FLOOD CAUSES
IMMENSE LOSS
Damage in Wisconsin Esti-
mated at Sl,5OO,OOO.
WATERS NOW RECEDING
Heavy Financial Loss Due Partly to
the Fact That the Territory Az
fected Is Rich In Diaries and Many
Thoroughbred Cattle Were Drowned.


Milwaukee, Sept. 15.-Late dis
patches indicate that storm losses
will total about 81. 500, 200. This is
the best estimate which can be pro-
cured of the damage throughout the
southern tier of counties. The heavy
losses are due in part to the fact that
the territory affected, where large
numbers of thoroughbred cattle were
drowned, is the richest dairying part
of the state.
Dispatches indicate that the floods
are receding.
Following are the best estimates OBJ
tainable by counties:
Green County-Including cities OF
Albany and Brodhead, $25O,O00.
Rock County-Including Edgerton,
where 100 families were driven from
home, $500, 900.
Lafayette County-lncluding fires
at Argyle set by quicklime and dam.
age at Woodward and other Pecato.
MICA river points, 100000.
Dane County-Including losses oil
power dams at Stoughton, Fulton and
other points, 100000.

by buildings burned by lightning
