'tcrday was u day of excitement nnd
anxiety, nnd Inhabitants of this little1 vll
lngo arc lu iv Btuto bordorltig on panic, The
worst of tho situation Is tho knowlcdgo of
tho linpoiHllug danger, and tlmt they nre
utterly helpless to stay or avert It Those
whoso I10UBO6 havo been Uoodod hnvo ro
cioved their household goods hnd belong
lugs to higher ground, and nro huddled
together In tho sohoolhousO and othor va
cnutvbulldlngs out of tho path of tho tor
rent that Is sweeping 'flown sovornl of the
malu streets.
All hopo of breaking tho gorgo, nnd
thus allowing tho pent up waters to grad
ually subside, Is now abandoned. Efforts
yesterday Were directed towards removing
household goods and merchandise out of
tho reach of tho flood. All teams In tho
city have boen engaged In this work.
Every resident nnd buslnoss firm on Hlver
street lias moved out. Tho Chippewa
Lumber and Doom company's mill nnd
yards ara under water, and all hopo ha
boon glvon up of saving tho entire busl
noss portion of tho placo from bolug sub
merged. It was reported'yostorday that nnother
gorge was forming thirty mllos abovo
oro, xnd this greatly added to tho alarm,
as In caso It should brjnk nothing could
save the city from bolng swept away.
Keports of n very serious naturo enmo
from down tho river. Tho country every
where Is flooded. Tho gorgo cOntlnuos to
grow In oxtcDt.
It Is now over flvo mllos
long, and lu many places thirty to fifty
fcot high. It completely dams the river,
nnd this is what Is causing tho rapid rlso.
ThO heavy rains of last week wero fol
lowed by n sudden froczo, which quickly
massed tho floating Ico In tho Chlppowa,
and the swiftly Tunning curront contin
ually added to It until It renchod Its pres
ent gigantic proportions.
llelow hero tho Chlppowa is falling.
There Is no flood nt Kan Clalro, but this
fact is causing tho pooplo at that placo
much uueaslnoss, as it Indicates that tho
water is bolug 'piled up as by a dam above
them. The lco pack at Hndgcr Mills, half
way between Kau Clalro and Chlppuwa
Falls, is growing In oxtent, and everything
seems to indicate that tho river Is choking
Is not believed that anything serious
can happen undor tho present conditions
for tit least a day or two. Kveryono has
.been sulUclontly warned, and Is In readi
ness to fly tho moment tho crash comos.
Tho buslnoss portion of Chlppowa is
abandoned, and the flood may sweep away
many of the buildings without damaging
scarcely a dollar's worth of merchandise
nnd other Tulunblo goods that woro stored
there until yestorday. Tho coutents of
tho buildings havo boon stored in unoc
cupied structures In remote portions af
tho city, where tho flood cannot roach un
loss tho entire .city is overwhelmed and
swept nwny.
Tho pOstoflioo Is under threo feet of
water, aud Postmaster McColm has moved
tho olllco seven blocks from its old location.
Toll storos on tho south sldo of Spring
street nro inundated. Tho ofllcos of The
Herald and Tho Independent, newspapers,
uro flooded, and tho papers are being Is
sued from othor buildings.
At tho Flambeau farm,' flfteou' miles
abovo this city, another' lco gorgo has
formed. Tho river lias overflowed Its banks
and inundated the country twenty miles
cither sldo. Domestic- uulmals hnvo jwr
lshed by tho score. Purmsnnd farmhouses
are flooded, and tho losses, will reach into
tho hundreds of thousands. It is safe to
estimate that at least 3,000 horsos, cows
and hogs huvo met death in tho flood.
Tho most stubborn resistance offered by
tho obstruction is 111 that portion of tho
river betweon tho wagon brldgo and tho
.central railroad bridge, about half a mllo
Jn length. Yestorday Mayor Lindloy or
dered an explosion of C00' pounds of dy
namite, but after 300 pounds had beon ex
ploded tho experiment was abaudonod as
failure. Hallroad olllcials who viewed I
the gorgo stato that there Is not sufllcleut
dyuumlto ubtalnablo to blast n channel
through tho lco.
A dispatch from Durand, Wis., fays:
Tho lco gorgo which beguu qt West
Newton, on tho Mississippi, and gradually
extended up the Chlppowa Friday, has
reached Hound Hill, throo miles below
tills city. Tho nearness of tho gorgo has
forced tho water at this point higher than
at any tlmo during the flood, although the
river Is slightly falling. Tho eighteen
mileti of tho Chippewa below Hound Hill
Is one Held of packed lco, upd tho bottom
IumU ovr which tho Chicago, .Milwaukee
mid St. Paul railway track runs Incom
pletely submerged.
At Hound Hill tho river Is flanked by
bluff, which inako n gorgo very daugor
ous to tho city, although tho wldo bottom
on tho wost sldo, making tho river over a
mile wldo at this point, causos the water
to rlso klowly. Aa far as known no lives
havo beon lost, but those living on the
Chippewa bottoms liavo lioen rescued with
dllliculty. Sovornl families on tho Hut- ,
falo county sldo wero drlvou from their
homes at 2 o'clock Sunday morning by
tho forming of a gorgo at Plum Island.
Scantily dressed, thoy waded through tho
lco and wntor to a high point on tho rail

