MT. LAKE PARK


However, the trouble seems to be the
inaccuracy of dates. For instance, the
question of when did the breaking of
the old dam at the lake occur? At
that time we were reminded Of the old
wooden steps which were built at the
top Of the hill above the bowling alley
and ran to the foot Of the hill. The
month Of the cloudburst was June,
that we are certain is correct. 1t was
early in the afternoon when the storm
began. Then the dam at the lake gave
way and water came pouring through
the glade washing the four-foot walk
entirely away. Wiley yelling thinks
the date was 1896, others say 1897 or
'98. If any reader has the right date
we should like to know. After tse
flood an ice house was built and the
railroad switch laid near the ice house.

side where the water ran in before it
reached the trough.
