PATRICK BRUSSELS No DAMAGE DONE AT BRUSSELS OTHER SEC111ONS HAVE HEAVY LOSSES AS : DAMS, BRIDGES AND ROADS ARE CARRIED AWAY. AT WROXETER. As a result of the severe electri- cal storm, which was accompanied by by a rain storm of almost cloud burst proportious Friday afternoon, Wrox• eter and vicinity experienced one of the worst floods in its history. Early in the evening the water began to rise and every effort was made to relieve the sitdation but when the Fordwich and Gorrie dams broke the volume of water proved too great and the dam here was washed away. The continued rush of water under -mined the large iron bridge and at 10 a. m. Saturday with but little warning it collapsed. Clarence White had just driven on it with bus car and was carried down with the bridge having an almost miraculous escape from death. He managed to get out of the car and was carried down the river several rods when he secured hold of the roots of an up -turned tree to which he clung until George Gibson and John Munro by means of a raft came to his rescue. The lower part of the village was badly flooded and considerable dam- age was done. At what is known as Day's bridge the water crossed the road and had washed part of it away, so that until repairs were made the business men living in the lower part of the vil- lage were obliged to go to Gerrie in order to reach their homes. Much sympathy is expressed. for H. Smith in the loss of the dam, as he had only recently purchased the mill and his loss will be heavy. Jt is expected that work on the new dam will be commenced at once.
