Many Homes in Chippewa Falls, Wis, Va
Gated Because of High Water.
CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis, Dec a.
Yesterday was a day of excitement
and anxiety and last night found the
inhabitants of this little village in q
state bordering ON panic The worst
of the situation is the knowledge of
the impending danger and the fact
that they are utterly helpless to stay
or to avert it Those whose houses
have been flooded have removed much
of their household goods and belong
ings to higher ground and are huddled
together in the schoolhouses and other
vacant buildings out of the path of the
torrent that is sweeping down sever
al of the main streets All hope
of breaking the gorge and thus
allowing the pent-up waters to gradu-
ally subside is now abandoned At
the Flambeau farm, Is miles above
this city, another ice gorge has formed.
The river has overlooked its banks and
inundated the country 20 miles on
either side. Domestic animals have
persisted by the score. Farms and
| farm houses are flooded, and the losses
| will reach into the hundreds of thou
| sands These reports are meager and
uncorroborated, but it is safe to esti
| mate that at least 8, 600 horses, cows
| and hogs have met death in the flood
