SMALLPOX PATIENTS REMOVED.
St. George Hospital Now Stans in
Five Feet of Water.
High water invaded the grounds shrouding St. George's hospital, the city's pest house, located on the banks of the Missouri river near the bridge of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad, yesterday afternoon. When the outbuildings began to float Dr. George P. Pipkin,in charge of the hospital, became concerned for the thirteen patients in his charge, and telephoned to the city for ambulances. The sufferers were loaded into these and transferred to the ward for the insane at the general hospital, Insane patients were distributed in other parts of the building.
At a late our last night St. George's hospital, which is a frame structure, was still intact in about five feet of water.
