 Shortly afterward knoll sixty feet long north of it was undermined and then the poor house, great white building three or four stories high went with it.
 When ahe waters appeared the fire bell called everyone to the streets It was sounded to get the people out to assist the residents on the flats in removing their goods
 The warehouses were swept away clean The Job dry goods store on the corner went all to pieces. Then the building adjoining it disappear ed

La crosse, WlS., October 6--The situation at Black River Falls, the prosperous little city of 2000 people Swept by flood this afternoon, when the waters of the Black river swol- len by recent rains washed through the embankment of the La Crosse Water Power company's dam at Hat field, is tonight worse by far than was even feared when the deluge burst upon the unfortunate town.
 Half of the business section has been destroyed, together with a part of the residence district and it is alleged by the residents wlio have taken refuge on the highlands that the city will be wiped off the map
 Whether lives have been lost is not yet certain. The people have been scattered and tonight canvasses are being made to determine if any are missing. Many persons have not been accounted for and the may have been swept away by the flood.
 At o'clock tonight between 25 and 30 business houses, comprising all stores on two streets, have been de- stroyed, together with about this number of homes. At that hour the waters were rising rapidly and the destruction of the stores on the oth- CT business streets was predicted be- fore morning.
 The buildings have not been mere y flooded but destroyed. The Ire mont hotel, substantial three story structure, was the first to go and one building after another followed No precautions could he taken to stop the wrecking of the town. The people, although they knew of the )yerflowing of the dam showed lif-
 fear of it's effect until the waters 1urst upon them.
 The city is tonight in darkness, the electric light plant being one Of he first to be struck by the flood
 The disaster was caused by the sudden rise of the Black river behind he two dams Of the La Crosse Water Power company, following rains which asted almost a week The dams githstood the pressure but in each ,ase the river washed around the sides. taking out big section of the river bank and coming down upon the country below in almost as great volume as though the dams had been swept away
 The five million dollar property of the water company is believed to be not greatly damaged and tonight 1t is said that the main dam, which is of concrete 100 feet thick at the base, and 50 feet at the top, would probably stand all the force which might be directed against it. Be- sides the damage at Black River Falls, great tract of surrounding country was overrun. Effort was made to send warnings to farmers, but telephone wires soon went down and the fate of many settlers who tnew nothing of the flood until it struck their immediate localities, Is the cause of some apprehension.
 Below Black River Falls are a number of villages. and the high waters are due to strike them during the night and tomorrow
 Forces of men have been sent out to strengthen the bridges in the
 hree counties along the river.
 Cut off by telegraph the news from Black River Falls is being sent to La Crosse tonight by the Wisconsin Telephone company, which has sta toned man on top of a telephone "ole. He is sending his report as we'll as tine flooded lines permit
