has ever been in the history of this

CHAPMAN MUST SERVE.

Supreme Court Dismisses the Writ Of

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The supreme
court has dismissed the writ Of error in
the case of Elverton B. Chapman, the
New York broker, charged with violat-
ing the statutes in refusing to answer
questions put by the senate sugar trust
Investigation committee two years ago.
This makes it necessary for Chapman
to serve his sentence, at least techni-
cally. He will doubtless be promptly
surrendered by his bondsmen and the
case again carried to the supreme court
on habeas corpus proceedings to test the
constitutionality Of the act on which
the prosecution is based.

EAU CLAIRE, Wis, Dec. 1.-Great

from 20 to 40 feet i'll depth and has

A tale of suffering was brought to
this city By Andrew Suter and John
Langdon of Durand. Suter says that
the bottom lands on both sides of
Durand are flooded, and many families
had to flee from their beds in scanty
night robes to places of safety. Many
are reported as having feet and limbs
frozen. An engine and coach was sent
out from Durand and gathered up
about so unfortunates, but so fast was
the water rising that the train had to
return. It is thought that some of the
people wero not reached by the rescu-
ing party. Many domestic animals
were seen in the water frozen stiff.

buildings along six miles of the Chip
pewa valley are under water. The
flood is being added to hourly at the
rate of six inches, and before morning,
unless the gorge breaks, this city will
be partly under water. Easements of
all buildings on Spring street are flooded
and in some instances floors are under
water. People living in or occupying
business houses in the lower part Of the
city are hastily removing their personal
effects to higher ground. In 1894 Il
similar flood occurred, causing loss of
many thousands of dollars. A great
deal of railway property is threatened
and
Many Highway and Railway Bridges
will probably be swept away. Below
the immense gorge the river is prac-
tically dry and when the ice breaks the
body of water in the reservoir must
carry destruction to the valley below.

that OF Chippewa Falls has passed. Be-
