About two o'clock yesterday molding, the
Ice broke up in Oil Creek at Pioneer, and
cams down with a rush, forming a gorg
abo.it half way between the Boyd and Eg

some distaocs, causing several families re
siding sloag tbe banks ot tba Creek to move
out in bnrry. For n abort time It was
feared tbe w bole upper ead of tba toan
would ba iwept over by tbe huge masses of

other at lbs gorge. So great was Ike alarm
felt that many famil iea commenced moving
out tbelr bousebold effect. Fortunately,
during the day yesterday, the water in tbe
Creek fell, aud oa further damage is appre
hended st present.
