Ice Gorges in a Mad Rush.

Brainerd, Minn., April & Big ice gorges in the upper Crow Wing river broke and the water came down in a mad rush. The first obstacle struck was the 253-foot, three-span bridge at Pilager, which went with a crash. The bridge at Fort Ripley, acros* the Mississippi, also went out and It is reported that all other bridge* one at Sylvan and another near Motley, are gone.
