The ice il the Missouri river ad
jacent to Bismarck has been break.
ing up in spots for the past ten
days. Monday at s p. m. the Ice along
the east shore let loose and moved
downstream several hundred feet, and
at G::30 p. m. was running freely. The
gage at that time read 80. %i
sool after p. M. the river began
to rise rapidly and at 1O:30 p. m.
had reached SO feststa rise OF s.9stn
two and one-half hours. At midnight
the gage read 100, and at 1:30 1t was
1915. Or within 3.5 feet OF the high
bank below Bismarck, the first point
at which the river leaves its banks.
While it Is not expected that the
river will leave its banks before early
this morning, residents of the low.
lands we're personally warned to be
prepared to move out Immediately
upon further warnings.
Just where the forge formed it is
impossible to say, owing to the fact
that it formed after sunset and no
telephone connection could be had
either above or below Bismarck. The
river at l:N a. m. this morning was
full Of ice and raising at the rate Of
