Several families were carried out in boats
last night. At Woodard's mill the water
rose so high in the basement and engine
room that the machinery could not run this
morning. Peck's lumber yard and Greer q
Perkins yard are completely under water
this morning some water being in the engine
room there. The river rose until within a
few inches of The Owosso COOperage Co.'S
boiler room also but has not troubled them
yet. An attempt will probably be made
to break up the ice with dynamite today,
but as the ice from the Corunna pond has
not come down yet more trouble may be
expected.
