    High waters in this vicinity were nearing the flood mark here today (April 8). Center Lake was out of its banks, flooding the city park and surrounding the city park bathing beach bathhouses and threating to overflow the North Buffalo Street pavement. Tippecanoe river cut-off was overflowing the bridge which leads to the Kincaide farm just northwest of Warsaw. The Warsaw-Leesburg road, two miles north of Warsaw near the Missionary farm south of Lem See's, was threatened with rising waters on both sides, which appeared likely to break over the road soon.
