A Large Damage Item
In common with most of Nebraskas
river counties Redwillow county has
this week suffered a heavy loss in
bridges the amount being placed at
between 82000 and 83000
Monday the ice began to break up
and move out of the river and being
driven driven by a large volume of
water caused by the melting of an un
usual amount of snow soon develoiixl
into a dangerous process as the heavy
ice gorged and broke and gorged again
and dashed upon the different bridges
over the Republican river in this county
Early in the afternoon of Monday
three spans of the bridge at Bartley
went out three spans of the bridge
south of Indianola and two spans of the
bridge west of Iudianola Later in the
afternoon two spans of the bridge south
of McCook gave way before the assaults
of the big ice floes and water and the
east bridge was also slightly damaged
but the west bridge remained intact and
undamaged
In all ten spans were carried out and
the damage will doubtless exceed 82000
in money not estimating the loss and
inconvenience to the public until the
bridges can be repaired This will be
necessarily delayed by the fact that
there are no timbers in the county of
the dimensions required
Commissioner Bennett announces that
the bridge south of McCook will be
ready for traffic by Tuesday of next
week

That venerable chestnut the removal
of the Western division headquarters
from McCook is again current among
some in our city To those of us who
have in the last 20 years seen McCook
grow from the virgin buffalo sod to a
sprightly city of 3000 souls this ancient
and wormy nut is but a source of peren

that no one will be frightened or misled
to any degree by this harmless twaddle
McCook will show a decided growth by
next fall
