into other streams and the famous
waterfall which runs through the cen

the houses in the neighborhood to vi
pirate from its force. The climax
came at IL o'clock Thursday evening.
About that hour the main street of the
usually quiet town resounded with the
ominous sound of long, loud brgls calls
recognized in the neighborhood as the
caIl of alarm and the signal that as
ststance was badly needed. The wa
terfall had increased to mighty pro-

wood came laundering down. Earli-

all ovef the town had gone out and the
upper bridge on the main road TO the
Rockstein had fallen. A little later
the one below the big waterfall gave
way.
All communication with the nearest
station, Lend-Gaste, has been cut off
owing to the fall OF the bridge and
the few visitors remaining there are
