Lower Portions of the City Threat
ened With Flood.

MILWAUKEE. Wis, March 20-An
ice jam at Humboldt, on the Milwau-
kee river six miles above the city
threatened to cause a disastrous flood
this afternoon. The jam was broken
with dynamite and the great masses
of ice swept down the river carrying
with it summer houses, boat houses
boat landings, fences and other prop
erty. Tonight it is lodged against the
piers of North avenue bridge an iron
structure 1900 feet long and so feet
high, and the bridge is in imminent
danger of being carried out. If the
gorge breaks it is feared it viii carry
out the stone dam at that point and

the city, and is lined with business
houses. In that event the damage to
property would be enormous The flood
