MISSOURI RIVER
AGAIN THREATENS
BURLINGTON ROAD
High Waters May Cut New
Channel Through Iowa Farm
Land Railroad Is
Menaced.
riattsmouth, Neb., May 26. (Spe
cial.) The Missouri river is agnin
causing the Burlington a lot of grief
on the Iowa side opposite this city,
where it has swept away much farm
land during the past 10 days and
threatens to abandon its channel
and flow down the Iowa bottoms,
leaving the railroad bridge here
stranded high and dry over a dried
up waterway.
The scene of its present depreda
tions is several miles south of Fol
som and directly opposite this city,
where so much money was spent by
the railroad and government to curb
the stream. With the receding of
the high water stage it was hoped
that relief was in sight, but a sudden
cavein of 400 feet left a locomotive
that was engaged in switching cars
on the river siding stranded as its
track was swept away and brought
a hasty call for help from this city.
A large number of employes of the
Burlington shops here responded to
the call and spent the entire-night
at the scene of the break aiding "n
handling rock and other material
that had been rushed to repair the
break.
While the situation apparently Js
improving the railroad is keeping a
close watch on developments in or
der to protect its roadbed.
