Missouri River Flood Impacts Elk Point to Jefferson
The Missouri River above Elk Point flooded the area, washing away six miles of riverbank. Homes in Elk Point and Jefferson were flooded. Milwaukee and St Paul depots were surrounded by water, trains halted on the Sioux City and Dakota division for days. A Tennessee family fled to higher ground as natives faced significant losses. At Sioux City the river rose rapidly but posed little risk unless a gorge formed downstream. The Sharp case was postponed in New York as doctors reviewed Sharp’s medical condition. Missouri offenders faced penalties in a federal court, and the Missouri Board of Pharmacy held exams in Kansas City. The Rich Hill inquest progressed slowly with witnesses, while a New York case saw a mother commit a fatal act against her son amid insanity concerns.
