The flood rushed into the street, which lies In a hollow and forms a gen eral drainage channel, and every busi ness house on the east side was flooded to a depth of from one to four feet. Several structures were torn from their foundations and floated some distance down the street, while the crest of he flood was covered with furniture, animals and all sorts of debris.

A lone highwayman, with a dynamite cartridge, stopped a Pennsylvania railroad express train, and at the point of a revolver compelled the crew to carry thousands ot dollars from an ex press car to a spot tn the wilderness. When the conductor attempted to Interfere, he was shot In the hand and the bandit escaped. In the darkness, however, he mistook a bog containing 10,000 new Lincoln pennies for gold coin and stagered away with It, leaving the real gold bullion to be recovered. The highwayman, It Is said, took $3,000 In bullion and $200 In pennies from the car. and all of this has been found along the trail except $C5. .
