Williams Dike at Shelby Gave Way—Damage to Land.

The Williams dike, about a mile west of Shelby and south of the G„ I. & S. railroad, broke this Monday morning, about fifty feet going out. The water inside the dikeprotected enclosure was raising at the rate of about two feet an hour. It was expected that by night it would be up to the Monon tracks. As it was just plowing' time tne water will cause a great amount of damage.
