RAILROADS SUFFER LOSSES Heaviest Downpour in Years Ruins Many Fields and Washes Out Numerous Bridges. { STREAMS OUT OF THEIR BANKS, While the hen\ln-' of the 7a|n Friday night missed Omaha and the eastern portion of the state, nearly every other part of it, southern South Dakota, eastern Wyoming and north- ern Kansas, according to morning reports to the railroads, were vigited by a downpour that in many locali- ties was almost a flood, causing great damage to crops and causing numerous washouts. In portions of eastern Wyoming tornadic winds accompanied the rain, | but as wires are down the reports | are coming in in fragments and lack | detail. At Node's ranch, the second | station over the Wyoming line on| the Northwestern's Lander branch, a tornado covering an area some two miles wide and, so far as can be learned, twenty-five miles or so Southwest to northwest, passed through the country. { At Node's ranch, a station where there are about a dozen houses, all of them| were destroyed or badly damaged by the wind, and a child killed. In the path of the storm the report comes that several ranch houses were destroyed, but it Is not belleved that any of the upants | were killed. | occ Appears Friday Night. The storm appears to have struck Node's ranch about 5 o'clock in the eve- ning. The telegraph line, a single wire, was blown down, and since the first re- port that came across country to Harri- #on, was received, nothing has been heard from the stricken zone. Late at night the wires went down between Chadron and Hermosa, and consequently all north- western territory in the west part of the state 1s cut off from communication. Along the Northwestern the storm struck the Bonesteel country and reports of serious washouts between Bonesteel and Winner are reported. The Burlington's telegraph service to the northwest is completely ‘demoralized on account of the wind of Friday night, ond only fragments of reports have been received. Cyclonio conditions are reported to have been general over a good deal of the country through eastern Wyoming, but no report of serious damage has come to headquarters. A cloudburst at Marietta, the first sta- tion west of Edgemont on the Sheridan line, washed out one bridge and carried away a long stretch of grade. Another bad washout is reported in the vicinity of Hot Springs and several between Sher- idan and New Castle, Wyo. Five Inches of Rain. From Grand Island west on the Union Pacific and up the Republican valley from Red Cloud on the Burlington the precipitation during the afternoon of Fri- day and Friday night amounted to four to five inches, throwing all streams out of their banks and bringing about tlood conditions. In Kansas the rain, according to the raflroad reports, was heavier than in any part of Nebraska. The railroads report that around Marysville, Hanover, Concordia, Blue Rapids and up and down the river from Topeka thera was five to cight inches of rain during the night and more falling, and without any indications of a cessation. Railroad reports indicate that through northern and central Kansas the streams are all out of their banks, many of them the highest in years. The low lands are tlooded and crops practically ruined where they have not been washed away. Cut Alfalfs is Loat . It is asserted that the first cutting of alfalfa on the bottom lands in the south- ern part of Nebraska and all through Kansas will be a total loss. Where the fields are not covered with water the 18in has been so continuous that the for- ege plant after baving been cut has rotted. Southwestern Towa was hit about the eame as the southern part of Nebraska. Reports indicate that over four or five | counties the rain commenced to fall early in the evening and continued all night, the precipitation being anywhere from | one to three and four inches, pushing | the streams out of their banks and flood- ing the bottom lands, doing great dam- | ege to the growing crops.

SCOTT'S BLUFF MAN I5 ASSASSINATED Joseph Layton is Shot Through the Head While Sitting in His ~Home HIS DEATH IS INSTANTANEOUS SCOTT'S BLUFF, Neb., June 12. —(8pecial Telegram.)—-Joseph Lay- ton was shot and instantly killed last night about 9 o'clock by an un- known assassin., He was sitting at a table reading in company with his father-in-law when the bullet, a large callber steel-jacketed missile, entered the window, penetrating the head near the base of the brain, back of the right ear, emerging over the left eye. Layton had been here nearly thirty years, was prosperous and well to do. He was married about a year ago, and his wife who has been in a hospital for sev- | in bed in an adjoining hoom at the time of the tragedy. About three years ago Layton had trouble with a Russian over the.division of water from a lateral, which both used, a fight followed and Layton struck the Russian with a shovel, inflicting a fatal blow. He was acquitted as having acted in self-defense. He paid the Russian family a damage judgment later. It is not known whether this had anything to do with last night's tragedy. Berlin Paper Says Bryan Is Posing as Rescuer of Nation BERLIN, June 12—(Via London.)—The Vossiche Zeitung alone has published so far what purports to be a short summary | of the latest American fgte. The news- peper comments on this communication in the following terms: “The note happily contains nothing of that sharpness which.according to dis- patches from London it was said to con- tein, nor is there even a threat to break off diplomatic relations. On the con‘rary the text does not lack a certain warmth and an acknowledgement of legaliy, to be found on the German side. “After declarations made by Mr. Bryan one expected a note which’ would increase the danger of a German-American crisis. i | Mr. Bryan, who stands at the head of the American peace societics and likes to hear the people call him the ‘Prince of Feace,' apparently desires to appesr as the rescuer of-the nation from this dan- ger. This for the sake of interasl po- litieal reasons, in order to win for him- self triends among the peace advocates, n.ong the German-Americans, the Irish nd the Hebrews, perhaps looking ahead the next presidential election. As for Mr. Wilson he seems to hope to play the role of arbiter between Germany and England through his great succcss in| foreign policles to strengthen his posi- tion at home.” Referring to Robert Lansing, the seo- rctary of state ad Interim, the Vossiche Zettung says “This gentleman cannot be regarded as ar unconditional anglophile; he once wiote a letter that he was tired of teing Evpgland’'s messenger boy."

Some German forces, it Is even declared, already have been detached from the Galiclan armies and hurried to the Isonzo fromt. The latest official announcements from Petrograd assert that the Rus- slans have assumed the offensive along the Dubysa river and in the Baltic provinces, and they concede the loss of ground nowhere except along the river Pruth, in Bukowins. Viewing the recent fighting in Galicla, it may be divided roughly into three battles. The chief of these was fought forty miles to the southeast of Lembers, where the forces under General von Lin- singen had not only crossed the Dnelster, |but had progressed some twelve miles be- yond, getting astride the Lemberg rail- road. These were the forces which the Russians apparently have forced back With heavy losses, thus placing the river in Russian hands throughout.
