HAIL AIDS IN WORK OF DEVASTATION Swollen Streams Overflow Lowlands, Washout Tracks, Crops and Lons of SUPERIOR, Neb., July 8 —(2pecial.)—The flood situation here is worse than ever this morning. The Santa Fe road, which has been open up to this morning, was closcd by a foot of water running over the tracks Msoutheast of town. The Burlington, which was blocked by a washout fifty feet In length and elght feet in depth between Buperfor and Guide Rock, finds conditions #till worse this morning. i A stretch of track sald to be 1,000 fest in length has caved into the Republican river about ten miles west. Two construc- tlon trains have been sent to the scene to bulld around the washout. Jacob Buchlelter, a farmer living in the bottoms southeast of town, stayed in his home with his family too long. The water rose to the danger point and a party res- cued them in skiffs. ‘The Missouri Pacific, after much trouble, got a train South to Scandla, Kan., yester- day, where it was stopped by an elghty-foot ‘washout. All the corn on the lowlands has been ‘damaged by tbe high water and some of 1t has been ruined.

Some of the smaller grains have been completely destroyed by the severe winds and rains, while hundreds of acres are now hidden beneath the waters which over- flowed the banks of the streams. Many acres of corn bave been whipped into shreds by the flerce hallstones that bave fallen, leaving nothing but the stalks remaining. The farmers say that it will be impossible for them to secure more than one-third of a crop of all thelr grain. The recent rains have about completel the destruction of all the country bridges. Those that are mot washed entirely away are rendered unsafe for travel. The waters are still rising and it is diffcult o say how soon the repairs can be made. It is now estimated that the repairs will cost the county nearly $10,000.
