Sept 21 fll.fi The new 1 .000.000 Wyandotte county dam was destroyed after collapse of the center section of the dirt filled embankment. The dam, a WPA project five miles north of here was 1400 feet long and 80 feet high. Eight hun dred feet of the center section sank some 50 feet while subsequent cave ins lowered most of the rest. The Wyandotte county lake was designed as a public recreation pro ject. The dam was supposed to form a lake 33 acres in area. It was started in December, 1935. and would have been finished in two weeks. Huge cracks, some of them two feet wide, suddenly appeared along the too of the dam. There were low rumblings, and as the struc ture dropped, a cloud of dust arose that blinded Apectators. No one was Injured, although two carloads of sightseers and a night watchman narrowly escaped being trapped in the "earthquake." Engineers said quicksand de posits apparently were responsible for the collapse.
