Pawnee, Oklahoma Flood
May-June 1908
Guthrie, Ok. May 25 - The flood
situation throughout Oklahoma is vastly improved
today, although there has been but little
traffic resumed on the railroads because of many
brides being out....Practically all of the
bridges are out on the Santa Fe between Guthrie
and Pawnee. In order to save railroad
bridges long strings of freight cars were used
to weight them down, and armies of men with long
poles kept the drift away.

MORE RAIN IN OKLAHOMA
Guthrie, Ok., June 5. Heavy
rains have greatly added to the flood damage
throughout Oklahoma.....Heavy rainfall in Kay,
Pawnee and Osage counties, has brought the
stream nearly to the danger point. A
number of Pawnee County bridges went out today
and several lives are reported lost.
