Interesting Information from Bismarck
Bismarck Tribune, Nov. 81: LAST night
the wind blew hurricane, and cold one
at that. At the river every thing was being
placed in position for the winter. The men
at work raising the boats on the ways were
rushing the business, and had hauled the
Eclipse and Bachelor high and dry. The
Butte was also nearly in its place when the
men quit work for the night, and the Mac
leod was just being raised on the skids.
About 8 O'clock the wind changed and the
Butte, which was to all appearances
propped up solid, rocked back and forth,
and finally like snow slide, elided rapid
ly down the WAYS, striking the Macleod,
and knocking her off into the river Her
side being broken in, she filed with water
in less than half an hour and sunk in seven
feet Of water. The ice is running thick,
and it may be impossible to raise her.
The river is reported as falling two feet
last night, leaving a part Of the Mac
continue to fall, so that the extent of the
damage can be ascertained, it is not un-
| likely, the weather permitting, that she
can be taken out i. 6. Baker has been
telegraphed, and will shortly arrive with q
diver who will examine the wreck, and, II
possible, repair to q certain extent the
breakage, and assist in attaching the tackle,
ETC., for raising her. The Butte broke both
her hog chains and several stanohions, and
| her boiler was moved about six inches.
After the battle with the Macleod she
sailed off down the river about three hun.
dred feet and stuck in the bank. She will
| probably have to remain there for the win.
ter, as is. is impossible to get her on The
wavs until the Macleod is out of the way
and the prospects of the river remaining
open much longer are very SLIM" ,-~
| The Fannie Tatum came in from 6t
Louis during the night and discharged 4
few packages Of freight on the Centra
Transit Wharfboat, after which she dropped
outside Of the Emma Graham, where sh,
was living at noon. She is bound for Pitts
the scarcity of Pittsburg pilots she is de
tsiHed here.
The Potomac brought down q big tri]
this morning, including as tons pig irol
and about 500 empty barrels The Bi
Sandy wharfboat was crowded with freigh
and she discharged her cargo below the foo
Of Main street.

the Golden City's Office upon her arriva
here. She is now above MemphiA
