FLOOD INUNDATES TOWNS
MISSOURI AXD ILLINOIS SUF
FER FROM THE ELEMEXTS.
Train Wrecked, Dredge Sunk, Five
Lives Lost, Buildings Swept Away.
Many Bravo Rescues.
ST. LOUIS. May 5. A thunderstorm of
unusual severity, accompanied by a high
wind of almost tornado velocity, swept
over this vicinity early today, doing much
damage to property and indirectly caus
ing loss of life.
A bridge on the Louisville & Nashville
Railroad, near Belleville, 111., was washed
out and wrecked a freight train. Engi
neer Ward, Frank Chasm, the fireman,
and a trainman, whose name has not
been learned and whose body has not
been recovered, were caught under the
engine and drowned. The train was
plied up in a mass in Schoenlaub Creek,
which was swollen into a torrent.
The village of Edgemont, 111., was
flooded, and many persons were forced
to take refuge on Improvised rafts.
The whole area of lowlands known as
the American Bottoms, east of East St,
Louis, 111., and comprising 35 square
miles of territory, is under water.
French Village, a town of 1000 lnhabl-
tants, one of the oldest settlements In
Illinois, was struck by a miniature tor
nado, and many houses were unroofed.
Telephone and telegraph wires are down
and there is no communication with
French Village.
Traffic is impeded on electric lines run
ning to various points east and north of
East St. Louis, 111., because of high
water. The first floors of houses in the
'Mrinui Bottoms are flooded, and far
mers are utilizing rafts and boats In res
cue work.
In St. Louis the wind blew down trees
and signboards, broke in many store show
windows, and crippled telephone and tele
graph wires to a large extent. Several
residences were struck by lightning and
the Are department was kept busy re
sponding to alarms In the driving rain.
No casualties are reported.
Two men composing the crew of a dredge
boat at Edgemont, 111., are missing, and
are believed to have been lost. Five
dwellings and a saloon were swept from
their foundations by the flood that inun
dated French Village. The long trestle
of an electric line near French Village
was a haven for refugees.
Many thrilling rescues of persons from
flooded homes have been reported. Ar
thur Baxter was swept away with his
house, which was brought up against the
electric line trestle, and Baxter was saved
by a rope thrown to him from the bridge.
Belleville was left without electric lights
or power by the inundation of the Belle
ville Gas & Electric Company's plant.
Citizens of Belleville estimate the
monetary loss at $100,000. The flood began
to recede at noon.

Pendleton Family Loses Everything
When Home Burns.
PENDLETON, Or., May 6. (Special.)
Clad only in their night clothes and leap
ins from the porch roof, three children
of Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Porter had a
narrow escape from burning when firo
destroyed their home In this city about
3 o'clock this morning. Mrs. Porter and
two other children, who were sleeping
on the lower floor, also had a narrow
escape, not having time to put on a
single article of clothing. Thus scantily
clothed the entire family, with the ex
ception of Mr. Porter, who was away
from home, was compelled to seek shel
ter of neighbors. The house was several
blocks from any other and was burned
to the ground before discovered by those
living nearest. The origin of the flames
is a mystery. The loss is about $2000,
with one-half insurance.
Leader of Kentucky Feud Dying.
LEXINGTON, Ky., May 5. A tele
gram from Jackson today says It was
reported there that Ed. Callahan,
former sheriff and feud leader, who
was stabbed by his brother-in-law,
John Spyer, yesterday, one arm being
almost severed, is dead, but the report
has not been confirmed.
Callahan and Spyer fought in Calla
han's store at Crockettsvllle, 20 miles
from Jackson, and Callahan's son, Wil
liam, shot and killed Spyer when his
father was stabbed. It is hard to se
cure authentic news from Crocketts
vllle because of its location. It has
no telephone connection
A later message says that Callahan
is not dead, but is at the point of
death and cannot recover. .Callahan's
son, William, who shot John Spyer, is
expected in Jackson today to surrender.

Refused Fair Price by Brokers, They
Will Hold Out With Aid of
Boston Banks.
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, May 5. (Spe
cial.) At a meeting of Utah sheepmen
Saturday afternoon, May 9, final arrange
ments will be made for immediate ship
ment to Boston of 10,000,000 pounds of the
1908 clip, . which will be stored In bond,
financial institutions at the Massachusetts
city having agreed to make liberal
advances of money on the wool.
The storage of the clip at Boston is
the outgrowth of the determination of
Utah sheepmen to oppose the brokerage
combine, which this year offered 10 cents
the pound, 12 cents lower than the 1P07
quotation. The sheepmen complained and
certain concessions were made, the high
est offering, however, being 15 cents for
a limited quantity of wool.
The Utah association sent a committee
to Boston to arrange for storage and the
advance of money in order that growers
might successfully continue business with
out disposing of the clip at a loss. The
committee was highly successful and Sat
urday's meeting will be the culmination
of the fight.
