Damage Done By the Water.
We have received the following par
ticulars concerning the overlooking of
tie Humboldt river at Palisade and
vicinity. For the past day or two the
water in the river has been gradually
rising until yesterday il overlooked its
banks, and the water is now higher
than ever before known at this place.
Fears are entertained in regard TO the
safety OF the Eureka and Palisade rail-
road bridge; the water is now running
over it. Laborers are engaged in
~''guying" the bridge, and this, with
%anchoring, will perhaps save the struc-
ture. The water is running down the
main street in a torrent, flooding the
houses and doing great damage. Ho-
gle's yard and stables are all full. his
saloon flooded, rs well as many others
ia the town. The citizens are out en-
mlasse engaged in fighting the water.
A number Of Cinnamon are at work
digging the road away below the Hop
Lee wash house, TO lel the water pass
down the canyon.
The River Is FILLED
With timbsrs, trunks of trees, etc.,
and it is feared that should the bridge
stand the pressure OF water, the float
ing logs will jam against it and cause
IL Ia give way. Large numbers OF
horses and cattle are reported as hav-
Jog drowned in e~ndeavoring to cross
rho rivar MasxrS Greer X Eullpr
have received a letter from Captain
Rabbits stating that their ice house is
still safe, though surrounded by water.
IL il now half flied with ice, and
should it be washed away will prove "A
serious loss to the owners, who are
storing the ice for the Eureka market.
Later.
The water seems at a s,and-still,
though not %receding any. The bridge
still stands. The train for Eureka
leaves on lime. II is reported that So
rious damage has been done on the
line Of the Central Pacific railroad, but
10 what extent has not been learned.
IL s.e,is as though, the water has
reached its highest stage, but no per-
cettii,ie change has been noticed since
four O'Clock.
