Dike opening threatens flood as North Lawrence townsmen urge action
North Lawrence farmers and gardeners asked city commissioners to mend a dike near the Union Pacific Trestle to stop water from pouring into the river after the Kaw rose, washing away the dike and opening a wider channel. Floodwaters moved seven inches per hour, flooding homes, roads, and fields as trains faced slow orders across the breached line. Local officials warned of possible heavy damage while Pacific authorities and city workers struggled to protect property and restore the dike.
