' S12.98 SOENNJCHSEN'S Dress Department (Continued from Page One) With the rapid raise of the water, the efforts to keep open the sewer inlets was forced to be abandoned, and the great force of the water swept on, unrestrained by the efforts of those volunteer workers that had gathered along 6th street and that section of Main street just off the intersection of 6th. With the raise of the waters, the residents and occupants of the business section of North 6th street hurriedly placed their flood gates in the doorways, gathered brooms and those who had sandbags in reserve swung into action. With the height of the water, the damage was held 10 a very low figure, as but lit tle of the flood water gained entrance to the buildings. The business houses in the Ruse building had water creep into the Shea restaurant, the Naeve liquor store and the two rooms occupied by the Ruse appliance store. Some water seeped into the basement of the Hotel Plattsmouth from the sidewalk but the main flood was kept from the buidling, although at rne iuu stage tne water was rushing dangerously near the doorways. In the height of the storm lightning struck at the Rainey Coffee shop, but was carried off by the lightning ar restors and without serious damage and none to the build- ng. The storm seemed to have I been more intense outside of Plattsmouth than in the city, both north and south. The de luge was very heavy south of the city, -and the Legion club was one of the heavy sufferers as the rain swept into the build ing, driven by the heavy wind, soon had the place well damp ened. The rain, wind driven, swept' down the pavement and made the adjoining fields lakes of water for a wide area in the lower places. Houses in the low lands near the city were stand ing surrounded by water but no serious damage to the residences are reported. North of Plattsmouth in the Fort Crook area the storm was most intense and the paving covered by the flood waters in a short time, farther north the wind and rain was followed by a verv heavv hail that covered I the paving with the snowy ivhite pellets. THOMAS ' WALLING CO. . Abstracts of Title "Title Insurance" Plattsmouth, Nebraska Water was rushing across highway No. 75 north of this city and hundreds of cars were stall ed along the road as it was dan gerous to venture into the wat er that at one time was deep enough to float a car. The Coi ner bus was delayed for an hour near Fort Crook and they had to run through water that reached the floor of the bus but Joe Mrasek, the driver, was able to get his bus load of pas sengers through for a belated evening meal. Strangers caught here in the rain had a thrill out of the storm, one carload of tourists from Wichita, Kansas, arrived just before the full force of the storm and paid little attention to the sound of the siren until the firemen moved their car to higher ground, just as the flood waters started. The rush of the waters was as quickly followed by the recession of the flood and this too was a great sur priseto the visitors. The BREX shops had a close call from the effects of the flood as the large retard dam at the south of the shop yards was dangerously near the spilling point but was able to carry off the waters in an orderly man ner with only the usual rain damage and inconvenience. The city street department deserves a great deal of com mendation for their speed in the after flood work, the city flusher being called out as soon as the storm was over and by 10 p. m. had the streets cleared of the slimy mud that had been deposited by the flood waters. The basement at Phil's tavern on South 6th street was a suf ferer from the flood water and four inches of mud was left de posited, and the owner of the building is having the danger of further flood eliminated by the closing of the sidewalk beer delivery. The Shea cafe had several inches of water sweep into the dining room despite the efforts of the workers to check the i spread of the waters and as the result the restaurant was out of commission Thursday. The Northern Construction Co., in charge of the paving on First Avenue and Avenue A, will have some loss in parts of the paving that was undermin ed in the rush of the flood waters down the streets. The two large slabs withstood the force of the water and the dam age came from the sides where the paving was yet incomplete. The barricades at the work were all washed away in the flood. : The flood did not do the usu al damage on Washington ave nue as the residents there have largely filled in the lots around the residences and kept away the danger from overflowing.
