Dick Grooms was in town from

of a peculiar circumstance which
happened at his place last Friday
Dick spent much valuable time and
considerable money in rigging up a

and viewed the results of his work
Friday about 11 oglock with a great
deal of satisfactioa Shortly after
noon the Aiobrara commenced to
i
raise and betweeaone and two oclock
had readied a point about five feet
above its ordinary level and the result
of his labors was swept away Dick
followed the wheel about three fourths
of a mile down the river and then
went home Saturday morning he
went down the river and located his
i wheel about a mile away all smashed
to pieces The plant will be rebuilt
at once This sudden rise in the Nio
brara is unprecedented and its cause
ia mystery
