sometime. is banging in the balance,
and is liable to be swept away at any
moment, especially should the high
water continue twenty-!our hours

BAzoo that he visited the ground
later in the day and found it compar.
atively safe.

the county road between the railroad
and the Muddy, and which ha, com,
pletely stopped all travel in that
quarter.
