But Little Danger Feared in This Part of Eiver. Chamberlain, S. D., May 10. For the first time in three years the Mis souri river has carried away 16 vents in the trestle work of the Milwaukee river bridge here. The break is on Investments111? est sIde of the river and tne Iiauwuy company is using itucks and automobiles to transfer passengers anu naggage across the bridge, fur ther down the river, thus completing connections between Chamberlain and Oaeoma. The Missouri has risen rapidly in the last two days, and early this mornin the guage showed a height of 13 feet, 10 feet above normal. At 9 o'clock another six inches had been added. The river is filled with drift wood and logs, and it was this debris, pounding against the trestles that broke the bridge. l wo feet of snow at the head waters of the Missouri, followed by exceptionally heavy rains in tribu tary districts are responsible for the sudden rise. Flats all along the river are under water, and at Pierre last night residents in the lowlands were forced to abandon their homes.

The American Legion Auxiliary of this city has taken over thf work of soliciting clothing for the flood suffer ers and the chamber of commerce rooms will be open on Friday and Sat urday afternoons for the reception of clothing for-men, women or children. All clothinc donated should be clean and laundried as the flood suf-l ferers are not in position to mending or laundry work in the large refugee camps of the river districts. Practical clothing is most needed and anything that is serviceable and still in condition to be worn can be accepted ad sent to the needy who are gravely i need of this relief. Those who hae clothing that they can donate are urged to do so and to have these brought or sent to the chamber f commerce rooms on Friday or Saturday afternoon in order that they can be dispatched as soon as pos sible to the stricken areas of the south. The Plattsmouth people are urged to do all that they can to aid in the relief work of their fellow country men of the Mississippi valley as the refugee camps from Kentucky to New Orleans are filled with thousands of homeless people of all ages who are in need of clothing.
