the company, leaving that of the adjacent
communities to be inferred. Reports
show that the lines of this road, some 135
miles in length, are entirely blockaded by
the car,yng away of bridges and tho wash

The section of country where the food
was most severe is traversed by numerous
branches. not only of tho Northwestern but
also the Illinois Central, the Milwaukee &
st. Paul and the main line of the Chicago,

repo't is of damage to these lines have been
received except from the Illinois Central,
