WAsHoUT CAUSED BIG LOSS.
High Water at Hayward Ruined Dam
and Bridges.

Hayward.-The recent washout at
Hayward forced the shutting down OF
the big mill of the North Wisconsin
Lumber & Manufacturing company
for a month The dam has been car
ried out and two bridges ruined. Five
million feet of logs were washed
through the dam, at which an 1S-foot
head of water was maintained. The
electric light plant and the mill were
both operated by this dam. Part of
the railway at the track was washed
away by the rush of the water, about
80 feet being carried out, the railroad
track sagging as it hung over the
washed out portion of the river bed
A wagon bridge 800 yards above the
dam was carried out when the dam
gave way, and logs were piled up in
various odd shapes when the force of
the water was spent One hundred
yards below the dam the railway
bridge was dropped into the river,
logs jumping entirely over the bridge
when the break came. After the food
had passed only the rails held the
structure together, the piling having
been carried out

plot, partly another direct line by
which it is hoped to show that Hay

for the same desperate work, and

TO Orchards general story.
The Haywood defense closed the
cross-examination Of Harry Orchard
by fierce attack on his motives in
confessing. He was moved to tears,
but maintained that he was actuated
solely by a desire to make reparat1on
for his crimes and save his soul.
The Haywood defense carried the
cross-examination of Orchard down to
the Steunenberg murder. The wit
