y WILE FLOOD. Unfounded Report of the Destruce tion of the Ogden Dam. AReporter’s Visit to the Country ‘ Along tho Desplaincs, A Vast Expanse of Water, Chiefly Tonanted by Wild Fowl. Tt wan reported yesterday thnt tho dam at the point where tho Ogden Ditch touches the Des- plaines River bnd given way, and that a flooding of thelumber district was threatened as n ree suit. During the afternoon soveral genttemon called upon City-Bogiocer Cregior to inquire in regard to the matter, but that gentleman took no stock in tho report,ns ho thought that the man in charge of the canal at tho Summit would havo heard of it, and would have notified tho city authorities at once. A'TiinuNe reporter wna dotalled to investl- gate the matter, and seo exactly what founda. tion thore was for the rumors. ‘Tho fact is, that vicinity bas never secon such high water as nat this time, The country fs flooded everywhere along and away from rae Streams: Tho rater for tho past -four days bas boen roaring an rushing over tho Ogden damdown tho ditch and into the Bouth Hravoh, With tho rush of ‘water in tho Dokftaites~have come huge mnascs of Ico, which, In piaces, baye torn away the banks and erdated -havou generally. THE DAM AT MUD,LAKE, known as tha-Nickarson Dain, has beon wholly ‘obliterated, and it Is the same with several others In this section. Dut the dam nt the caat end of tho Ozden Ditch still stands, and {8 kel: toremain. However, it is unquestionably mucl damnged. Tho water and tee rushing over it have had fn tendency to weaken it. Tho tco has crunched and crushed =ngalnat it ‘unt! it hos threatened ~—oat times to tear it from its very foundations. ‘That it is ahoken badly cannot be disputed, Portiona of tho. top bave beon carried away, leaving gaps whioh are visibly to tho naked oyo, and which can bo more plainly seen when the water aub- sides, ‘Tuesday the rush of !co and water wos at ita height, and Wednesday it had: somewhat subsided, Unt yestorday tho rush came with more fury than beforo, and this, no doubt, gavo rise to the report that tho dam had given way, which, fortunately, was not tho case, A TRIBUNE reporter ifeened afternoon took ® buggy-trip out to Riverside and Lyons, vin Oden avenue and West Twelfth streot.

Turolug west from Ogden avenue to Twelfth streot, tho scene becomes really picturcsuuo; about the only things visible above ground are THE STREETS AND FENCES, In some instauces the foncos have been washed away, The sole signs on vacant lots fre covercd, which stows that in places tho water Is from four to five fect in dopth, somothing horctofora unbenrd-of. For mitos and miles this same monotony of water presents itself. Tho Pun-Handio and Northwestern tracks appear tole in water, as there ore vast bodies of it on both sides of the rails, Crossing over the city line into Cicoro, at Crawford tho wator rushes across the Rivorside rond in a tor- rent.” Hero tho land in many: places Ia en- urely submerged, nod houses stand In vast pools of water, while farming linplemonts arc alt allont, buving been washed out of barns and sheds which housed them.

At many pointathero ure greot broad ditches, but they are more than lull.
