New York, July 6.
Nearly 200 persons are feared to have drowned and hundreds are homeless as a result of floods in Eastern Kentucky after a cloudy burst. The towns of Morehead, Grayson and Breahitt appear to have suffered the worst. They were all virtually isolated when a creek above Morehead overflowed its banks.
It is believed that at least 38 inhabitants of Morehead have been drowned. The death roll for Grayson is understood to be between 25 and 30, while that for Breahitt is believed to be between 76 and 100.
