Thnt morning I went down to the beach or. the car to see the storm. The waves were run ning very high and destroying a good many small bath houses , small shops and temporary buildings.

That iftcrnoon I saw a largo cross on the Lower of a church near us swaying in the wind and there appeared to be much excitement on Broadway , the street where I lived , but tven then I didn't anticipate any trouble. About 4 o'clock my son drove up to the house In a brewery wagon drawn by one lone mule and told us that the water was coming up and we must le ve.

Myself' mil daughters and two other families got into the wagon , and we started tor the brewery , which wo thought was the safest place. We were on about the highest point of land in the city , but even hero the waters of the bay and gulf met and we could see the waves coming up the streets in both directions. When wo got to the brew ery our team was just about covered with water. My son carried us in. The engine and boiler room was filled with water and we went up en the next floor. There were then about 100 pee ple there. They kept coining in all night , until there were more than 500 there. How they got there I don't know , for , the water was everywhere.

STANTON , Neb. , Oct. 1. At the railroad crossing just east of the vil lage of Pilgcr , in this county , Ed Us- tlck was struck and killed by a special freight. He had been In Pllger and was returning home. He was seen by a number going toward the railroad in n wagon , his teani going at a smart Jog.

His team slowed to a walk as they approached the track and just not over it as the train struck the wagon back of the fore wheels. Ustlck was thrown unuer the engine nnd dragged for the distance of over a hundred feet. His death was probably Instan taneous. His intestines , stomach , heart , lungs and liver were torn out of the body and lay some thirty feet from It. The right arm was cut off and there was hardly a whole bone In the body. The undisputed evidence showed that the trainmen made every effort to avoid the collision as eoon as they discovered the danger , though at the time of the accident the train was running at a greater rate of speed than permitted by the ordinances of the village of Pilger , within whose limits the accident happened. A broken jug , which had contained whiskey was found near the corpse. Slimier Trlul ut Alliance. ALLIANCE , Neb. , Oct. 1. District court convened here Monday with Judge W. H.
