yesterday did not arrive until nearly 5
o'clock. The train due at $50 arrived

east. 1t is learned from railroad men
that a rain storm of unusual violence
swept over Nebraska Saturday night and
Sunday. The streams are swollen and the
country roads are almost impossible for

a letter from DR.. Gadsden, the veterina-
