FROM THE RIVER.

Threatening the entire First Illinois

where the break occurred and repair il
At point about three miles above the
camp the patrol found that already IA
considerable stream of water from the
river was flowing into Valley through
break about twenty feet long in the
lcvee. a force Of laborcrs who were Ia
ken there for the purpose was put To
work TO stop the break, work that at
that time was already difficult.
RumorS rapidly spread to Brownsville
to the effect that a malicious attempt
had been made to flood the camp. As
far as any indications appearing at the
place of the break or otherwise il con
termed il was said to be impossible TO
determine whether thcb rcak was acci-
dental or the work Of human agencies.
