Ponca Suddenly
Adopts New Course
LYNCH—Tne old saying that
•‘a stream can change its own
course” has been proved near the
Guy Mulhair place, about 4 miles
east of Lynch.
The Por.ca creek, having cver
fiov/ed with water several times
this spring, on June 21 broke an
entire new path by angling a
cross Guy Mulhair’s field. The
stream now runs along highway
12 straight for the bridge east of
Guy Mulhair’s.
Much speculation is being done
by highway officials as to just
what might happen to the high
way and also the highway bridge
if more flood waters come.
This new bed was made by the
Ponca after the high water had
subsided.
