Eau Claire, Wis, Dec. 1.-The ice
formed a gorge at the mouth of the
Chippewa which caused the water to
back up rapidly Saturday night and
Sunday morning. On the low lands 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 in
tense and many are reported as having
frozen feet and limbs. AS rule those
who could fled to the railroad track.
There they built a fire and tried to
protect themselves from the frosty
winds till relief arrived.
An engine and coach sent out from
Durand Sunday morning gathered up
about forty or fifty of these unfortu-
nate people, but so fast was the water
rising that the train had to go back to
Durand. 1t is thought that some Of
the people were not reached by the res
cuing party, and possibly may have
persisted. The bottoms are all under
water and stock and produce are a
complete loss. Dead domestic animals
could be seen all about the neighbor-
hood frozen stiff in the water. In most
Of the homes were stored the winter
