Rising Missouri and Kansas Rivers Bring Floods
Heavy rains in Northwestern Missouri and Kansas push the Missouri and Kansas rivers higher with minor damage. In Kansas City the Missouri rose three tenths of a foot, near Topeka one and a half inches fell, and Kansas River rose about half a foot. Ottawa and nearby streams also rose. Wrecked Santa Fe cars near Womona were submerged but all passengers accounted for. In central Kansas, Dickinson County saw nine inches of water fall, ruining hundreds of wheat. Rail lines at Chicago and Alton face disruption while drought relief trends appear doubtful in some areas. The flood crest was not yet reached in several locales, with water continuing to rise slowly in places.
