WESTERN OKLAHOMA
SWEPT BY FLOODS
Hobart Okla. April 6. Possibility
that five lives have been lost In the
flood in southwestern Oklahoma re-
sulting from a torrential downpour of
rain in the basins of the Washita river
and north fork of the Med River Mon-
day night loomed as meagre reports
reached here from the flooded ureas.
Telephone and telegraph wires are
down in ull directions und communica-
tion with the half dozen counties af-
fected by the high water Is almost Im-
possible. Hundreds of head of livestock
have perished and thousands of acres
of bottom lands are inundated.
A report from Hollis county seat of
Huinon county last night said two
lives had been lost near there. This
could not be confirmed today as it was
impossible to communicate with Hollis.
A report from Warren u small town
south of here on the north fork of the
Red River wiid a family of three liv-
ing on the river bank was last seen
about -dusk floating down the river on
the roof of their home. It was believed
they perished during the night.
The flood waters today bad reached
the. country directly south i.f Hobart
within two miles of the junction of F.Ik
Creek with the north fork of the Red
River. Two families of eleven peopl.)
living on un island at thu Junction of
the two streams were marooned for
several hours early today but finally
were rescued by a bout sent from a
nearby town. An airplane attempted
the rescue but could not find a suitable
landing place.
It is estimated by county authorities)
that ."i.OUO acres of land in this county
are under wuter. Seventy five porevnt
of this consisted of alfalfa ready for
the mower with the remainder corn
land. It was said the alfalfa would be
a total loss and that tin corn would
have to be replanted. The same au-
thorities placed the loss in livestoelc in
the county at 1.0U0 hogs und about fifty
horses and cattle.
