PLATTE RIVER
FLOOD IN SPRING
Fremont, Neb., Feb. 7. Railroad
men. who have been keeping watch on
the antics of the Platte river are
looking for a big flood when the ice
goes out this spring. The ice on the
river is over a foot thick and if the
cold weather continues a few inches
will be added.
Since the flood of. 1012 when mW-ts
of track wore damaged and nearly
every bridge from Columbus to the
mouth of the river was washed out,
the railroads with tracks running
along the stream or bridges crossing
it have done extensive protection
work.
The dyke erected along the bank of
the river west and south of Fremont
four years ago at a cost of thousands
of dollars will be given its test this
year, railroad men believe, as the ice
is thicker than it has been for years.

DISTRICT COURT
The injunction case over the Wash
ington avenue paving is still the
center of attraction at the court house
and the district court room has been
filled with an interested audience who
have attended the sessions. The
taking of testimony was continued
throughout the day yesterday and this
morning, but it is thought that the
case can be submitted to Judge Beg
ley this evening for his consideration.
There has been a large number of
witnesses examined on both sides of
the case to establish the legality of
the creation of the district and also
as to the value of the property along
the paved streets both before and
after the paving had been laid.
Tomorrow the hearing on the con
test over the school bonds will be
staged, providing the paving injunc
tion case can be disposed of, this will
also require some time to hear,
as there will be a great many wit
nesses to be called to testify. This
is the case where a number of the
citizens are seeking to have the re
cent school bonds for $15,000 declar
ed void owing to a fraudulent elec
tion. It is claimed that a number
voted who were not entitled to do so
under the law and for this reason
they ask that the election be declared
void. The bonds were carried by a
majority of five votes at the election
on November 7th.
TRAINS BEARING
FIFTH NEBRASKA
THROUGH THIS A. M,
The troop trains carrying the
equipment ar.d members of the Fifth
Nebraska Infantry from the Mexi
can border, were delayed in their ar
rival at Fort Crook where they are
to be quartered for the present. The
first train reached Pacific Junction
shortly after 1 o'clock last night
but was held there until this morn
ing and the first section of th"
regiment passed through this city at
5:25 this morning and the second sec
tion at I:U1, reaching the fart uL
daybreak. The delay in the train
was a great disappointment to a great
many residents of the city who had
hoped to be able to witness the return
of the boys from the southland, and
the Burlington station was beseiged
with inquiries as to the time of the
arrival of the trains but it was im
possible to give any accurate infor
mation as the government was direct
ing the movements of the trains from
the time that they left the border un
til reaching Fort Crook. The bar
racks at the fort have been arranged
for the reception of the troopers; and
they will be held there until the war
department finally decides on what
steps to take in regard to mustering
out the boys, but in view of the war
like condition of affairs it is not likely
that they will be released for sonic
time at least.
AN OLD FRIEND CALLS.
The Journal was more than pleased
to receive a call from our old friend,
B. F. Iloback, from near Nehawka,
on Tuesday of this week. Mr. Hc
back'.s visits to the county scat are
indeed few and far between, owing
to his poor health of late years,, but
he is always a mighty welcome visitor
around the Journal ollice.' He us
ually gets here about once a year
when his health will permit, and on
this trip we were indeed pleased to
learn that he is feeling much better
than for some time. He says that
he believes he has a second lease on
life, and has decided to remain with
us for some time. The Journal
joins with his many friends in hoping
that this excellent old gentleman may
continue to improve. He was ac
companied on this trip by Wm. Stine
from near Union.

TO HAVE "HARE AND HOUNDS.
As the 22d of February is the In
dian day as well as Washington's
birthday, the Plattsmouth Cycle com
pany will give a free-for-all "Hare
and Hounds" race, and will give the
man catching the hare a ?87.50 New
Departure road racing tire, but if the
hare comes in first it gets the tires.
The hound that catches the hare will
also be the next hare, in the next
race. As this will be held every other
month, if there is enough interest, all
boys that have bicycles or that can
borrow them, arc advised to enter and
ask Dawson for particulars. There is
no advantage in being big or small or
in any one physical feature as in this
race it is judgment, skill, quick think
ing, speed and good eye-sight that
counts.
STRAYED.
From my home, one mile east and
two and one-half miles north of Mur
dock, one 2-year-old heifer, red with
white spots, heavy with calf, weight

GERMANS IN BERLIN
REGRET BREAK, BUT
Berlin, Monday, Feb. 5. (Via
London, Feb. C. Whatever may be
the feeling toward the United States
Germans in Berlin, anel as far as has
been heard outside the capital, have
manifested consideration and courte
sy toward Americans since the news
was received of the breaking off of
diplomatic relations. Aside from an
occasional frank comment on the ac- '
tion of the American government, no
acts of an unfriendly nature have
been reported.
The only difficulty which has been
reported thus far has been at one
district headquarters of police which ;
is charged with viscing passports to j
go aboard. Officials of the passport 1
department refused to vise passports
until holders were able to show
steamer tickets to America. On the
other hanel, the police in the main
residential districts are accepting "re
turn to America" as an adequate
reason for departure, but are insist
ing that customary interval of fort
night for military investigation of the
application cannot be waived.
