RAILROADS IN BAD SHAPE From Eight to Ten Thousand Passen- gers Stalled in the State With Lit- tle Hope of Rescue for Some Time to Come.

While Mr. Bailey was in St. Paul he sat on the bench wiith the muni- cipal -judge and was given a few pointers as to/how to conduct a municipal court; total destruction in scveral of the rick valleys of the state, with damage to railroad lines estimated at more than $1,000,000, while the systems scarcely can be put upon a normal basis under two weeks, with from 8,000 to 10,000 passengers stalled in this state witk little hope of immediate rescue, Mon: tana is expcriencing the worst flood in the history of the state. The Northern Pacific has moved here from Logan many of the west- ‘bound passengers stalled at that point, but it is now impossible to get a train in or out of Butte over any railway. The Great Northern trains to and from Helena are tied up near Basin. The Northern Pacific officials frank- ly confess that they don’t know where their express trains are, nor can the whereabouts of the Oregon Short Line trains be learned. The new roadbed of the St. Paul west cf here is badly washed out in many places. The Butte, Anaconda and Pacific has Icst four bridges be- tween here and Anaconda. Because of washouts on the Great Northern the Boston and Montana properties in Butte probably will close, throwing thousands of men out of work here and forcing the smelter at Great Falls, which employs thou- sands more, {0 shut down. Butte is still without sireet cars, lights and electrical power of any sort. The damage in this city bhas been slight, but the property loss has been heavy on the lowlands west and south of here and loss of life is feared. The damage to the new roadbed of the St. Paul alone will probably reach $500,- 000. TORNADO IN NEBRASKA. Five Persons Killed and Four Fatally Injured. Geneva, Neb.,, June 8.—At least five W % TCIRaG0 Waivil SWODL GOTORR $ha- more county and destroyed everything in its path. A list of dead follows: Luiu Smith, domestic in home of John Shively; Irene Shively, four years old, daughter of John Shively; Elijah Ar- genbricht, two miles east of Schick- ley; two children of Mr. Small, near North Branch, Kan. The tornadoes, two in number, were practically the climax of a serles of smaller storms which have passed over Western and Southwestern Ne- braska for two days. Starting in the southwestern part of the county the tornado clouds became larger as they moved northeast, destroying every- thing in their path. Apparently separating the two tor- nadoes swept separate paths across the country, levelling farmhouses, killing stock and destroying crops. They rose and fell at Intervals, the first destruction being two miles east of Schickley, where John Argenbricht was killed in his home and John Mer- rlam was fatally injured. Moving towards Geneva the veloctty of the clouds increased until they struck the ground half a mile west of here, entirely destroying the home of John Shively. The four-year-old daugh- ter was instantly killed by falling tim- ber and an older son, Ross Shively, recelved injuries from which he will prabably die. Mrs. Shively also was dangerously injured and her husband badly hurt. Lulu Smith, the domestic, was in an upper room and her body was found several hundred feet from the ruins. Guessed It.
