Pierce Call: The dam at the mill
came near going out Monday evening
and only through the hard work of Ed
Whitmore and other members of the
mill force was 1t saved. A little whirl
in the water near the east pier of the
dam was noticed by Mr.. Whitemore in
the afternoon He went to the mill
for help and during his short absence
the water made quite a hole and was
sucking through with great velocity.
The whirlpool increased rapidly until
the hole appeared as large as wagon
wheel. It was only after hard work
that the hole was filed with sacks of
hay and the water stopped Late I'm
the evening il was found that the
water had broken through again and
then came another hard battle before
the danger was over. II is supposed
that the trouble first started by a
muskrat burrOwng through the foun-
datiOn of the dam. The splashboards
were removed and the water is direct
ed through the nume during the re
pairing of the dam.
