CBOP LOSS WILL BE HEAVY The rains throughout eastern Ne braska, western Iowa and north western Missouri Tuesday afternoon, night and Wednesday have resulted In damages of fully 11,000,000 to the roads operating out of Omaha, according to local railroad officials. They are of the opinion that the damage to crops in the storm area wilt be an additional $1,000,000, and perhaps considerable more. As a result of the torrential rains dur ing' the last twenty-four hours, bridges a Ions; the railroad lines have been washed away. Along the valleys of the streams for miles on either side the rich' agricul tural lands are under water to a depth of from one to six and nine ' feet In these sections where' there are many thousands of seres of corn and smalt grain, it is asserted that crops are to tally destroyed, that In many localities It will be days before the water will run oft and that then It will be too lata to replant. Roads to Moath Inoperative. There was not a road operating trains between Omaha and Kansas City and Bt. Louis, though late in the afternoon the Missouri Pacific resumed service. West of the Missouri river the damage sustained by the railroads was Insig nificant as compared with that through Iowa and in western Missouri. Along the Northwestern, from Fremont all the way through to Long Pine and on the Boneeteel branch, from Norfolk to Winner, the rain continued from late Tuesday afternoon until morning, the precipitation being figured by ageata and others along the lines at from four to eight inches. It threw the streams out of their banks end spread their waters over the bottom lnnds for miles. From Fremont to Norfolk, all along the Elk horn valley, the water was up to or over the tracks. The bridges withstood the floods, but in many places the grades were softened end badly washed. Sissy Acres l ader Water. A Conservative estimate by Northwest era officials indicates that up the ink horn valley fully 10,000 acres of crop Is under water, gome fields only a few Inches, wbilo in others the water Is as many feet deep. The main line of the Omaha road from above Blair, all the way to Bloux City, and where It Is built on the lowlands, is under water. The brklicee remain Intact, but the track Is badly washed. The same conditions maintain across from Emerson to Norfolk, and on the Uartlng ton and Llopmfield branches. Through this section of the state, corn and email grain on the rolling land Is badly washed, much of it behig torn out by the roots and carried into the lowlands below. All the streams are out of their banks and some of those that at low water are only a few feet wide, have now spread out from one-half to a mile over the vaHeye, Uown the eiisaouri snd for twenty-five to forty miles back in the state. It is as serted that conditions are even worse than farther north, the rain having beau heavier and continued longer.

IUohard Grant, 64, waa murdered in his saloon, the Fremont, some time between midnight and CiSO o'clock yesterday morn ing, the murderer splitting his skull with an axe and than hacking his body in a score ef places.

Bheriff Oaylord and Coroner O. L. Mlil dlckautf are rushing to the scene by automobile, but as nearly 100 miles of rugged country separates Pinedale from Lander, the county seat, they may not arrive until tomorrow. Grant's body waa found by Roy- Alli son, an employe, when the latter en tered the saloon at 6:30 o'clock. It was lying behind the bar, where Grant had fallen when he was struck with an axe or mattock. The Instrument sheared off tho top of his head and tils brains splat tered out upon the bar and floor. After dealing tha fatal blow the murderer went around the bar to where the body lay and again and again hacked the Uinbg and trunk.

Indicating that the crime had not been committed long previously. The safe of the saloon and tha ruh (later were rifled, but there Is a suspicion thst the muKler was not with the motive of robbery and that the money recepta cles were emptied merely to cause belief that a robber had done the job.