on Uvcry 3!ntcrlnl l'ulnt.
Dl'umiUE, la., Dee. 8. Tho final decis
ion in tho caso of Illshop Donacuin and
his priosts, Fathers' llurphy and Fit.
gerald, was rendered-last night. Tho
priosts aro sustained at every material
point. Tho'caso attracted much'attcntlon
in church circles and has been bdforo the
public slneo April, 1805, wh'cul Ulbhop
Donacuin, of the -Nebraska Gathollc dio
cese, attempted to discipline Fathers Fitz
gerald and Murphy for alleged infraction
of rulos. They deniod his authority to
expel thorn from tho prlosthood nnd tip
poalod to Homo.
The caso was remanded back to thomot
ropolitan court horo, nnd after' sovcrnl
postponements camo up a few month ugo,
wlietf testimony was hoard. This WnH ro
forred to Father P. A. Danrt; of Marshall,
Mich. Ho oxamtned tho testimony on both
6ldes, as well as.tho church nuthorltlos,
and then presented his findings to the
cjcloslastlcal court last night, sustaining
tho priests and against tho course pursued
by Illshop Douacum. The findings were
approved by tho court. This decision Is
final, and ends a caso that has beon fought
through all tho church courts and six
times In tho civil courts, tho decision nf
tho latter having always boon ngain.st tho
uisnop.
Tho decision restores Fathers Fitzgorald
and Murphy to prlosthood, gives them the
parishes! held before their oxpulslon by
Donacuin, and prohibits tho bishop from
causing thom further trouble on account
of their relationship to both parties.

Gchrkc's Itecovery Is Still a iMatler of
Doubt.
A CLAIM OF SELF DEFENSE MADE.
It Is Alleged That Thomas Welsh Fired the
Shot After Himself and Two Brothers
Had Beon Set Upon by a Crowd.
, More Arrests Made.
.John Oehrke, the fanner who was shot at
Applepate's hotel in llingtown on Monday
night by James Welsh, is still in a critical
condition and confined to tho hotel. Dr.
Iteutschlcr, tho physician in attendance, says
the bullet has not been found. If it should
not be found tho man will die. In the event
of its extraction the chances for recovery will
be good. Uehrke's homo is only about a niilo
from tho hotel, but the doctor will not permit
his removal there.
From the developments made beforo Jus
tice Staufl'cr at lilngtown it now appears that
Welsh did shoot Oehrke cither while defend
ing his younger brother or in self defense.
It appears that Jerry Hawk, John Uchrke,
Samuel Eisenhower, Thomas and James
Welsh aud a younger brother encased in a
gamo of cards In the bar room of tho hotel
un Mondaj- night. Tho proprietor of tho
hotel and M. Stauller wero spectators.
lteforo tho game started It vraa agreed that
tho first player caught clienting would bo
obliged to set up tho drinks for the crowd,
as a penalty. Hawk, it is alleged, was caught
violating tho confidence of the other players
and ho paid the penalty. After all hands had
their drinks tho game again proceeded. Tho
party was in a jolly mood over tho clever
manner in which Hawk had been forced to
set 'cm up. Suddenly some one of the party
charged Ciehrko with cheating, in
that ho was playlug with six, instead
of flvo cards. Gchrko promptly denied
tho charge, saying that it was a mis
take. Tho younger of the Welsh brothers
called him a liar. Gehrko s temper im
mediately jumped to a high pitch and ho
sprang at tho young man to resent tho insult.
This was like applying a torch to a heap of
powder. All the men jumped to their feet
and u general fight followed, Applegato and
Stauller also taking a hand lu it. It also
appears that the party became divided in
sympathy, the Welsh brothers being on ono
sldo against tho others and were badly kicked
nnd beaten. The younger Welsh charges
that during tho fight Uherko drew a knife
and it was then that Thomas Welsh dicw his
revolver and fired tho shot.
After tho affray tho Welsh brothers hur
ried to their farm. Each of them have Imdly
cut and biuised faces as evidences of tho
fight. Sentiment in I'ingtown Is against
them, however, and the iiiurmuriiigs about
the place were so bitter yesterday that it
was not considered advisable fur any of them
to Msii Lie village, nut when NeMi was
taki n to Justice Staull'er's olllco and entered
$a,0ou for his appearance at court no attempt
was made to molest mm. Tho sentiment has
changed somewhat, however, since later
developments show that tho shooting was
not committed in cold blood aud without
provocation, as at first reported.
Yesterday afternoon the younger Welsh
appeared before Justico McCoruiick and
swore but warrants for tho arrest of Oehrke,
Hawk, Stauller, Applegato and Eisenhower,
charging them witli assault and battery.
All but Oehrke wero arrested and cnteied
bail for trial at court. Should Oehrke re
cover, lie will also bo put under ball for trial

Two l'uku Collectors.
Tenants of landowners aro warned against

learned that a few days ago two men, one
quite young and the other middle-aged,
called upon a West Lloyd street tenant of
the Estate and demanded payment of rout,
stating that they had been sent by Mr.
Gregory to make collection. As"thecall was
mado earlier than usual the tenant s suspic

Mr. Gregory learned of the affair when ho
went to make tho collection. Ho duos not
