creek, which has been out of Us banks for
several days, because a raging torrent,

over a mile wide and Is still rising.
The loss to crops and live stock on the

fully $10,000.
River Breaks a Record.
BLOOMINQTON, Neb., July 3. The Re
publican river at this place Is higher than
ever known In the history of the coun
try, owing to the excessive rains. The bot
tom, extending from the railroad track to
the bluffs. Is one vast sheet of water. All
traffic from the south side has been aban
doned. C. E. Mofatt, a prosperous farmer
and stock raiser, lost about 140 head of
hogs. Losses of stock are reported from
various places along the valley. Early this
morning the liver bridge at Franklin was
swept away and the bridge at Naponee Is

been swept away at Orleans and la com
ing down the river. Several houses on the
bottom here are expected to float away.
GENEVA, Neb., July 3. (Special.) One-
half Inch more rain fell last night; this will
be a great hindrance to harvesting, which

the C. A. Thorp farm east of town yester
day. Many fields of corn are badly In need
of cultivation, and with the continued
rains and harvest at hand, will never be
cleaned.
SUTHERLAND. Neb., July 3. (Special.)
The amount of rainfall In this territory
during the past several days has caused
much surprise, to say the least, on the
part of the oldest settlers. Following
three or four hard rains In as many days,
there came a deluge Saturday night that
was little short of terrific. It Is estimated
that the precipitation amounted to fully
six Inches, and the storm was general
over the contiguous section. Crops and
especially the sugar beets Were was; ed
out In many places, and water Is stand
ing to a depth of several feet In the low
places. In town for several hours after
the rain It was almost Impossible tiV. get
about the streets. The railroad grade was
washed in many places and trains held up
till repairs could be made. It Is difficult to
form any definite estimate of the damage
to crops and orchards, the latter llng
damaged to a considerable extent by hall
as well as the wind recently.

gram.) The heavy fains o tlie last few

and a large part of the Fort Pierre real-
dent section Is under from a few inches
to several feet of water. The residence
of Dr. Lavery was washed off the founda
tion and others are in danger in case there
Should be any further rise. No news has
come in from up the stream, but if the
same ambunt of rain fell further west as
here the stream will be several feet
higher. This afternoon the City of Fort
Pierre took out all the residents of the
south side of Fort Pierre, the principal
residence section, either taking them to
the north side of the stream or to this
city.
Three Inches of rain fell here in the past
thirty-six hours and the Missouri river is
rapidly rising.
