KATHRYN, N.D. — A convoy of trucks, excavators, bulldozers and backhoes moved in to fortify a seeping dam Thursday in eastern North Dakota as engineers and National Guard troops worked to save a tiny town that would flood if the dam fails.
Water was flowing like a miniature waterfall around a corner of the earthen Clausen Springs Dam, which protects the town of Kathryn, downhill and about 6 miles east. The water was eating through walls of the spillway built to handle the extra water volume along a tributary of the flooding Sheyenne River.
