OMAHA, Nebr., June 7.—The Re- publican River Valley in Southwest Nebraska—scene of the disastrous 1935 flood that took upward of 200 lives and caused property damage that ran into the millions—entered she troubled Nebraska flood picture today. Hea rains near Sterling and Holyoke, Colo., caused the French- man Creek to rise swiftly. A power dam was washed out south of Im- perial, and water was reported in the streets of Wauneta Northeastern Nebraska, where 11 persons perished in Tuesday’s floods, met new obstacles as waters from Plum Creek roared past West Point, and it was feared another flood would result in at least a portion of that town. Rains near Beemer saused the new rise. Two flood crests rolled down the F¥lkhorn River Valley, one from the rains Monday night and Tuesday, | $he other from Wednesday night's downpour, inundating thousands of scres of lowland farms. Observers at McCook believed the Republican River will be able to handle water from the Frenchman, but expressed fear considerable flooding would result if other tribu- taries begin to rise. | The 1910 Junc TAILORED BY GOODALL TCLoTH Smarter than ever!
