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. Rain Deluges Indiana. MADISON, Ind., May 5.

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. Will Try for Lahni Cup. NEW YORK, May 5. A.
