Anticipating its
demise, the
Courthouse (center)
was evacuated...
>>>

and stripped of
furnishings -- even
the window frames!

|
Town leaders decided
to change the course
of the river...

|
by secretly dynamiting
a nearby levee--
a federal offense!

The plan worked,

The town was saved,

and the identity of the
"demolition team"

is a secret to this day! |
