SOLDIERS HERE TO
GUARD THE BUR
LINGTON BRIDGE
A touch of the shadow of war seems
1.. be destined for this city according
t. di-patches from Omaha, indicating
the intention to have a squad of sol
ders from the Fourth Nebraska de
tailed to guard the Burlington rail-r-
a I bridge over the Missouri river at
this point. The detail assigned to this
i:y will include sixteen men and will
l .t j. the bridge under strict guard.
Tr.U is a part of the plan of the fed
eral government to protect the great
trans-continental railroads of the
country and keep them open to travel
in case of warfare, and to permit
luiok communication and transporta
t between different parts of the
country. The bridges over .the Mis
.. ;:i river at Omaha and this city
:. e very important to the country as
th- y are connecting links of two of
:h- great railroad systems of the coun
try that would be called upon for serv
ice by the government. Great care is
b.ing taken in safeguarding the
b::dges along the Union Pacific lines
fiom the Pacific coast to Omaha,
where the connections for the east are
rr.ade. and the luilington is also to be
irivt n prott-etion to prevent any de
structive work that might be attempt
d by foreign spies or misguided per
sons in the destruction of property.
This policing and guarding will be
b-'k-d after to a great extent by the
National Guard of the different states
iv ease that actual warfare breaks out,
will assist in protecting the inter
t of the government.
