the south and the railroad enbankment
on the north the residents of the dis
trict south of the Northwestern found
| themselves in a veritable trap. The
dam broke. the waters from the hills
poured down, but there was no outlet
for the flood save through the low iron
bridge west of the station or over the
tracks. South Denison was soon con-

household goods were destroyed.
