A rain storm , the heaviest in
j'cnrs , visited nearlyevcrj' portiort
of Eastern Nebraska Sunday and
Sun ay night. It some locali ties
rainfall excecdcd five inches ,
doing great damage to railroad
property and swceping away
bridges on tl1e connty roads ,
besides tearing up the turnpikes.
'fhe storm of Sunday and Sun-
ay night was so severe along
portions of the Omaha , Northwestern -
western , Burlington and Union
Pacific roads , tlmt train scrvice
was abandoned Monday amI in i
some instances it will be several
days before trains are back on
ti1ile.
Of all the roads , the lines of
the Northwestern in the north.
east corner of Nebraska. sutTered
the most. In that section cloudburst -
burst seemed to follow cloud-
burst. The first of the storms I
swept over the country shortly
after 7 o'clock in the morning.
There was a short cessation of
the rain and then it was resumed
harder than ever.
In the vicinity of Wahoo , the
cloudburst seemed to comc with
great fury. Wahoo creek soon
became a river a mile wide. 'l'he
Union Pacific railroad bridge over
the stream gave way and floated
down against the bridge of the
Northwestern. That teed the
strain for a couple of hours and
thee. went out. Each road lost

merrilv along on the main track.
Just then the train came speeding
eastward , crashing into the car
and ripping things up generaJly.

Lincoln to clear away the debris ,
and by the time this was done
several trains were stalled , including -
ing No. 41. No casualties were
reported.
