The water rose higher and higher, but ,he operatives were disposed to laugh at he situation. They did not dream of ts seriousness. They stood by their ooms and spindles and the little children loated their boxes in the water and )addltd around as though it were a holilay. When the seriousness dawned and he order came to leave the mill, many lad to be drivei. out by force. Clifton No. 2 is today totally wrecked n one end and chord wood Alls every oom. Tht re are bodies not yet recoverd in the debris. The odois late yesterlay afternoon clearly indicated the presence of human bodies buried beneath he rubbish. TIIE SITUATION. The people need attention. They leed food and clothing, but there is no mmediate cause for alarm. The sufferng has not set in. In the presence of he fearful havoc wrought the men are lazed. They cannot realize the force of he blow. They sit around and talk. quire anxiously about relatives, talk ?ver the scenes and incidents, but are ?ot disposed to work. The demoralizaion extends to the women and children ind the negroes. At Pacolet yesterday here was an effort on the part of the sompany to begih clearing the wreckage. \. few men were put to work at No. 3 ?acolet, some white and some colored, >ut not half as many as were needed riie men seem too dazed to think about vork.

In the first opening tof Oklahoma to settlers in 1880, the editor of this paper was among the many seekers after fortune who made the big race one tine day in April.
