FORMED AT THE MOUTH OF THE
CHIPPEWA RIVERA BACK
WATER FLOOD.
MANY fAM|LYS FORGED FROM HOME
Much Suffering Endured-News From
the Blizzard Belt Reports Several Fa-
talities, With the Remote Dis
tricts Yet to Hear From.

Eau Claire, Wis, Nov. 3O.-An ice
gorge formed at the mouth of the Chin.
pewa, which caused the water to back
up rapidly during Saturday night and
Sunday morning. On the lowlands be.
low Durand the rise was so rapid that
many families had to flee in their night
robes to places of safety and leave their
all behind them. The suffering among
the women and children was intense and
many are reported as having frozen feet
and limbs. Those who could, fled to the
railroad track. There they built fire
and tried to protect themselves from the
frosty winds until relief arrived. An
engine and coach was sent out from Du-
rand yesterday and gathered up about
forty or fifty of these unfortunates, but
80 far the tran could only reach the upper
part of the town. Tonight farms and
farm buildings along six miles of the
Chippewa valley are under water. The
flood is being added to hourly at the rate
of six inches and before morning, unless
the gorge breaks, the city will be COM
pletely under water. At 8 O'Clock to-
night Easements of all buildings on
Spring street were flooded and in some
instances the lower floors are covered.

have furnished you with all the informa-
ton in my possession"
Chief Arnold and Chief Deputy Lew
is rode out to Oak Lawn this afternoon
and had long conference with Treasurer
COe. They went over the story of the
robbery with him again and secured all
the minor details that could possibly fur
nish clue that would lead to the iden-
tiication and arrest of the guilty parties.
On their return to the city reporter
visited police headquarters and inter
viewed Arnold, or rather attempted to in
terview him. He said, among other
things:
Sheriff Cabell is out of the city and /
have co-operated with Mr.. Lewis in at
tempting to unravel this case. The po-
lice department and the sheriff's Offices
have worked together and we have COW
cred the ground thoroughly and studied
every feature of the case. Sheriff Cabeli
will return tonight, when he will be ap-
prised of the result of our labors. How
ever, will say that we have not un-
earthed the slightest clue and are IA much
in the dark as we were last night"
The police and deputy sheriffs have
worked energeticaliy and increasingly,
with nothing to show for it. The money
has not been recovered and the robbers
have not been captured.
Friends of Treasurer Coe, who visited
him at his home this afternoon. say that
he complains Of sharp pains in the back
Of his head, neck and shoulders. He was
partially under the influence Of the OPT
ates administered by his physicians, and
is in no condition to give an ineligible
account of his experience with the rob-
bers who sacked the safe and then at
tempted to murder him. .!

Against the Valentine Mel IAughlin Gang

dence against Stephen A. Dutton, sup
posed to be the chief of the Valentine
Mclaughlin gang of swindlers, has been

pectus of the River Coaloil company of

acre plot of land which he claimed to
own for a place to be known as Hamp-
ton Park City. Handsome maps show
ing choice lots and public buildings to
be erected in this city in the wilderness
were found.
Many other documents were found,
some of which were genuine, but many
are believed to be schemes OF fraud used
by the gang.
A security of undoubted value was
found in a second-class mortgage. bond
of the Selma, Rome and Dalton railroad,
From this the coupons had been clipped
up to date. One of the bonds found was
that of the Cedar Tree Mining and Mill

BRYAN ON THE RESULT.
The Defeated Candidate Says the Victo,
ry for Gold is Only Temporary.

New York, Nov. 3O.-In the December
number of the North American Review,
published today, Mr.. Bryan has an ar
tlcle in which he discusses the result of
the election as affecting the status of
the silver question.
The issue on which the election turn
ed he ascribes as the general issue sub
mtted to the American people in time
of peace" The declaration of the Chi
cago convention in favor of the free coin
age of silver forced upon the people of
this country study of the money gues-
ton in general, and within the past four
months more people have been similarly
engaged than ever before in the history
of the world. This result of this study,
Mr. Bryan declares to be Temporary de-
feat but permanent gain for the cause
of bimetallism."
Mr.. Bryan regards it as a significant
fact that the silver sentiment was strong
est where the question had been longest
considered; that is to say, in the west
and south. In Mr.. Bryan's opinion the
cause of bimetallism made more rapid
progress than any cause ever made in
such a short time. He expresses himself
as of the belief that the election can be
by no means regarded as n conclusive
settlement of the question at issue. The
advocates of free coinage are convinced
he says, that they are laboring in be.
half of large majority of the people
not only here, but throughout the world
and, according to the writer, they pro
pose to continue the contest, confident
that four years more of experience will
convince many who have thus far re-
sisted arguments.
In reference to the gold standard demo
Gratis, Mr.. Bryan feels assured they can
not do as much in 1900 as they have
done this year They have declared theil
affection for democratic principles, while
they spared no effort to secure the sue
cess of the opposing ticket.
''They can not" he says, disguise
themselves again.
