Louisville, KY, Jan. 19.-The grea,
ice gorge in the Ohio river broke al
several places between Louisville an0
Wolf Creek, the southernmost point OF
the gorge.
The break seemed to be the result
of general softening of the ice at all
points, but rivermen say it is too soon
to tell whether the great field, nearly
seventy miles in length, will move out
entirely or merely take up a new posi-
ton further south.
When the acres Of jagged ice began
rolling, tumbling and surging down
stream score of shanty boats, which
had been dragged from the stream fol-

officials are now on the watch for six
