The family is that of John F. Long, ^tv^d^-oTr^^faTnT~ergnteen miles from Vicksburg, Miss. With him is his wife and two children of tender ages, Edward, five years old, and Catharine, two years her brother's junior. The story of their escape from their home whenrthe rising torrents of water swooped down into the val- iey^and fiiirxounded their little home is thrilling. No Chance to Escape. So quickly did the river rise and the water rush over the banks and spread toward their home that they had no chance to escape. Almost ^ithojfttJKaj^liig=^e^W4»(tefrs«r^^UB^ed their horrie. The only place of safety they could reach was the roof of their home. For twenty-four hours they clung to the roof without food, water or sleep. Whilel-iniprisoned there the mother tenderly cared for the little girl while the father tried his best to comfort the boy. Their~otbeTTwo children, a boy and a girl, were drowned earlier in the day while the father was trying to remove them to a place of safety. __ â€" ~ Tells Own Story. 7^ Here is the way little Edward ex- plains the loss of his home: "The water washed away our cows, horses and pigs "and"we"cllmbed on top of the roof: I think my little brother and sister were lost also, as_XJiav& not seen them since." The parents have not as yet explained to the chil- dren the death of their brother and sister. Finally after many hours of waiting and grayer the family werojrescued ~by~W^mrty whcTwent in search of them In aTJcanoe7~ They were » re- moved to the county- fair grounds, which is located upon a bluff. There they remained for several days sleep- ing on th*e ground with nothing but blankets to protect them from the cold of the night. With them were hundreds of refugees of every class and color. =Just â- -â- befoii&'-iiicrTnilftla'iaTr^tfdj they managed to 'escap%^fc0 Dyeraburg, Tenn., where they secured trans^iT tation to this city.

Theiiext morning thf- firemen telephoned to Mrs. Paul Jett-j rick, 909-Chicago avenue. Mrs. Jen-l jrlok was formerly a trained nur8e| and their appeal to ^iier received^ ready response. She instructed thenv; to send the family to her. 1 Mr. Nelson of Chapln & Nelson' livery sent a carriage^o_tbj and conveyed the family to the Jen| rick home.

Any "person desir- ing to assist the family can do so by notifying Mrs. Jenrick by telephone. Mr. Long's position with the express company is but a temporary one. He is anxious to secure work at odd jobs. He is a carpenter by trade, but as he ^^So^Tn^nlber^fThTmiibn and has not the money to secure membership he is badly handicapped in securing employment at bis trade. REV. LA.
