caused by the wash-out, the Elkhorn
passenger train began running this
side of Chadron on Tuesday last. This
was the worst washout the company
has ever experienced, and it is surpris.

miles of grading washed away, and the
culverts and bridges gone, that traffic

The threatening weather Wednesday
evening probably kept a good many
from attending the Orpbean Quartet
concert. AT any rate the audience
was not so large as it should have been,
although good many were in attend

Quartet, as usual, captured the house.
Each time they appeared they were
encored but once they did not respond.
