More than 150 families already had fled their homes St Chaska and others were (ready to flee if necessary when the crest hits.? ; W etcher man A. D. Sanial said at La Crosse, ,Wis„ that the situation on-the Mississippi from St. Paul/to Guttenberg, la. ; was becoming “steadily worse.”* He predicted the highest flood in 10 years. The situation was especially critical because of a coal barge hung up on a dam a short distance upstream

from Chaska. The big barge threatened to break the dam, sending a sOfoot wall of water down the valley. Engineers planned to try to sink the barge today if it could not be moved. The Minnesota’s creet was downstream from Mankato, Minn., where 6,000 persons were returning to homes that suffered $5,000,000 Flood warnings were posted for 100 miles from St. Peter, Minn., to Chaska, where the crest will arrive Thursday night. At least 100 families fled their homes near St. Paul. In Texas, meanwhile, 70-mile-an-ho.ur winds Whipped up dust storms yesterday that cut visibility to 10 feet and caused new suffering to fanners already suffering severe wheat tosses. At Denver, residents were shoveling out from under a nine-inch snowfall. In Wisconsin, the Black, Chippewa and Wisconsin rivers were out of their banks at some points. Sandbagging crews were at work in Cedar Rapids, la., where the Cedar river spilled into city streets.
