WISCONSIN TOWN
SWEPT BY FLOOD
Thousands of Dollars i'm Property
Destroyed

Black River Falls, Wis, Oct. T.
With almost the entire business
dis ,rict of Black River falls swept
away by the water from reservoirs
above Hatfield and Dell dams, and
with the flood still raging because
of the heavy rains. the people of
Black River Falls are left homeless,
and without food and shelter. Every
thing on four business streets is
swept away. and the current
sweeps through what was once the
heart of the city.
Every grocery store, meat market
and other source Of food supply Is
gone and the people have appealed
tor outside aid, The banks of the
river are slowly being washed away
and as most of the city was built on
sand, it is the general opinion that
the town a never be rebuilt
on its present location. The course
of the river has so changed that
the main channel passes through
the business streets. The shock of
the first force of the flood and the
destruction of the business district
had nerved the residents for any
catastrophe and the destruction of
buildings all through the night
caused unusual excitement. The
residents of Black River Falls had
ample time to escape and thus far
no loss of life is reported Some
damage reported at North Bend,
twenty miles below here.

Commissioner Bulser himself ques-
toned the witness infinitely regarding
these occurrences.
Eagle testified there was nobody IN
charge Of the f%umigating room.
Anybody who happened TO he around
would be told TO fumigate the
blankets. The engineer was supposed
TO do It, but no rarely did. None OF
the ordcrlies knew anything about fumi.
eating. Often when the place vas
crowded only part Of the blankets were
fumigased. Tho rest were sent back
with the others a. having been fumi-
gated and put on the beds.
Al these times there was never
enough help to fumigate all the
blankets. There was never a nurse or
any n In authority to supervise the
work.
