Guthrie, O.T., April 29. In the flood stricken valley ot tho Cottonwood riv er today heroic effort ha3 bean inudo towuids the rescue of thoso unfor tunate whoso lives were still endan gered nnd for the relief of the hundreds of destitute and hungry. Tonight It seems a certainty that the loss of life In yesteidny deluge will not exceed twenty. All day persons, supposed yesterday to have been drowned, have been found clinging to bushes or driftwood down the stream, on the west bluffs, or scat tered lit farm houses for miles. rnirlngthegreatpart of yesterday th torrent cut off communication with th submerged district nnd In the excite ment the death ll3t was swelled to hun dreds. Daylight found dozens of persons still flinging to trect, overturned houses or timbers In perilous positions. For miles along the scene of devastation, 1500 people homeless, half ill from oxposuto nnd hunger, passed a miserable night, and morning found most of them too weak to help themselves or give assist ance to others. The fccene In the Hood swept districts this morning was onoi ot desolation. Th'o river fell rapidly during the night nnd while It Is still bank full tho water has receded from most ot tho Inundated district. There Is a confused mas3 of debris, overturned nnd demolished houses scattered over tho valley where last night wns a s.a of water. The banks are lltered with the carcasses of farm animals. Whole blocks, where stood a' home In nearly every lot, were stripped, nnd huge trees torn up by tho routs, wero scattered everywhere. With the llrst ray of daylight tho work of rescue and relief was begun with a will and kept up with, tireless energy. During last night men had been put to work In lumber yards con structing boats, and dawn today wit nessed a dozen craft steering out from all directions to the leseue of the un fortunates. Tho work of tho raftsmen proved more effective, and one by ono persons were transported from their perilous positions to places of safety. Every house, drift pile nnd trco was closely examined In seaich of the dead. The family of Wesley McGill. reported yesterday as drowned, was found safe. The only bodies found dur ing the day were thoso of Mrs. Fanny Ruflln, nnd five children, nil lodged In a pile of driftwood. These, with Georgo Owen drowned while rescuing others, Frank Meyers, Mis. Jane Watt, Mrs. Francis Moore, Mrs. Druimnoml, Mrs. Dennis nnd child nnd Mrs. Watson aro the only identified dead, though many are still missing. SYSTEMATIC RELIEF. During the day systematic relief wns perfected nnd carried on. Ferries piled across the liver carrying provisions and clothing and returning with in jured. Such were carefully cared for in private homes in Guthrie. By night fall ample arrangements had been made for tho Immediate care of tho homeless and there was nn assurance of no further suffering, at least for tho tlmo being. Five hundred homes wero swept away; 1C0 houses wero wrecked, and twenty stores were devastated, leaving 1,000 people homeless and half as many destitute. Tho work of sup plying shelter nnd food for nil theso wns by no means a small undertaking. But the Guthrlcdtes wero equal to tho task, and tonight thousands ot dollars have been subscribed to aid the allllct ed. Tho damago along tho Cimarron river east Is very extensive and hundreds of farms have been devastated along Deep Fork In Lincoln county. Gangs of men worked all day rebuilding houses nlong the stream. Tho damage to property will be In the neighborhood of $100,000. while that sustained In crops may equal or perhaps double that amount. Tho receding flood has left nn Im mense pile of wreckage at the rail road bridge, six miles below the city.
