TWO DAMS BREAK
AND FLOOD LAND
Great Volume of Water Sweeps
Black River Valley.
Hatfield and Black River Falls, Un-
prepared fer Aqueous Visitation,
Suffer Severely-Hundreds of
Houses Washed Away.

Two big dams on the Black river
near Lacrosse, Wis, have broken
and floods have swept the entire ter
ritory Hundreds of houses have been
washed away, their occupants have
fed to higher ground to save their
lives, and it is feared many are dead.
But for a warning sent out earlier
in the day it is declared the less CT
life would have been terrible. Tic
towns of Hatfield and Black River
Falls suffered most 1t is the worst
disaster in the Black River valley
Men on horseback rode ahead Of the
waters alter the dams broke ard
warned citizens to fee to the hi =
lands Black River Falls was least
prepared for the catastrophe Many
houses went out there as soon as the
torrent struck. 1t is not knows. how
many of their occupants were carrie ]!
away.
Reports from Hatfield indicate that
all there probably escaped, although
residences and business buildings
were carried down the valley.
The Hotel fremont, the leadiGg
hostelry in Black River Falls, and a
half dozen other big buildings in
which the principal businesses Of TIE
city were housed, were washed out.
They were undermined and collapsed.
The east side CT Water street has
been swept away by the current Pass
ing around the west side Of the cen
crete dam. The soft ground on vhic.i
the business portion of the town
stands, is being cut away and there is
no telling what the result of continu-
Gus flooding will be-
At II O'Clock the telephone operator

people, the county seat Of jackson
county, ten miles below Hatfield, re-
ported to headquarters here that wa

building, that people were moving cut
of houses in the lower part of town
and that it was dangerous to remain
longer Thereafter it was impossible
TO raise Black River Falls ON either
telephone line connecting it with La

Relief parties are being hastily or
gained here, scouts are being sent
out among the farmers warning them
to take to the high lands and prepare
tons are being made to combat the
higher waters expected at all villages
along the Black river, North Bend
Melrose, Holmen, Onalaska and La
Crosse are placed where the effect of
the sudden rise in the narrow chan
mel of the Black river will be felt
today.
Two are known to be dead, rumors
are reaching here hourly of other
casualties, and one report is that there
are forty dead. Confirmation of this
report is impossible, but while there
have undoubtedly been many fatalities
the number of dead can hardly be so
large, for it was known at daylight
that the Hatfield dam was imperiled
and the people through the valley
were warned. Only those who re
fused to hear, can have persisted

Finally Ascenueo MOUNTAIN.

After years of effort to reach It's
summit. which lies $500 feet above
sea level, Mount Hoffman, Australia,
has at last been conquered by motor
lists. The other day two motorists
climbed up to it's highest summit

100 cars have attempted to climb this

30 sharp that it is difficult in long
pull to lubricate the front cylinders of

Relics Of Past Ages.

An interesting discovery was made
recently at Spittal (Eng) by num-
Der of workmen. While digging oper-
atoms were being carried on, a guam
tity of human bones were turned up.
This was followed by the unearthing
OF a number of stone collins, each
containing human remains. The cof-
fins bore no resemblance to the mas
sive sarcophagus recently disinterred
at Berwick, but consisted simply of
rough stone slabs

The Sleep of Children.

There Is no physiological reason for
concluding that either the night or
the morning sleep is the more health
full. Children are, generally, night
sleepers, nevertheless there are chill
dren who, after they reach their third
year, sleep in the morning If child
sleeps late, there is no reason for
anxiety as long as his sleep is calm
and of adequate length.
