About three fourths of the dam Is swept

was one Of the most substantial bridge struc-

piers Of stone and mortar. The two princi-
Pal piers are demolished, 80 that not q yes-
t1ge OF them remains, and the remaining one
IS 50 much Injured rs to be useless Tho
sbntment on the east end was very much
shattered BY the floating Ice and timber. The

FROM SAUK COUNTY
a special despatch from Spring Green, IN
sauk County, reports that the storm Of Sun
aay night has done m almost incalcnlable
amount OF damage In TINT vicinity, The
bridges arc, with very few exceptions, carried
away. TEagel Is almost impossible. The
scene IN the Wisconsin river yesterday Was
awful. Amidst the immense fields of Ice were
to be seen an fndeacribable mass Of broken
baas bbf,ases, So. oat-houses, pigpens dead cattle,
consin bridge is gone. The upper Sank bridge
Is laying up against the lower sauk bridge,
Au the bridges On Henry Creek are also gone;
Lumoer yards hare been flooded, and thelr !
contents carried down the river.
Houses and barnes were struck by light- /
ming and entirely destroyed Among these
are the new High School house, at Lone Rock,
entirely consumed. and barn near Lone |
Rock, containing 1000 bushels OF grain, dfly |
tons OF hay, three horses, and two cows:
IaGg large nun numbers Of horses, cattle, sheep and
|
have lost nearly everYthlng-theis farms be-
ing completely stripped. Mills have been
swept aWay, together with all theis stock.
Indeed, the damage cannot be estimated The
rack Is washed away in many places on the
Milwaukee & Prairie du Chicu Railroad, and
many Of the bridges gone. 1t is doubtful If |
rains can run regularly for week or more,
