The Platte Valley,about seventy. five
mile" west Of this place is the scene of
the most diI;lsterou1 foo experienc ed
in the history of the Union Pacific
Railroad. The Platte is broad and
shallow stream which easily overfows
its banks. All its tributaries are
now pouring vast volumes of water
and ice into it, and it has become a
rushing flood and fears are entertained
of loss of life. When news of the
food was received at the headquarters
here warning WAS teleyraphed to the
towns below on the Platte. People
took refuge on the roofs of houses.
Barns and fences were carried away
and all the stock drowned. The $50, 900
wagon bridge at Columbus was
washed away. The flood reached
Schuyler at q last night and was rag

Heroic Death.
TWO BROTHERS SACRIFICE THEIR
LIVES To SAVE OTHERS.

LIVES IO SAVE 9TH EitS.
Pittsburg, March 26.-About half
past two O'Clock yesterday afternoon
John Sullivan and his brother Mich
ael were at work on the track, near
Denmier Station. john Sullivan was
the section boss of the subdivision
between McKeesport and Port Perry,
aud he had made tour along the
track to see ii everything was in pro
per condition. He found ~ rail that
was not quite straight; SO he and his
brother took a heavy trackman's s crow
bar and lifted the rail up to st-aighten
it.
While they were busily at work the
afternoon accommodation train bound
east with u heavy load ~ passengers
came along. There was Il curve Just
below the place where the men were
working and they did not see the
tr Tin until it was almost upon them.
They took in the situation ut "a glance.
The rail which they had been fixing
was lifted up and the huge crowbar
was wedged in such a position that
the train would certainly be thrown
from the track unless the bar was re-
moved. On one side OF the tract was y
hill and on the other steep bank run.
ming down to the river, so ii the train
was thrown from the track while un-
der full headway of steam there would
undoubtedly be an appalling loss Oi
life.
The men seized the bar and began
frantically to pull aud twist it about.
The engineer ot the train saw them,
hut could not stop. He says that the
| efforts to free the crowbar and lower
the rail were frantic and like the
working Of madmen, and they seemed
| to forget their own danger. The bal
WAS loosened and the rail lowered just
as the train reached it, but the men
who Lad done so nobly paid dearly foi
their daring. The engine struck them
and killed John instantly, and man.
gled Michael SO frightlully that u,
died in short time. The men were
married and leave families.
