for carrying out this scheme of
diverting th creek Into Big lake."
All of the councllmen expressed them
selves as favorable to any plan by which
the periodical Overflowing of the trouble
Some little creek could be averted.
The councllmen will meet this morning
at 9 o'clock as a committee nf the whole
and spend th entire day If necessary In
making a tour ot the flooded territory with
a view to ascertaining what can be done
to best relieve the situation.
The special committee consisting of Coun
cllmen Jensen, Morgan and Olson, to which
was referred the proposed pure milk
ordinance reported that at a recent Con
ference with the committee from the local
dairymen's association an ordinance had
been practically agreed upon the passage
of which th committee recommended. The
dairymen, the committee stated In its re
port would not contest th passage of the
ordinance, but would reserve the right to
test Its legality In the courts. If they so
decided. The report ,of the committee was
approved, but It was decided to defer the
passage of the ordinance until the meeting
next Monday night to which time the coun
cil adjourned.
Following the meeting of the council the
councllmen held a brief session as a
Board of Health at which routine business.
Including the auditing of the 'usual grUt of

rain fell at this place and throughout moat

Incalculable damage to the crops In the

enough that farmers could cultivate the
weeds out when the last rain came.
Ir. Chappell of the Weather and erop
service believes that unless rains atop
and sunshiny weather cornea the crops will
be very light, and' are much damaged as
It Is.
A cloudburst on the Great Western be

Two policemen were called and the man
was taken to the city Jail. Weldon had
his arms locked about the rails and would
not budge, and an pncomlng train saw the
light In time to stop but a few feet from
