Washed out in numerous places and in a
number of instances in long strips
Three of the Republican river bridges
or their approaches in this county were
damaged two at Indianola and one at
Bartley The east bridge at Indianola
andthe Bartley structure were consider
ably damaged The three bridges
leading intd McCook escaped any con

some instances cattle had to be driven
by horsemen to higher ground for safety
But reports from the Beaver valley
indicate that it was there that the larg
est damage was occasioned bridges
fences stock and crops all being heavily
damaged The water in places is re
ported as having covered the valley from
bluff to bluff and as having been a mile

twenty or more places some of the gaps
