Show ONE TOWN IS DRY; OTHER IN DARKNESS Special to The Tribune. SHOSHOXt, Wyo.. Dec. 28. Fear that the Boysen dam across the Big Horn river, twelve miles from this place, had QPe,! undermined by the waters of tlie great Hike whirl) the dam holds, has been relieved by the discovery that the draining drain-ing of the lake during the prist week is the resnll of Hie destruction of one of the gales in the flam by ire pressure. Had the diim been undermined it would have been merely a question of time until t he entire M rurture collapsed. Damages are being rapidly repaired. Shoslmni is in darkness as a result of the damage, unci Thermopolis is without a water supply, t he closing of the gate having caused the river to recede until It is below the Intake of tlie town's waterworks. |
