OKUAHOMA CITY, Okla . Oct. 18
—(By Associated) Press)—The fury
Of the North Canadian Ittver which
lashed a foamtng sea nearly to the
center of the city retail district
having reached its climax. Oklaho-
ma City today set to the tusk of
caring for 15.000 homeless persons
and waiting for the river to recede
and making possible a checking up’
of the damage.
Although the water stopped Its
rise up he principal street shortly
after 8 o'clock, officials were unde-
cided ar" to when to anticipate a
material drop In the flood due to
a break In the embankment nt the
city reservoir 10 miles upsteam
which It l» feared may drain the
lake which Is 2,000 acres and 50
feet deep. This water. It Is expected
would delay many hours any decid-
ed drop In the river here.
In the middle of the day the flood
was still roaring through the city
two miles wide with many currents
ripping new courses throu*h tho
devastated lowlands.
Efforts were being continued af-
ter hours of futile attempts to reach
several families marooned in their
homes. No loss of life was reported
but officials apprehended that the
flood had taken a toll of death
from some who delayed too long
.after the cltv fire siren e iHy to-
day warned that the water In the
reservoir had been let loose. Many
residents In the lowlands, firm In
the belief that their homes would
withstand the flood, refused to
lei^yj,- and had to bo taken forcjLljr
fors»»jbeir dwellings by the floltee^
Many of the houses they refused
to leave have slne<t been swept
