Kansas City Flood Items,
J. B. Hipple, formerly of tlis
boat, Friday, June 9. The water
was still 12 feet deep in the back
yard, On top of the roof of his
building was a deposit of mud left
by the flood varying in depth from
6 inches to two feet. Hight tons of
of this deposit were shoveled from
the roof. While this work was
going on there was still two feet of
of water covering the first floor,
the basement containing his presses
was filled, and on one side of the
press room a heavy raft was lodged.
He says: Kansas ayenue was in a
deplorable condition. Wrecked
buildings after wrecked buildings
were on top of each other to the
height of 20 feet, These were the
cheap frame buildings that the
water had swept from their found-
ations and hurled against the strong-
er buildings on the avenue where
tkey lodged, making an apalling
sight. With a few exceptions the
brick buildings are standing but the
stocks of goods they contained
are almost wholly ruined. The
same is true of household furniiure.
Some persons who visited their
homes threw the furniture out of

it off and save the
