least, there is as yet but little injury tc
/ the buildings Figures as to losses to theil

Thirty or forty residences on South River
street had their rear fences next to the river
carried away and their yards filled with
debris, which causes damages approximate
ing $3.50 each Some of the brick blocks
show signs of settling some as the water re-
cedes, but it is hoped they will not be
rendered unstable From Main to Kelsey
damaged from 500 to $500. There are no
reasons for changing estimates made in Sun
days PIONEER Press, that the total losses are
not over ST. 600, 900,
BRENTWOOD.
On it's own part the city of Fan Claire is
offering all possible relief to flood sufferers,
while private individuals are not backward
Offers of aid, generous offers of assistance,
have come from outside to private individ-
uals and firms, but in the main Eau Claire
will care for its needy. The opera house is
drying out rapidly. and the upholstery and
furnishings are damaged but little. The ex-
pecation is that it can be opened again in
almost as good condition as before. Steam
pumps of the Galloway house saved the
valuable contents of its basement from
their neighbors prevented flooding in some
of their buildings. An alarm from the fire
bells at q o'clock this morning frightened
many citizens, some of whom thought it an
nounced another flood, but it was only a
small blaze. Services were held in most of
the churches to-day, and texts were in ref
erence to Hoods and the great danger es-
capped.
The loss of life in the city, so far as is
known, is confined to one person. Consid-
ering, the extent of the flood and its sudden
ness, this is remarkable Other drownings
in the valley are three men, one woman and
one child. whose bodies floated down from
above and have not been found yet
Since Thursday noon the river has fallen
twenty two feet, and is within five or six
feet of low water mark, which at the present
rate of decline it will reach by Tuesday
morning.
Indications tonight favor rain, but no
fears are expressed of another freshet.
On the excursion train which came from
Menomonee to Eau Claire to-day, 500 was
taken up for sufferers by the flood.
