RACINE CITY AND COUNTY,

On Monday afternoon two children oil
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Baker, residing al
Western Union junction. left the house
and went into the yard to play. One oil
them secured an axe and while handling
it cut a fearful cash into the others
head, penetrating into and cracking the
skull. The little one ran into the house,
covered with blood. When Mrs. Baker
beheld the injured one she was terribly
shocked, was taken with hemorrhage,
and died at s o'clock. She was IS years
old, and was highly respected by ali who
knew her. The sad affair has cast a
gloom over the entire community where
she lived. The child is not seriously
injured, and will recover.
Sunday afternoon Martin Christensen,
son of ex-Sherif Christensen, suddenly

The warm weather Of the past few
days with the heavy rain of Monday
broke the ice in the river above the
Northwestern bridge, and Tuesday
afternoon it commenced moving down
the river in immense blocks. The
cracking and roaring of the ice could
be heard for blocks, and hundreds of
people watched the moving mass. At
Mead street bridge its progress was
impeded and an immense gorge was at
once formed, about 80 rods long and
from ten to fifteen feet high. This
formed a perfect dam, and, as the
river was running rapidly, the back
water soon overflowed the docks and
covered the dock property of Mitchell,
Lewis 3 Co., Kelley's ship yard, Eisen-
drath's tannery and other places. At
Herrick's fats, further up the river,
the water flowed over the banks and
submerged that portion Of the city.
Houses were inundated and many
families were obliged to move out in
boats. The roads are all impossible
and relief is hard to furnish. Nearly
all the lighthouses ON the river have
been destroyed and vessel men are
working together to save vessel prop
erty. Should the gorge break and
move down the river the damage
which would result could not be est.
mated.

The Lakeside roller rink at Racine is

of the great drawbacks of Kenosha is
the lack of large. clean, well-lighted,
