Goodland People Tell of Flood-Wrecked Logansport.

Goodland Herald. A number from Goodland have gone to Logansport since last Friday as sightseers, and upon their return have stated that they never saw anything to equal it. The large plate glass windows in the stores there were most all broken in’ and mud five and six inches deep was piled on the floors. All over the flooded districts wreckage was piled against the buildings that were left standing. Everybody has had plenty of work there this week cleaning up, and wagons were kept busy hauling the mud to the river. All the large stores were heavy losers, one store losing as high as $35,000, and the others ranging down to SI,OOO. Each train into Logansport has carried large numbers into the flooded town. Mr. and Mrs. P. Wilson, the latter agent here for Mrs. Lewby, Logansport’s leading florist, went to that city Monday. Mrs. Newby’s greenhouse was completely wrecked and it will be some time next week before she can supply the trade again.
