Many Black River Falls Merchants
9ankrupt-Town May Not Rebuild.
Lacrosse, Wis, Oct. 9.-The flood
from the Hatfield dam is now sweeping
the country just north Of Lacrosse and
is increasing the heighth Of the Missis-
sippi river here at the rate Of an
inch an hour. At 8 o'clock this morn
ing the river stood at s.S feet above
zero. a rise Of almost four feet since
last Saturday morning. The river is
higher here today than 1t has been pre-
viously in three years.
The Northwestern railway tracks.
Just above Lacrosse, are under water.
there having been in some places a
rise Of fifteen feet. Traffic is COM
pletely cut off. Considerable damage is
reported to farm property in the low
lands.
That Black River Falls may not be
rebuilt is the opinion of many. The
surrounding country is too rough for
farming and with the manufacturing
plants DESTROYED there is little left to
maintain the town.
It is conceded here today that one
of the distressing results Of the food
will be the nling Of petitions in bank
ruptcy by many merchants. Losses
from $4,000 to $4,000 are numerous.
