The lake rose to such a height, last

placed on the dam that the lake wall
of G. M. Breinig's and the grounds Of

caused to be put on by parties wholly
unacquainted with the high water
mark or ignorant of the fact how
much rubbish such screen will catch
and consequently raise the lake to
greater height and it looks as though
the parties most DESTROYS of the screen
