RAGING RUSH RIVER
Does Enormous Damage in Pierce
County, Wis.


RED WING. Minn., May 17.-Reports
received today give some account Of the
disaster caused by Tuesdays storm in
Pierce county, Wis, across the river
from this city. Rush river rose high
above its banks, carrying along every
thing from the head waters to the Mis-
siSsippi. At Martelle, Elpass0 and OTHER
places Touring mills were swept along
by the flood. entailing losses Of which
no accurate estimate can be formed.
Three farm houses. With occupants, are
said to have been washed away by the
food, but the report cannot yet be sub
stantiated. One dwelling was seen
going down the river past Martelle. "A
lamp was burning within the house,
and tits supposed the family was within.
The valley of the Rush river is scene
OF complete devastation. Buildings not
washed away by the stream are in many
instances buried and covered up with
mud. Stocks of merchandise i'll several
stores are total loss. From meager re-
ports i'll it would seem the loss would
reach 100000, or more. Among the
property destroyed are the Wringer
mills at Martelle, owned iy Harper
Nelson. The food was caused mainly
by numerous mill dams breaking.
