BY RECENT RAINS Bridges Are Also Washed Out in Southern Nebraska and North- ern Kansas. TROUBLE IN IOWA While the morning reports to the rallroads indicate that throughout Nebraska the rain has ceased falling ‘and the weather has cleared, great damage has been caused as a result of the flood. This is particularly true in the south part of the state.

All low and bottom lands in Nuckolls, Thaver and Webster rounties are submerged to a depth of two to ten feet, completely destroying trops and drowning considerabls live i stock. In many instances farmers and sther dwellers on the low lands saved themselves, their families and thelr property by moving to the hills. The rain k| seemed to be In the nature of a cloud- | burst, and continued for hours. South of Buperlor, some years ago, the i Northwestern bullt a line down to Web- r, Kan., constructing a bridge over the R Republican river. This bridge was two miles south of Superior, and consisted F pt & structure of nine bents, each thir- tesn feet In length. Afterward, both the line and the e were leased to the ¥ Bante Fe for a termis of years, that road being des! of getting Into Super jor, though it did not went to bulld into Kebraska, as it did not want to comply with certain conditions of the state law. Bridge Carried Away. Sunday, following the flood, the R publican river rose fifteen feet 4 car- ried the bridge away, turning thé whole valley fnto a sea, six to elght miles wide and from %o to fifteen feet deep.

Belleville and Scandia, the over the Republican river, & structure more than 1000 fet long, was fted off the plling and oarried away down the stream, where It was com- 1 pletely demolished. Another brid on ] the same stream, quits as long, between i Belleville and McFarland, was washed away and destroyed. For miles along the Republioan river, it is asserted that the Rock Island grade has been washed to the level of the surrounding countty and the road will have to Le relullt before In the meantime, : 1 | i - i { i | 1 trains on the Omaha-Denver line will be 1 fetoured over the Unlon Pacific. | Orops Under ¥ Advices to fices indicate Into Kansas whole i raing of the section of ten miles | destroyed. ! miles of country submerged to a depth of oZe to ten feot and in the low lands here places where the apparently it did to speak of.
