TRAINS CROSS THE ELKHORN
AGAIN YESTERDAY.
WORST OF THE RISE IS PAST
*
Waters are Subsiding and the Drldge
Gang Will Complete Its Work on
the Structure Today Damage ay
Rise Not Large.
The Union Pacific bridge across the
Elkhoni has been made mifo by the
bridge men nnd Is again being crossed
by the traliiH of that line between this
city nnd Columlnm. The pile driver
and force of workmen had the shaky
timbers braced or replaced so that
their work train came up on It ycstor-
doy , about noon , nnd Immediately af
terward the passenger loft for the
south , returning at the usual time last
night. This morning the bridge men
resumed tholr work and expect to
have the structure permanently re
paired by tonight so that they can
leave for headquarters.
For the last several years the Un
ion Pncllic people have had consider
able trouble with their bridge across
the Klkhorn. The river changed its
channel , making n bridge necessary
and a handsome steel structure was
erected. Since then the current of the
river has almost worked Its way out
from under the now bridge.
The worst of the rlso Is evidently
passed and the water Is falling. The
Hood resulted in no large damage to
railroad , county or farm property , al
though the gurgling current ate into
the banks at places and gave Indica
tion of what might have happened had
there been a greater or more pro
longed Hood.
A Statement.
The following article appeared in
The News of date March 22 , 1905 :
"G. W. Rvans has won the case of
Conloy vs. Rvans In district court , ap
pealed from the county court , _ Con
loy sued Rvans to recover $600 com
mission on a hind deal. The point of
law on which the case was decided ,
was to the effect that the contract had
expired' before Conloy secured n buy
er. When a buyer was brought to
the place , Rvans had determined not
to sell. Then Couley sued for com
mission alleged to bodue. . Judge
Hoyd threw the case out of court.
M. H. Foster was attorney for Evans. "
I desire to say In reply to this that
the facts are , this ease was dismissed
by the district court on the ground
that while the original contract be
tween myself and Mr. Rvans was in
writing , it had expired , and the court
held that an extension of time could
not be done by parole agreement.
There was no evidence submitted. He-
fore I started the action I unlerUood
that it was questionable whether or
not the court would hold such an ex
tension good , anil us to whether or
j not I shall ever be able to collect any
thing from Mr. Rvans in this case is
i yet to be determined , but whether I
| do or not , the decision does not
change the moral obligation of Mr.
Rvans nor his conduct In this matter
nnd In order that the public may know
the facts I have the following affi
davits from reliable men :
One from B. R. Reed to the effect
that he was present , while Rvans orally
extended the time of sale , nnd agreed
to pay $000.00.
One from the buyer to the effect
that Rvans offered him a $100 in
ducement to not close the deal then ,
and he , Evans , would let him have
farm later by first deeding it to Mr.
Tannchill.
And one from Geo. Williams to the
effect that Rvans told him. after I sued
him , that he did give Conley further
time , but that Conloy did not make
him sign contract over again.
I could produce many others.
It might appear to some that $000
is a large commission for the sale of
one farm , but if It is too large a com
pensation , then it was too much for
Mr. Rvans to offer , and the reason of
this contract was on account of the
poor crops In that vicinity and for
that reason It was very hard to sell
the land and an agent was apt to lose
his customers by taking them In ( bat
direction. J. II. Conley.
