FLOOD THREATENS
THE Twin CITIES
ICE GORGE FORMS BELOW ANoKA
AND RIVER RAISES 20 FEET
IN 24 HOURS.
GREAT DISASTER IS FEARED
RESIDENTS ALONG RIVER FRONT
IN TWIN CITIES HAVE BEEN
WARNED.

st. Paul, Nov. PA dam of thin
ice in the Mississippi river is all that
stands between the cities of st. Paul
and Minneapolis and mighty lake of
backwater which is liable to descend
at any moment upon the fiat residents
Of both cities and sweep away them
and their belongings.
The ice gorge formed Saturday
night about three miles below Anoka.
The warm WEATHER of the last two
days loosene5 the ice that had formed
in the river. 1t became lodged below
Anoka and continues to stack up there.
Disaster Threatens.
The backwater at Anoka is now
twenty feet high, and many of the res
idents near the river have had to
move their cattle from the barns, and
II The rise continues much longer they
will have to move from their houses.
The danger to St. Paul and Minneap-
oils lies in the possibility of the water
going out with a rush. The ice gorge
is half mile wide. extending across
the river, and about four miles long.
The ice is not thick, and if it suddenly
ehould give way, the immense lake
which it has formed will move down
upon the hat-dwellers, endangering
lives and property
Highest on Record.
The Oldest residents of Anoka have
never seen an ice gorge form in the
river at this time of the year; and not
in the memory of the oldest inhabitant
of the town has the water been so
high.
Residents of the flats in both cities
have been notified of the danger and
are making what preparations they
can to prevent losses.
